The region of Lillehammer can be found in the Gudbrandsdalen Valley of Eastern Norway, just a two-hour drive from Oslo. It’s famous for hosting the 1994 Olympic Winter Games and being featured in the Netflix series Lilyhammer.
Lillehammer has been designated a Sustainable Destination, which recognises its efforts to minimise the negative impact of tourism. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, and Norway’s largest lake, it’s an excellent destination for outdoor enthusiasts. You can enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and rafting in the summer. When winter arrives, the slopes become covered in snow, and cross-country tracks are prepared for skiing. Many Olympic arenas are still open to the public, where you can even try bobsledding! For foodies, there are many local delicacies to try, and cultural centres like Maihaugen provide a glimpse into the region’s history. Families travelling with children should take advantage of the Hunderfossen Family Park, offering kids plenty of fun and entertainment.
