Svanen is a pet-friendly family cabin with a thatched roof in peaceful Svaenlia at Budor, sleeping up to eight. The sledding hill, just 15 meters from the door, takes you on skis straight to the downhill slopes and cross-country trails—no car needed. After your outing, relax in the sauna in the annex and by the fireplace in the living room. It’s 1.5 hours from Oslo and 1 hour from Gardermoen.
What makes the Nordic Swan unique?
This is where you park your car when you arrive and leave it there. The toboggan run, 15 meters from the cabin, takes you down to the downhill slope on skis, and you can also reach the cross-country trails without driving.
The sauna awaits you in the annex—perfect for warming up after a day outdoors. Your dog is just as welcome as the rest of your party.
The living room has high ceilings, large windows, and a fireplace, and the dining table is positioned under the windows with a view of the hillside. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a microwave, and fiber-optic Wi-Fi makes it easy to work an extra day.

Who is the Swan suitable for?
Families and groups of friends of up to eight people who want a quiet base in the mountains—preferably with their dog in tow. The two family cabins make Svanen a particularly great choice for two families with children traveling together.
And for those of you who want to hit the slopes early: You can strap on your skis right at the cabin and take the toboggan run straight down to the ski slope. The hiking trails start right nearby—in both winter and summer.
Budor – 1.5 hours from Oslo · 1 hour from Gardermoen
Budor is a mountain destination with snow-sure winters and 300 kilometers of cross-country trails—and from Svanen in Svaenlia, you can ski directly to both the cross-country trails and the Budor ski resort via the toboggan run, without having to get in the car. The ski resort features downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and a toboggan run. In the summer, Koiedalen opens with a swimming area, a shelter, and a nature trail, and the Rondane Trail begins nearby. The guesthouse Budor is also nearby.
