Blomsetbue... Possibly Norways most romantic cabin...
This cabin is situated in the grounds of the the larger cabin Blomset... But it is intimate and cozy.... And just right for that romantic "snowy" break.... Although it can sleep up to 12.. we would recommend only 10. Blomset is an old Log Built farm house which has been tastefully restored and extended in a traditional Norwegian style. It is of a very high standard and is well equipped for your stay. The reasons why Geilo stand out from other Norwegian resorts are many, but one of the main reasons is the close proximity between the skiing areas and the towncenter. You can actually walk from the skilifts to the town center still wearing your skiboots! Geilo is a nice little village, with shops and restaurants and all service facilities in the town center. Geilo is also Norway's most traditional skiresort, having been a touristdestination for more than a 100 years. Our long history and well organized infrastructure, benefits our guests greatly, and makes Geilo a unique place. Geilo has a central location in Southern Norway, 800 metres above sea level half way between Oslo and Bergen. With the Hallingskarvet mountain as its backbone and Hardangervidda, Northern Europes largest mountain plateau, as its nearest neighbour, Geilo offer unique possibiliteis for great experiences all year.

GEILO and the Skiing!
Set in the heart of southern Norway, against the backdrop of Hallingskarvet, Europes largest mountain plateau, is the resort of Geilo. With the famous Oslo Bergen railway line running through its centre, this charming village has been welcoming visitors since 1890 and continues to retain its traditional Norwegian character. Though the village height may seem a little low compared to many alpine resorts, Geilo enjoys a long and reliable snow season from mid-November through to early May. Its uncrowded slopes and excellent English-speaking ski school make it a perfect choice for beginners and intermediates. Exceptional service and a genuine friendly Scandinavian atmosphere, along with a multitude of off-slope activities ensure visitors return time and time again. Christmas in Geilo Most hotels in this resort are visited by Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve. You can arrange for your child to receive a gift when in resort by leaving your gift with the staff at reception. Please note that Christmas is celebrated on the 24th December in Scandinavia (this can affect local services, shops, restaurants etc). Also the ski centre closes early on Christmas Eve. The Skiing in Geilo... Beginners. A wonderful environment for those skiers at the delicate stage. Many of the runs are extremely wide and uncrowded, creating the perfect atmosphere to gain confidence. Ski instructors speak excellent English and have been working with beginners for many years to assure professional service at all times. Intermediates There are two skiing areas, the north-facing Vestlia and new Kikut area, and the south-facing main ski area immediately behind the village, which has around 75% of the total skiing. Both areas are linked by a free ski bus in the mornings and afternoons. Many of the runs are wide and uncrowded cruising runs on the huge snow-fields above the tree line, ideal for improving your technique. There is also a variety of runs down to the village through the trees.
