Dating back to the mid-1440s, the Nermo Hotell & Apartments originally constituted a modest guesthouse for people seeking adventure out into the nearby valleys of Gudbrandsdalen and Østerdalen. This quaint tavern spent many years within the confines of a potato and grain farm! The Nermo family eventually purchased the estate during the 19th century, converting the location into a popular hotel. By 2001, the entire hotel was renovated and expanded to include 53 unique apartments for long-term travelers. The beautiful Hafjell Golf Course was also built on the site of the former potato and grain field around the same time. Nermo Hotell & Apartments is now currently among the most sought after destinations for outdoor enthusiasts interested in exploring the world-class ski slopes that proliferate throughout the region.
