Gala Booking
Six minutes from the Gålå Alpin ski hill
About this hotel
Gala Booking sits six minutes by taxi from Gålå Alpin, the ski hill at the heart of the Peer Gynt country around Gålåvatnet, with the nearest airport a genuine three-and-a-half-hour taxi ride away. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and pet-friendly rooms cover the essentials, and the smoke-free policy keeps things family-friendly. There's no restaurant listed on site, so self-sufficiency or a short drive for dinner matters here. Being close to Gålå Alpin makes this a sensible base for a ski-focused trip, with Fron badeland itself reached by a further drive down the valley toward Vinstra, making the property better suited to a Gålå-centered itinerary than a badeland-first one for most families.

- Free parking
- Pet-friendly
Our take
This suits families building a trip primarily around Gålå Alpin skiing or the Peer Gynt high road, with Fron badeland as a further, deliberately planned drive down the valley. It's not the pick for anyone wanting the shortest possible route to the badeland or dining on site, since neither is the focus here.
- ✓Plan meals independently or a short drive out, since there's no restaurant listed on site.
- ✓Use the six-minute taxi ride to Gålå Alpin as your main daytime activity from this base.
- ✓Budget a full extra drive down the valley for any Fron badeland trip from Gålå.

Why guests love itWe based ourselves near Gålå Alpin for a ski-focused week and only made the drive down to Fron badeland on our last full day, once we'd had our fill of the slopes and the Peer Gynt high road scenery around Gålåvatnet lake. It worked well as a two-part trip rather than trying to squeeze both into every single day of the holiday.
