Free time activities

There are various options

  • Alpine skiing in the 1994 Olympic slopes. Ski rental is possible at Gaiastova, ca 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Access to the slope directly from Ilsetra. Lifts take you to a point where you can ski back down to Ilsetra.

  • Cross-country skiing. One of the best areas in Norway with prepared tracks for hundreds of kilometers, starting just outside the door of Ilsetra

  • Skiing is not obligatory, one can go for a walk, work alone or form groups, play cards, sing a song or whatever one prefers

What to bring

  • It may be rather cold up there, say 0 to -15 degrees, so bring warm clothes if you are interested in outdoor activities. Also bring winter shoes/boots. Note also that you need to walk 50-100 meters between the apartment and the lecture room and restaurant.

  • You may bring your own skiing equipment, but it can also be rented

  • There will be no events that require any kind of formal wear

Registration

  • We need a relatively strong commitment for participation before October 25 because of the booking of apartments. The cost of apartment and full board is estimated to be NOK 5800 for the whole duration for 1 person. You will receive a link to a google form by email for registration of interest.
