Meals and drinks

Meals are served as a buffet, with dietary restrictions labelled (e.g. vegan/vegetarian, and the allergens eggs, peanuts, soy, milk/lactose, nuts, gluten, mustard and sesame).
Juice is served at breakfast. The tap water is safe to drink and of excellent quality.
Meal times: breakfast 09.00 to 10.00, lunch 13.00 to 14.00, dinner 18.00 to 19.00. Please plan your programme around these unless we have agreed otherwise.
Arrival, departure and transport
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Rooms are available for check-in from 15:00, and check-out is at 11:00. Guests can drop in for lunch on arrival day, but please ask them to email post@nosenyoga.no in advance so we have enough and can put it on your bill. Lunch is included on departure day, so you and your retreat are welcome to stay after check-out. Luggage can be stored in the hallway. Late check-out costs extra.
What if guests have room changes or updates?
Send individual changes and wishes to post@nosenyoga.no.
How should guests arrange transport?
Guests arriving by public transport must book their pickup time (at Fagernes or Gol) in advance via post@nosenyoga.no. For urgent updates, contact reception on +47 484 22 888. On the day of travel we can give you the driver's direct number.

Outdoor activities
We can help organise group activities: in winter skiing, snowmobiling or dog-sledding trips, in summer our volunteers can take your group hiking in the mountains, or you can rent our canoes or SUP boards and paddle on the lake. We can also arrange fishing and horse riding. If you have any special wishes, we can certainly help arrange them.
Prices for other activities vary with duration and type of activity.
