This resort is the preferred choice in the area, a luxurious hotel combined with a historic core, making for some old-fashioned nostalgia wedded to elegance and modern comfort. There's more of a sense of the 19th-century Norwegian nationalist style scattered around this hotel than there is in other hotels nearby. Its architectural style derives from its origins around 1870 as a high-altitude sanatorium for tuberculosis patients and its transformation in the 1890s, into a hotel. Another part of its allure is its location -- within a short walk of the ski lifts, and easily accessible from the slopes on skis. Accommodations are nostalgically furnished in a rustic, old-fashioned style, and much about this place evokes a skier's and hiker's boutique hotel. Its Mor Aases Restaurant is the best in the area, with freshly caught organic trout from Lake Gålå, seasonal game, and fresh berries and herbs.
Despite its relatively intimate size, the hotel functions as a manager and rental agent for about 130 self-catering cabins, suitable for between 6 and 10 occupants, scattered throughout the nearby district. Each has a kitchen, and amenities range from bare-boned to relatively plush. They're favored by families and extended groups of friends traveling together. Depending on the season and their size, they cost NOK3,475 to NOK18,735 ($695-$3,747/£348-£1,874) per week without meals or services.
