The Very NORTH / HAFJELL

Welcome to Hafjell

They call it the Scandinavian Alps — sharp peaks, deep valleys, and a rhythm that shifts with the seasons. Just a few hours from Oslo, yet it feels like a world apart.

Easy to reach, but far enough to feel like an escape. A place where arrival itself feels like stepping into a slower pace.

Stays, handpicked.

From modern cabins to timeless lodges. Each handpicked, so your nights in Hafjell are as memorable as your days.

Best hikes & nature

From fiery autumn trails to summer lakes and winter peaks — Hafjell l is nature in every season.

Winter in the Nordic mountains.

Snow transforms the landscape into silence. Peaks soften under white layers, and every step on skis leads you further into stillness.

The air is sharp, the horizon endless, and the rhythm slows to match the falling snow. Here, winter is not a season to endure — but one to embrace.

Hafjell in a nutshell.

Peaks, valleys, and shifting light. A place where every season writes a different story — and you’re invited to walk, ski, and stay inside it.
