Active holidays

Norway has opportunities for everyone. It is the perfect country for an active holiday. Norway is ideal for skiing, and the snow conditions are always good in the mountains in wintertime. During the summer the same mountains are a hikers’ and bikers’ paradise. Staying on a farm and taking part in the day-to-day life there is highly recommended. Other enjoyable activities are game hunting, climbing, playing golf and fishing, both in inland rivers packed with salmon, and at sea, where cod is the most common fish. Imagine taking a golf vacation in the north of Norway during the summer, when the sun never sets.

And after you have tried all these activities, there is still a whole new world to explore. Norwegian history and culture, with its Vikings, stave churches, fjords and farms dating from the Middle Ages, are definitely worth exploring, and so is the traditional Saami way of life.
