Like the legendary Norwegian ski hero it's named after, this slope-side lodge is perfectly groomed, timelessly gracious, and uniquely charming. Massive stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and natural woodwork in the main lodge combine with in-room fireplaces, imported European fabrics, and heavy wood furniture to create an old-world Norwegian atmosphere. The service and facilities are impeccable, right down to the heated sidewalks and bell staff who light your in-room fire for you. All rooms have oversize whirlpool baths and many have deck hot tubs and in-room steam showers. A full-service Norwegian spa will pamper you after a hard day on the slopes. Pros: It's where the rich and famous stay without fear of being mobbed by fans. Cons: Expect to spend a pretty penny here.
