Lillehammer
Home to the 50 Degrees North Norwegian office
Lillehammer in Norway, the host for the Winter 1994 Olympics and soon for the Winter 2016 Youth Olympics, and the home of our 50 Degrees North office in Norway, is a dream destination for any outdoor lover. Five family-friendly ski resorts and hundreds of kilometers of cross-country skiing tracks that take you off the beaten path, if you want so, and guarantee that there is always something active to do in this region in the winter.
And once you know the tracks around town, it is only couple of hours drive to the national parks of Jotunheimen or Rondane, where the possibilities for a quick day trip or multi-day “cabin to cabin” ski adventure in the wilderness are endless. What’s best though is that there are so many activities where you can take the kids along, whether it is skiing, sledding or just passing the day by building snowmen until enjoying a cup of hot chocolate in a cozy mountain or town cafe.
