Ranten Hotell Best Western Signature Collection

This is a great place to come for skiing in the winter if you like cross country and want a small downhill slope right outside your door. We come every year for three-four days when our daughters have their winter break. The downhill slope is perfect for beginners, and if you don't need a bigger slope, you won't need to start your car during your stay. The hotel has a low key, sporty atmosphere, staff is friendly, the meals great because of the mountain appetite you work up (don't expect gourmet cooking) and the common areas very welcoming. The tiny pool is often enjoyed by kids after a day of skiing or when the occasional snow storm hits. The rooms are small and the bathrooms smaller. But everything is clean and the beds are ok. The heating in the bathroom floor was not working in one of our rooms this time. Hope they'll fix it for next time:) Consider cross country skiing, or walking during summer season, a couple of miles over to Fagerhoy Fjellstue to have lunch or dinner there one day during your stay. We'll go back to Ranten next February.

Wonderful staff and great views. Dining options are limited and expensive.

Good service, amazing location with a beautiful views. This is a great spot for hiking, skiing, fishing and it’s located only 2 hrs from Oslo. The food was great and amazing surroundings. Definitely worth a weekend trip. Absolutely a hidden gem worth visiting. .
