Gaustablikk sits at the foot of Gaustatoppen in the Telemark region of Norway, one of the country's most celebrated ski destinations. The resort's ski-in, ski-out configuration means the slopes are accessible directly from the property — no shuttle, no waiting. The surrounding terrain suits a range of abilities, and the mountain's relatively uncrowded character is a draw for those seeking a quieter alternative to the major Alpine resorts. The nearest town of Rjukan is a short drive away and provides additional dining and local services. For international travellers, the package includes direct flights and private transfers, removing the usual friction of Norwegian mountain travel and ensuring a smooth arrival regardless of conditions.

Ski beneath the iconic Gaustatoppen in Telemark's premier alpine destination.
Gausta, located in the majestic Telemark region of Norway, is a captivating ski destination nestled at the foot of Gaustatoppen, often called Norway's most beautiful mountain. The resort offers a blend of spectacular scenery, rich history, and a deeply welcoming atmosphere, making it a standout choice for winter enthusiasts. The main ski area, Gausta Skisenter, features a wide variety of terrain that is particularly well-suited for families, beginners, and intermediate skiers. Alongside perfectly groomed, uncrowded pistes, the resort provides access to an extensive cross-country skiing network across the surrounding plateau and a dedicated snowpark for freestyle progression. For the truly adventurous, the unique Gaustabanen—a Cold War-era funicular railway built deep inside the mountain—provides access to the towering 1,883-meter peak of Gaustatoppen. From the summit, expert skiers can experience thrilling, lift-accessed off-piste descents with breathtaking views that stretch across a sixth of Norway on a clear day.
Gausta offers 35 kilometers of wide, perfectly groomed pistes spread across multiple interconnected areas, providing excellent cruising terrain. While the main resort caters primarily to beginners and intermediates, expert freeriders can tackle the legendary off-piste couloirs and bowls from the summit of Gaustatoppen.
