Activities

It is never hard to find something to do in Lillehammer and Gudbrandsdalen!

During summer, you can cycle the Birkebeiner trail from Sjusjøen, or enjoy dirt-track and mountain biking at Skeikampen. Hafjell Bike Park offers lift-assisted downhill biking, and has bicycles for hire. If you prefer walking, the national parks Langsua, Rondane and Jotunheimen are spectacular areas to explore – or alternatively, enjoy some horseback riding in the Venabygdsfjellet mountain or in Espedalen. Try your luck fishing in river Gudbrandsdalslågen and lake Mjøsa, or experience an elk safari.

The Lillehammer and Gudbrandsdalen region is a renowned winter sports destination, and can offer some of the best cross-country skiing in the world – over 2000 km of trails to choose from. Lillehammer Ski Resorts is a collaboration between some of the region's alpine centres, where one lift pass covers all. Not a skier? Try dog sledding, sledging or a snowshoe hike.

For those looking for an active holiday, the opportunities are many and diverse.
