10 Things to do in Lillehammer That You Shouldn't Miss

June 19, 2021 Timmy Ribble

Lillehammer gained international fame as the host of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. Since then, tourism has flourished in this Norwegian city. Skiing is excellent, of course, but even non-skiers can experience the thrill of the slopes by taking a lift to the top of Lysgårdsbakken Olympic ski jump site. Explore the awesome collections and structures of the Maihaugen open-air museum or hike the Fåberg Cultural Trail to the site of ancient petroglyphs.

I have been teaching skiing for 45 years, the last 22 at Sjusjøen, near Lillehammer, Norway. I now specialise in the classic cross-country technique, having worked in several ski areas around the world. In '76 I qualified as an ISIA alpine teacher with BASI, and have worked as a guide, ski patrol, teacher trainer and ski school director. Now I am semi-retired, have written a book about my teaching system and enjoy giving beginners a solid start.

Great instructor. Loads of information, help and support. We were both amateurs, and by the end of our session we knew enough to go off for a week’s skiiing. Highly recommended.

Does as it says on the tin. In winter with the snow it was quite beautiful to walk around. Lots of different wooden cabins and building that represented classic style from days gone by. Set in beautiful surroundings with lakes and woodland. Nice to get out in fresh air after doing the Olympic museum. Both are situated in the same place.

Reviewed By linetrip - Oslo, Norway

Thoroughly curated museum with both Norwegian and English information boards. Because of covid-19, the touch boards were not in use when we visited, but this is totally understandable. The mine museum was located inside a mine, which we really liked. There are benches and toilets placed around the park, and a nice café too. We recommend bringing a rain jacket in case of rain, because there will be walking from building to building.
