Explore Lillehammer

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

See the mountains from a new perspective — on horseback. Guided riding tours take you through spectacular terrain with deep gorges, towering peaks and cascading waterfalls. Feel the connection between horse and rider as you move quietly through the pristine Norwegian wilderness.

The region offers several riding centres that arrange everything from short hourly trips and full-day excursions to multi-day riding weekends in the mountains. There are options for both beginners and experienced riders, making this an ideal outdoor experience for everyone.

The Lillehammer region is also home to two of Norway’s national parks – Rondane and Langsua – both offering breathtaking landscapes and a chance to experience untouched nature up close.

Exploring the mountains on horseback is not just an activity – it’s a peaceful and powerful way to connect with nature in its purest form.
