Host to the 1994 Winter Olympics, charming Lillehammer is still known for its snowy sports scene. The adjacent, pristine Nordseter and Sjusjøen area offers the Norwegian wilderness at its best, with plenty of mountains, forests and lakes. The Lillehammer Art Museum, the largest open-air museum in Europe, houses more than 40,000 objects. Taking a ride on the Skibladner, the world’s oldest active paddle steamer, is a great way to see local waterways . And the Lysgaardsbakkene Ski Jumping Facility is the town’s monumental landmark. The Norwegian Olympic Museum has items from 45 Olympic Summer and Winter Games.
