Other things to do in Lillehammer

Peer Gynt

The spectacular cultural festival Peer Gynt is held annually at the beginning of August

Kunsthelg på Hotel Breiseth

Welcome to a weekend filled with art, insight, and storytelling at the historic Hotel Breiseth in Lillehammer, the very place where many of Norway’s most influential artists once gathered to paint, discuss ideas, and shape our national artistic identity.

Nordseter and Nevelfjell

Just 15 minutes from Lillehammer lies Nordseter – a beautiful mountain area perfect for hiking, fishing and paddling. From here, you can reach Nevelfjell, one of Eastern Norway’s best viewpoints at 1,089 metres above sea level.

Hafjell Bikepark and Hafjelltoppen

At Hafjell, adventure awaits on two wheels and two feet. Try downhill cycling at Hafjell Bike Park or hike to the panoramic views of Hafjelltoppen – both offering unforgettable mountain experiences for the whole family.

Explore the mountains on horseback

Discover the Lillehammer region from horseback. Ride through mountain valleys, past waterfalls and gorges, and experience the raw beauty of Rondane and Langsua National Parks – whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider.

Explore Lillehammer

Experience the Lillehammer Region and its wide offer of recreational activities.

In Lillehammer, nature, culture and fun go hand in hand. Just a short walk from the city centre, you’ll find Maihaugen Open-Air Museum, where you can explore what life in Norway was like over the past 500 years – from traditional farmhouses to historic urban settings.

Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Lillehammer Art Museum, which regularly features acclaimed exhibitions, such as Anna Ancher – Skagen’s Inner and Outer Space.

As Norway’s Olympic city, Lillehammer still thrives with energy and tradition. Many of the Olympic facilities remain open to visitors, and the Norwegian Olympic Museum is highly recommended for a deep dive into sports history and the spirit of the Games.

For families, Lillehammer is packed with amusement parks and activity centres for all ages – including Hunderfossen Family Park, Lilleputthammer Miniature Park, Jorekstad Fritidsbad, Lekeland, and Barnas Gård.

After a day full of experiences, take a stroll down Lillehammer’s charming pedestrian street, lined with historic wooden houses, small specialty shops and galleries. Sit down for an ice cream, enjoy the local atmosphere, and take in the warmth of this lively mountain town.
