Geilo Travelling from Sandefjord to Geilo, Norway
Posted: Wed November 16, 2005 10:34 AM UTC
What is the best way to get to Geilo from Torp airport without a car? Is it possible to get to Geilo without taking a train to Oslo?

Secondly, what is the easiest way to get to Oslo from Geilo?

We are trying to plan a short ski trip to Geilo, and will be travelling with a child. Thanks so much!

I only have the answer to your second question, I'm afraid:
Geilo - Oslo, around four hours by train. See www.nsb.no

If you book online, and well ahead, you could get the "Minipris" ticket at NOK 199 each (regular adult ticket: NOK 400) (If the "minipris" ticket is available (limited number of seats on selected departures only) you'll get "Minipris" as an option when choosing "ticket group"..:o)

Take the train. You might save some time getting off the train at Drammen and get on the Torp airport express from there. Saving you the last 45 min. on the train from Drammen to Oslo, and the same with the bus from Oslo back to Drammen.

I would take the bus to the nearest train-station to Torp. That would be Sandefjord I guess? Both trains stop at Drammen, so no need to go all the way to Oslo
