Travel by bus to the mountains
Sit back and let someone else do the driving. Bus and coach services can take you directly to some SkiStar resorts or provide an easy connection from airports and major cities.
Bus and coach travel for your ski holiday
Bus travel can be a convenient way to reach the mountains without hiring a car. Some services travel directly to the ski resorts, while others provide an easy onward connection from a major city or airport.
Bus to ski resorts in Norway
Trysil is particularly easy to reach by bus from Oslo. Trysilekspressen runs throughout the year between Oslo Bus Terminal, Oslo Airport Gardermoen, Elverum and Trysil, continuing up to the mountain during winter. This makes it easy to travel by bus to Trysil after flying into Oslo.
You can also travel by bus to Hemsedal from Oslo. Express buses run throughout the year, and some services also connect with Oslo Airport.
Bus to ski resorts in Sweden
Seasonal coach services operate from Swedish cities to Sälen, making it possible to travel by bus to Sälen without a car.
From Stockholm, Härjedalingen provides an express coach connection for those who want to travel by bus to Vemdalen.
Combine flying with bus or transfer
For international visitors, bus travel is often most useful for the final part of the journey. From Oslo Airport you can continue towards Trysil and Hemsedal, while Scandinavian Mountains Airport has pre-booked bus transfers to Sälen and Trysil.
When train or air travel is easier
For Åre, travelling by train to the mountains is usually more convenient because the railway station is in the resort itself. For longer international journeys, it is also worth comparing the bus with flying to the mountains.
Good to know when travelling by bus
- Ski equipment: check the operator's rules for skis, snowboards and other luggage before booking.
- Seasonal services: some direct coaches to the mountains only operate during parts of the winter season.
- Bus stop: check where the bus stops at the resort and how you will get from there to your accommodation.
Ski buses at the resort
At several SkiStar resorts, SkiStar Bus connects accommodation, ski areas and resort centres during winter. This can make it easy to enjoy your ski holiday without having your own car.
