3 Bedroom Luxury Villa, Norway

The apartment is located adjacent to the historic Dr. Holms Hotel, which first opened its doors in 1909. Doctor and hotel director Ingebrikt C. Holm inaugurated the hotel on the very same day that King Haakon officially opened the Bergen Railway. Dr. Holm, a specialist in respiratory diseases, aimed to heal patients through the fresh “champagne air” and the beauty of the surrounding mountains. More than a hundred years later, Geilo remains one of Norway’s most popular mountain destinations. Many holiday homeowners still use the Bergen Railway as their preferred mode of transport. By car, the journey takes just over three hours from both Oslo and Bergen. Its central location between Norway’s two largest cities has made Geilo a sought after holiday destination. Geilo lies at the foot of two national parks and is a paradise for outdoor activities in both summer and winter. In addition to its wild and stunning natural surroundings, Geilo is considered one of Norway’s most complete travel and ski destinations. It was recently voted Norway’s Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards for the sixth consecutive year. The village offers a wide range of services and amenities, all centrally located and easily accessible. Geilo boasts an extensive network of cross country trails and is a haven for skiing enthusiasts. With miles of groomed tracks, visitors can choose between high mountain tours, sheltered forest trails, or illuminated evening routes. The alpine ski resorts also offer slopes suitable for all ages, where multiple generations can enjoy the mountain together. SkiGeilo operates on both sides of the village, and frequent ski bus departures make it easy to explore different areas. The resort features wide, safe runs, fun children’s areas, terrain parks, and funslopes. There are also cozy and inviting dining venues offering something for every palate. But the appeal of Kikut and Geilo extends far beyond winter sports. During spring, summer, and autumn, the landscape is equally beautiful, and hiking is a favorite activity for many. You can bring your fishing rod and try your luck, or take a refreshing dip in one of the nearby mountain lakes. For those seeking more adrenaline fueled experiences, Geilo offers a zipline park, a high ropes course, and various biking options including terrain trails, downhill tracks, pump tracks, and family friendly cycling paths. Geilo also features a charming town center with a variety of shops catering to both adults and children. At the heart of the village is Geilo Station, just a short walk from the apartment.
