Lillehammer
is located at the northern end of Norway's largest lake, Lake Mjøsa,
and is considered to be Norway's oldest winter sport destination. The
Olympic
Winter Games in 1994 once again put the Lillehammer region on
the international winter travel itinerary.
Today, Lillehammer provides visitors with a combination of cherished traditions
and modern attractions, with a host of popular museums, galleries, Olympic
facilities, exquisite restaurants and excellent shopping. In addition to a
wealth of music and theatrical events throughout the year, there is a wide
range of festivals and sporting events that attract visitors from around the
world and bring colour and spice to the downtown area.
The Lillehammer region is famous for the spectacular local ski terrain and
the many local winter sports activities. Close proximity to Northern Europe's
best cross-country mountains at Nordseter/Sjusjøen, with 350 km of ski
trails and the short distance to the Hafjell Alpine Centre, makes the region
an exciting and all-round travel destination. |
 | The distance to and from
the international airport at Gardermoen is only 2 hours by car. Nordseter
and Sjusjøen were originally mountain farm communities, which - with
their easily accessible forest and mountain terrain - have developed into
one of Northern Europe’s best skiing destinations. The mountains are
850 metres above sea level and only 15-20 km from the centre of Lillehammer.
The area offers a wide range of skiing alternatives, including approx. 350
km. of prepared cross-country trails. The tracks run all the way to Lillehammer
and Øyer, and even connect up with the Olympic tracks at the Birkebeineren
Ski Stadium. You can ski in both forested and mountain terrain, and all the
trails are clearly sign posted.
At critical crossroads, directional signs have been set up indicating the distance
in kilometres to various destinations. We recommend that you purchase a ski
map, and examine the touring alternatives that are described in available brochure
material. We also recommend taking a ski trip from the mountains and down to
Lillehammer - about 15km on slightly downhill trails starting in high mountain
scenery and ending up in the middle of town. You can take a bus from the city
and up to the mountains either at the start of your trip or at the end. |
 | The excellent cross-country trails
at and around the stadium are suitable for both adults and children. The
5-km-long lighted trail is popular all winter, and is lit up until 22.00hrs
every evening. The Birkebeineren
Ski Stadium is the ideal starting point
for trips into the local mountains, and is connected to a 450-km long trail
of cross-country tracks. The facility has an excellent area for young children
to play on skis – a ski playground! Special cross-country and biathlon
championships can be organized in either the Olympic tracks or the floodlit
tracks. |  | | Lillehammer,
Nordseter
and Sjusjøen have a large capacity for overnight visitors,
with accommodation facilities ranging from hotels, mountain lodges,
chalets, apartments, as well as winter camping facilities. |

| Christmas shopping in the mainstreet of Lillehammer |
 Lillehammer's commercial areas, at least those interesting for visitors (I am expecting tourists not to be interested in bulk fertilizer, 2nd hand tractors, car dealers etc.) are centered on two areas: The main area, well-known because of the Lillehammer Olympic, is the centre of Lillehammer itself, with the pedestrian areas and adjacent side roads, back yards, parallel roads etc. The Storgata pedestrian street is the focal place.

| Christmas skiing at Hafjell Norway |
|
 Hafjell is one of the major Norwegian alpine ski resorts - with the Torch man as the landmark. The new Gondola and a most varied network of trails provide thrills and challenges for the whole family. The freeskiers and freeriders have found their favorite spot in the renowned terrain park of Hafjell.
Hafjell Alpine Centre is located only 15 km north of Lillehammer town. The Gondola as well as 14 other lifts serve the long descents where the longest cuts 7 km down the mountain. The vertical drop is 835 m and the advanced snow system provides superb conditions from the end of November to late April.
For children it is easy to have a good time when visiting Hafjell. Beginners areas are developed to give the smallest guests lots of space to ski on the level they belong, together with parents or one of the Ski School instructors. Troll Club and Knerten Club are popular Ski School programs for those aged 4-6, where the children are taught how to play on skis. Children aged 7-10 meet the same program in the Snow Club.
