The arrival day, with bus transportation from Oslo airport Gardermoen to Spåtind will be Friday 4 January 2002. In order to catch the conference buses, you should choose a flight which arrives at Oslo airport at the latest at 2:00 pm. Estimated duration of the bus drive is a little less than three hours.
Bus transportation from the hotel to the airport will take place on Thursday 10 January 2002. When booking the return flight, you can assume that the bus will be at the airport at 1 pm.
If you are not coming with the conference bus, please notice that there is a 'flybuss', that departs once every or every other hour (depending on the time of the day), from Oslo airport to Gjøvik. Gjøvik is located 60 km southeast of Synnseter where the Spåtind hotel is. It may also be possible to get by public transportation to Dokka, which is 35 km south of Synnseter. From Gjøvik (or Dokka) you could try to get a taxi, if you can afford it. A better method is to call the hotel and agree on a private transportation - in one known case the charge was roughly 300 NOK. However, non-local participants are strongly advised to arrange the travel in such a way that you will be able to use the standard conference bus.
There is no fee for the bus transportation. The conference fee (not for invited speakers) is NOK 600, and will be collected upon arrival. Please make sure to have Norwegian currency. Participants should pay the accommodation, which includes full board and lodging, directly to the hotel during the conference. Prices are NOK 780/night in a single room, NOK 690/night in a shared double room, NOK 1380/night for a double room for two persons. For 4-13 year old children the charge is 50 %. Major credit cards are accepted.
