Lillehammer Norway – Insider tips and unusual activities in Lillehammer with children
Activities: We visited the Lillehammer Ski Jumping Arena. We could drive up, walk up the stairs, or use the chairlift. In summer, we walked on the hiking trails. In winter, we used the illuminated cross-country ski trails, but those are only for experts. We also tried the toboggan run
Highlights: The view of the city and the lake from the ski jump was amazing, both in summer and winter! The toboggan run was also great fun; we could get pulled up with a lift! Helmets are mandatory ✨
