Pellestova Hotel ØYER, NORWAY


Situated 3,215ft above sea level on Hafelltoppen in Eastern Norway, Pellestova Hotel offers a mountaintop escape just 15 minutes from popular ski resort Hafell Alpine Centre and 25 minutes from the Olympic town of Lillehammer. The local area is known for its natural beauty, with expansive views across the Gudbrandsdalen valley and a vast network of cross-country trails starting right at the hotel’s doorstep. In winter, the trails are groomed daily and connect to hundreds of miles of scenic routes, including parts of the Olympic trail network used in 1994. During summer and autumn, these trails transform into peaceful hiking and biking routes with panoramic viewpoints and plentiful opportunities for spotting wild reindeer, grouse and moose. Pellestova has a long tradition of hosting


Norwegian outdoor enthusiasts. Today, the hotel blends traditional Norwegian mountain lodge character with contemporary comfort, featuring newly renovated rooms, several elegant common areas with fireplaces and spaces ideal for both relaxation and remote work.


Culinary experiences are a central part of


the stay. Dining options include The Restaurant, offering refined a la carte dining inspired by local ingredients, and Slakteriet Restaurant, known for its Nordic tasting menus of up to 12 courses. These menus focus on storytelling through food and wine, celebrating the region’s game, berries and traditions. For more casual dining, the in-house pizzeria Pellekroa serves artisan pizzas with stunning views across the peaks. The trail from Pellestova to the small mountain


lake Malmtjønn is a local favourite — ideal for a peaceful hike year-round. In summer, it’s a perfect spot for a picnic, while in winter it offers a serene snow-covered landscape for snowshoeing. For those wanting a cultural excursion, the Maihaugen open- air museum in nearby Lillehammer showcases more than 200 historic buildings and offers a rich glimpse into traditional Norwegian life. Whether under a blanket of snow or bathed in


the golden light of late summer, Pellestova offers a year-round mountain experience where nature, food and calm coexist.
