Norwegian Ski Train Gets New Paint Job

A ski train service between Norway's capital Oslo and the ski resort of Kvitfjell has had a new ski and snow themed branding to its exterior.
The train is now covered with ski and mountain scenes, as well as a picture of Norway's famous downhill ski racer Aleksander Aamodt Kilde.
The train service runs daily from Oslo with connections from other Norwegian cities through the ski season.
On arrival at Kvitfjell its possible to take a ski lift from by the station and at busier times including weekends additional shuttle bus services are laid on to other base lifts at the heart of the ski area.
The station lies at the bottom of the World Cup Olympic downhill race piste built for the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics – it's possible to ski back to the station but you do have to ski down the black-graded Olympic downhill to do so.
Travel times from Oslo to Kvitfjell station are from 2 hours and 45 minutes. From Oslo Airport it is 2 hours and 15 minutes (it is also possible to take the train from the UK and most other parts of Europe and Asia to Oslo). The connection from Trondheim to Kvitfjell station is just under four hours.
