Experience the Lillehammer Region and its wide offer of recreational activities.
For those seeking speed, excitement and adventure, the Sjoa River is a must. Known as Norway’s and one of the world’s best rafting rivers, Sjoa offers thrilling river experiences surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery.
Rafting here is suitable for most people – from adventurous families with older children to experienced adrenaline-seekers. Guided trips are available for all levels, combining fun, teamwork and unforgettable moments on the water.
If you want to push the adventure further, try canyoning, where you climb, swim, jump into natural pools and move through the river on foot. Or test your courage with riverboarding, racing down the rapids on a board equipped with a wetsuit, flippers, helmet and vest. Along the way, there are stops and games that make the experience even more entertaining.
The Sjoa River is about a 1.5-hour drive north of Lillehammer, and well worth the trip for anyone craving an adrenaline-filled day in nature.
Stay at First Hotel Breiseth, centrally located in Lillehammer near the train station and the pedestrian street. If you arrive by car, the hotel offers free parking for all guests.
