My experience of Inntravel lived up to its expectations of excellent organisation and friendly service. Despite the fact that we only booked the trip one week beforehand, everything was efficiently emailed to me and it all worked!
The Hindsaeter Hotel was a very good base for cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing and also provided some fun extra activities: ice-canyon adventure (more adventurous than expected!), candlelit sledding down the hill behind the hotel and snow-shoe trekking through the woods by starlight! We also loved the husky-sledding trip. Carola, Andre and their staff are keen to provide great service and are always happy to give guidance. Set on a south-facing slope, the hotel's sunny balcony was popular in the afternoons, as was the (very reasonable) spa area. The hotel is rightly renowned for its amazing evening meals - fantastic local food, beautifully presented. Remember to save up if you want to add local cider, beer or wine though!
Overall great holiday with slick arrangements, helped by Nordic precision eg train running exactly on time. The stay in Hindsaeter was excellent, the evening dinner alone is worth going for.....we are real foodies and without exaggeration would rate the dinners as some of the best we have ever had. We were blessed with sunshine and snow. It is not a location for beginners skiing, however the walking is spectacular, once you become accustomed to the fact you have the right to roam so can literally go anyway if you are lucky there will be a set of snow shoe tracks to follow. Very peaceful.
Hindsaeter is set in the beautiful, quiet Sjoa valley with magnificent views.It's worth being up early to see the sunrise hit the mountains, the colours are amazing. The night walk, on a cloudless, moonless night showed the sky and Milky Way in all it's glory, and, with Karola's commentary, well worth going out for. The ice canyon walk can be strenuous in parts but there's plenty of help and it's great fun sliding like a child. Expert guidance meant I felt pefectly safe [especially as I am no spring chicken!] and, of course, it's beautiful. If like me your skiing is pre-novice level the snow shoe walks are many and varied with height and difficulty to suit. Karola and Andre, from hello to goodbye, cannot do enough to make your stay all you want. The atmosphere is that of a home and family with the staff a very happy, helpful group.The food lovingly provided by Andre's kitchen is consistently excellent,both in taste and presentation, wonderfully complemented by Karola's deep knowledge of local craft beers. Definitely not to be missed is the opportunity to drive/ride a dog sled at the nearby Sjodalen Hyttetun and don't miss their hot chocolate. Also not to be missed is the sledge race, great fun whatever your age.

A really excellent holiday again at Hindsaeter. The meals were good in previous years, but have probably got even better. A very relaxed and friendly hotel, with a choice of really good snowshoeing routes from the door. We hope to return next winter.
very friendly hotel with amazing norwegian food
beautiful views from bedroom and library which was a lovely place to relax at end of day
good quality ski kit with very comfy boots and no blisters
we were surprised (and saddened) that with climate change the snow had only just arrived- it was perfect for us and we were able to check which trails had just been made each morning
The location of this holiday was certainly miles away from everyday hustle and bustle. It was so nice to have time to relax but still enjoy the activities on offer, with the equipment available to us throughout the week. Each day just disappeared so quickly. The snow covered scenery was spectacular with a mixture of mountains, open hillsides, forest and river and we were lucky enough to see moose and dippers, otter tracks and Siberian jays. The ice canyoning was great fun and being able to experience frozen waterfalls and ice slides was one of the best activities on offer. The guides were especially knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed the snow shoe treks and the night walk. Unfortunately we didn’t see the Northern Lights so a very good excuse to make a return trip. The travel arrangements were easy to follow although we missed out on the full train trip on our outward journey by a freight derailment the previous evening. Luckily we had spectacular weather for the return rail journey at the end of the holiday. The hotel and the staff were good; the standard of food exceptionally high and being able to have a flask filled and the chance to make up a packed lunch from the breakfast buffet was ideal as there was nowhere to buy additional provisions. Overall, a most enjoyable holiday and despite Norway going into lockdown the evening before our homeward departure due to Coronavirus, arrangements went according to plan. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Magical holiday - perfect in every way, except a day short. Highlights included stunning ice canyoning, a starlit snowshoe walk and outstanding food from the local area, creatively presented - a gourmet treat. Extensive interesting beer and wine cellar with nightly recommendations to complement the menu. The hotel is small, family run and friendly with great staff. Log fires and comfotably seating with great views make it a "hyggelig" place to stay and enjoy a special week. We would not hesitate to recommend the Hindsaeter Hotel to future travellers.
Recommend this holiday to those who love the winter outdoors without being an expert skier. Scenery fantastic. Hotel very friendly and welcoming, food outstanding.
One of the best trips I've had in a long time! The guided tours were very interesting and varied, and outside of the tours there was plenty of time to explore the surrounding landscape by snowshoe or ski. The four-course dinner each night was fantastic and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The ice canyoning was a particular highlight, and the optional extra dogsledding was also fantastic with breathtaking views. As a complete beginner on skis, most of the ski trails were beyond my ability level, so I would recommend at least some previous experience on either alpine or cross-country skis. However, I still had a lot of fun, and the guide gave me extra support and guidance, so don't be put off if you've never skiied before.
