Practical Information

Welcome to Norrøna Canvas Telemark. Thanks for booking with us. The following page will give you important information about your stay. Please remember to check in via the link under.

We need your info!

REMEBER TO FILL OUT THE CHECK-IN FORM MINIMUM 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE!

You will need to fill out one form pr person. If you are responsible for a group, please forward the form to everyone in your group, or fill out the form on their behalf.

In the form you will be asked if you want to rent a bike. We only rent out electrical full suspension bikes. If you choose to bring your own, we only reccomend full suspension mountain bikes.

The gravel road leading to the hotel is 15 km long and takes about half an hour to drive to the parking area. Due to the impact of traffic on the road, there are designated entry times for hotel guests. When you reach the gravel road, stop at the turnout to the right just after the intersection and wait to enter at every half and full hour between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM.

Drive together and adhere to the speed limit!

Please send an SMS or call us with your name and the number of luggage pieces to be picked up when you turn off from the asphalt road. Dial +4793086155 (Thomas).

Cross the asphalt to gravel road at the sign for the shooting range and follow the road for 6.5 km to Onstad farm (NB: Maintain the speed limit on the gravel road!).

Pay the road toll 50 meters after the farmyard at Onstad farm or at the hotel. Turn right at the bottom of the hill 500 meters after Onstad farm. After 5.5 km from Onstad farm, you will see a road branching off to the left, blocked by a barrier. Continue straight ahead for 500 meters and turn left at the next intersection. Park on the left side at the sign for parking canvas hotel, 2.5 km after the intersection.

From the north, via E134 or from Gautefall, use Google Maps and search for "Skarkemyra, Nissdal" as mentioned above. Call +4793086155 (Thomas) when you exit at Heimdal for details about the barrier and the key code. (We primarily do not want guests to arrive via this route except for those coming from E134 from the Vestlandet or Notodden/Kongsberg.)

Directions

Canvas Telemark is located in the highlands, in an isolated area 7 km from the nearest village. The hotel can not be accessed via vehicle, but you can park where the road ends and cycle or walk in. A host from Canvas Hotel will meet you when you park to help with your luggage so you can freely walk the path that takes about half an hour's walk (about 2 km) to the camp.

"The idea is that you should put aside the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the car park, and have plenty of time to get in touch with nature before you check in," shares Thomas.

We want to encourage travels to choose eco-friendly transport. Please contact us for recommendations! Groups are encouraged to rent a bus or take the train to Gjerstad and a bus from there.

For navigation, use Google Maps only! Follow this link.
