In summer, embark on an all-inclusive holiday combining hiking, canoeing, bivouacking and local specialities! Our three French friends will take you to Espedalen, 3 hours north of Oslo.

You'll be able to observe the flora and fauna across the vastness and magic of the Nordic landscapes, and who knows, maybe you'll share a sandwich with a moose?

This 5-day adventure requires no previous canoeing or kayaking experience. The logistics are designed to make your life easier. All you need is a pair of shoes and a backpack, and everything else is provided. You'll be supervised by our certified French-speaking guides.

SNØ is located just 15 minutes from Oslo and covers 36,000 m² of snow-covered area, divided between three slopes of varying difficulty levels, a snowpark with rail, jump and big jump, and a 1.5 km cross-country ski run. While it lacks the scenery and ambience of a classic ski resort, it's a welcome alternative for those who don't always have the time to go and get the snow where it's found. All equipment can be rented on site: snowboards, cross-country or alpine skis and even winter clothing.

Kayak Expedition rents out quality equipment so you can set off on your own adventure, whenever and wherever you want! Single or double kayaks are inflatable (based on the packraft model) and can be easily transported from one beach to another, or even to mountain lakes (please note current regulations). You'll also be able to buy everything you need for a bivouac: tent, sleeping bag, stove, waterproof bag, hammock, fishing rod, headlamp... in short, everything you need. All you need to do is get started!

At the foot of the Gudbrandsdalen, the Hafjell golf course offers a quality course (9-hole) as well as an excellent view. The course is located right in an area accessible by the E6, which is 800 m away, 15 minutes north of Lillehammer. For those who love this specific activity, here is a place to vary from your days of visiting museums and cities. The view on the surrounding mountains and the fjord from this golf course is really nice. The plus: the grass here is no less green than at the neighbour's!

How about a sea kayaking tour between the islands of the fjord? Starting from the city centre (Sjølyst Marina), take a two-hour kayak tour to discover the beaches along the Bygdøy peninsula, the hidden marinas here and there, the modern architecture in Fornebu, and simply enjoy the fjord. Visiting a city that overlooks a fjord is also visiting the fjord, and that's exactly what this activity offers: getting down to sea level to see what's around us from another perspective. You deserve a burger afterwards!

Korketrekkeren is Oslo's most popular toboggan run! All you have to do is rent a sled and let yourself be carried along! Strong sensations are guaranteed, because beware, you quickly get up to speed! There are two models to choose from: wooden sleds with a woven seat and two wooden runners, or for the more experienced, the "rodel" sled on which you lie down for a minimum of wind resistance and a maximum of speed. Once at the bottom, you just have to take the metro with your sled to go back up, quite original! 255 meters of difference in altitude.

This 125-kilometer bike trail is a must-do in the region. Starting in Dovre, the 5 stages of this adventure take you through 3 national parks (Dovre, Dovrefjell, Rondane) and an infinite number of breathtaking landscapes. The hardest part won't be pedaling, but keeping an eye on the road! You'll find food and lodgings at regular intervals, and if you're afraid you're not up to it, don't panic: you can choose a muscle bike or an electric-assist mountain bike.

Skating is a very common activity in Norway, and many people are introduced to it from an early age. Across the country, winter offers the opportunity to transform numerous stadiums, fountains and other public facilities into skating rinks. In Frogner, skate hire is free, so it's a great opportunity to give skating a try! Skating is also widely practiced on frozen lakes/fjords, but the ice is often less smooth and more difficult to skate on, so it's best to train on the rink first!
