COMPLETE TRAVEL GUIDE
How to get from Trondheim Airport Værnes to Oppdal
Trondheim Airport to Oppdal heads south through the Trondheim and Dovre railway corridor. The airport station makes rail a useful starting point, but Oppdal’s railway station is in town rather than at all four ski sectors. Vangslia, Stølen, Hovden and Ådalen have different access points. A train-and-local-ride combination suits a daytime arrival when onward transport is arranged; a road transfer can go to the accommodation directly. Allow for airport collection time, the Trondheim interchange and the final ski-base journey.
Confirm which of the four ski sectors is closest to the accommodation. An Oppdal station ticket leaves the final local journey unfinished.

Oppdal spreads its skiing across Vangslia, Stølen, Hovden and Ådalen. A town-centre room is convenient for rail arrival, while a sector-side property changes the daily journey to lessons and lifts. Decide on the main ski base before arranging the station pickup. The visitor guide’s run and lift counts describe the ski centre rather than the number guaranteed to be open each day.
Which ski area should you choose?
Vangslia
A main base for resort skiing and family facilities. Confirm rentals and lesson departure here.
Stølen
A separate access north of the town. Accommodation here needs a different station drop-off.
Hovden and Ådalen
Other sectors of the four-mountain ski centre. Check lift operation and the planned return route.
Piste difficulty: Beginner and intermediate opportunities coexist with more demanding mountain skiing. Choose the appropriate sector and marked runs for the group; exposed terrain and off-piste travel need separate assessment.
After the transfer: Confirm which of the four ski sectors is closest to the accommodation. An Oppdal station ticket leaves the final local journey unfinished.
