Southern Norway in winter

Explore Oslo independently, at your own pace.

Norway is known for its fjords, and Oslo is no exception! You will sail on the Oslofjord during a 3-hour cruise, giving you a new perspective of the city and the many islands where the inhabitants of the capital live.

Then, like the locals, you'll alternate between hot and cold while enjoying the communal saunas floating on the Oslofjord. Will you take on the challenge of diving into the fjord?

In your rental vehicle (which you must book yourself), you drive for 2-3 hours to reach the wilderness of Eastern Norway.

You pass through Lillehammer, known for having hosted the Winter Olympic Games in 1994.

Today you'll meet your local, French-speaking guide who will introduce you to authentic Norwegian life! Literally translated as "outdoor living," the term Friluftsliv perfectly captures the Norwegians' relationship with nature. It's a way of life that draws you into the great outdoors and gives you the freedom to press pause and recharge.

Take control of your own sled dog and head through the forest for an unforgettable experience! Accompanied by a local musher, you'll learn how to handle your team while enjoying the surrounding snowy landscape. He will guide you (in English) throughout the adventure, ensuring you fully experience this incredible adventure.

You then enjoy an outdoor meal, organized by your guide.

Head to Rondane National Park! A jewel of Eastern Norway, the park offers numerous activities. We recommend contacting the hotel reception to plan your day according to your preferences.

Your second day in the park is dedicated to observing musk oxen. These animals, survivors of the last ice age, are recognizable by their long horns and fur.

The excursion begins in the morning and lasts between 4 and 6 hours, depending on how close you get to the animals. The hike is not difficult but suitable for everyone; the goal is not performance but rather to gently approach and observe these animals.

Remember to bring your lunch so you can picnic in the heart of the park. You can rent binoculars to better observe the animals.

You'll descend gently back to the airport along the shores of Lake Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake. Enjoy your last full day trying out some must-do winter activities such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and more. Your host will be happy to advise you on the best activities for the day.

Alternatively, dedicate this day to culture and visiting the museums and monuments that are located along the route.

In the evening, head to the lakeside hotel where you can also enjoy the sauna (at an extra cost).

Last day in Norway!

The tranquility of the country is palpable, and we hope you will leave feeling refreshed after your stay.

Thank you for your trust.
