This hostel really feels like what it is - a former prison. Dorm beds are in cells, with heavy
iron doors, thick walls, concrete floors, and steel lockers for closets. The shower and toilet
facilities are somewhat limited, so it's worth asking if a room with a bathroom is available.
The place is extremely friendly though, and common areas are spacious and full of well-
worn, denlike furniture. There's a back deck in summer.

This long, thin campground is 2km northeast of town, in the skiing and sports area. Amen-
ities are good: crazy golf, boules and a nearby outdoor swimming pool will keep kids
amused.

This large, modern building stands out a mile with its ski-jump design. It has something of
a college-dorm feel and heaps of facilities, including a restaurant, a bar and even a bowling
hall in the basement. Steep summer and weekend discounts make it a smoking deal. The
hotel is about 2km east of the centre off E16, close to Lugnet.
