This is one of the more luxurious of the several hotels positioned on the ski slopes around Lillehammer, with an isolated hillside location that allows residents to ski from the hotel's front door to the ski lifts, and then ski back to the hotel from the upper reaches of the surrounding slopes. The hotel is only a few minutes away from the Gålå Høgfjellshoteel, with identical access to hiking and cross-country trails. If faced with a choice between the two, we'd choose the Gålå for its superior cuisine.
Cozy and rustic, with a sports-conscious clientele that often drives from as far away as Oslo for weekend getaways, the Wadahl was originally established in 1900 as a survival station for the high mountains around it. It was transformed into a resort hotel in 1930 and has been enlarged several times, most recently in 1999 but with minor refurbishments post-millennium. Rooms are comfortably furnished and modern-looking, each with an immaculately kept bathroom. Midwinter and midsummer are equally desirable high seasons here, and unlike most other urban hotels in Norway, weekend visits are more, rather than less, expensive than weekdays.
