Lillehammer

Surrounded by five ski resorts, Lillehammer, site of the 1994 winter Olympics, is the nation’s go-to place for outdoor activities and winter sports. Activities on offer include skiing (both downhill and cross-country), cycling, horseback riding, or hiking in the Rondane mountains or Jotunheimen and Langsua national parks.

The town itself has a small but vibrant artistic community, showcasing original works in small shops and galleries.

For children, the Hunderfossen Family Park even offers the opportunity to see a real-life troll!
