Hiking

Norway is a hiker's paradise. With its rugged terrain, towering peaks, and pristine wilderness, you'll find a range of hiking trails to suit every level of expertise.

For those seeking a real challenge, conquer the iconic Besseggen Ridge for stunning vistas over the Jotunheimen National Park.

Skiing and Snowboarding

For the winter adrenaline rush, Norway boasts world-class skiing and snowboarding destinations. Head to Lillehammer, where you can tackle the slopes used during the 1994 Winter Olympics. Alternatively, explore the pristine mountains of Hemsedal or Geilo. If you're a true daredevil, venture to Tromsø Alpine park, where you can ski and snowboard under the magical Northern Lights.

Ice Climbing

Norway's icy landscapes offer a unique opportunity for ice climbing enthusiasts. Rjukan, located in the Telemark region, is a mecca for ice climbers with its countless frozen waterfalls. Experienced climbers can take on challenges like the Rjukanfossen and the Rjukan Hydnefossen, making it an exhilarating experience.

White Water Rafting

Get your adrenaline pumping as you navigate Norway's roaring rivers through white water rafting. Voss, a small town known for its adventure sports, is the perfect base for this activity. You can tackle the frothy rapids of the Stranda and Raundal rivers, ensuring an adrenaline-packed day on the water.

Bungy Jumping

Feel the rush of freefall as you leap from incredible heights while bungy jumping in Norway. The country offers several iconic spots for this thrilling activity, including the Voss Gondola, where you can take the plunge from a platform high above the pristine Norwegian landscape.

For mountain biking enthusiasts, Norway offers numerous challenging trails. The Rallarvegen route, running through the stunning Hardangervidda plateau, provides bikers with a mix of terrain from rocky paths to gravel roads. If downhill biking is your passion, check out Hafjell Bike Park, with numerous tracks suitable for all skill levels.
