Snow Adventure Vatnahalsen

Your snow adventure includes

A mountain guide will meet you at Vatnahalsen train station and take you the short 2-minute walk up to the hotel. Here you will have an amazing panoramic view overlooking the breath-taking Flåm valley, ready to conquer the deep powder snow as you put on your snowshoes. During the day you can go sledging with old or new friends at the hotel's own ski slope or challenge your fellow travellers during a snowball competition. The guide will keep you warm serving you traditional 'Gløgg' hot puch as you explore other fun snow activities. To keep your energy level at high boost, a delicious lunch is of course included and served at Vatnehalsen Hotel.

If you feel extending your snow-shoe hike we can facilitate this upon request, ask your guide.

Nature at its best - Vatnahalsen

The hotel's guest books from the 1930s reveal how Norwegian, British, German and Dutch skiers enjoyed their stay. Because of the steep mountains and the arrival by train, many of them called it the Nordic St. Moritz. For several decades, winter was the most important season.

Be prepared for the occasion

December, January and February are the winter months. In December, we celebrate Christmas and the whole month is mostly devoted to preparing for Christmas festivities. The weather in December is usually not as stable as January and February, which are the proper winter months, with sparkling snow and freezing temperatures. This is a beautiful time of year, with a bluish light, snow-clad mountains and frozen waterfalls. All you need is need warm clothing for a ski trip or for playing in the snow.

How to get to Vatnahalsen?

The spectacular Flåm Railway is your only choice getting to Vatnahalsen as the popular Rallar Road passing by is closed during the winter period. If you plan to travel forth and back from Flåm, book a return ticket.
