Winter Holidays in Norway

If you’re looking for a winter holiday in Norway with snow and ice, and perhaps some Northern lights, then a winter holiday in Norway is sure to deliver.

A playground for all types of winter sports, Cross-country skiing is by far the most popular. With rolling hills and wild fells, it’s the perfect sport for all levels from beginner to advanced.

Winter holidays in Norway are the perfect antidote to a British winter, with picture perfect white wintry scenes and an expanse of rugged wilderness. Our mountain bases are three to four hours away from Oslo.

Many of our featured hotels are ‘High Mountain hotels’ with access to remote terrain, meaning as soon as you step out the door, you’re in the heart of magical forests, with gargantuan still lakes at their centre and surrounded by towering mountains. You’ll be in awe of the silence that surrounds these rural idylls on a winter holiday in Norway.

Our cross-country skiing tours offer a variety of grades, so you can explore undulating track as a beginner or intermediate skier and then possibly the most impressive off-piste slopes in Europe for the more advanced skiers. There are also opportunities for mixed-activity holidays in which you can sample a number of different types of winter adventures, including snowshoeing and dogsledding.

Great trip – exceeded my expectation

Lynn Tuson Finnish Wilderness Week

Fantastic week from start to finish. Great food and comfortable accommodation, equipment great also.

Siobhan Hanrahan Finnish Wilderness Week

A whistle stop tour through the extremes of Iceland’s landscape and weather! The itinerary is essentially waterfalls on day one, glaciers on day two and the ‘golden circle’ on day three. We had atrocious weather (lashing rain and 100mph winds) on day one so perhaps visiting three waterfalls wasn’t the best idea. They were very crowded and the weather made it impossible to really appreciate them. The glacier walk on the second day had to be abandoned due to high winds but not until after about an hour in the weather putting all the kit on and probably another hour attempting to get up the path. The northern lights are elusive and I found them disappointing – you can’t really see them with the naked eye, only through a camera lens set to the right exposure. We saw them on a separate bus tour on our last night in Reykjavik, not on the tour itself. Thankfully we had sunshine and calm for the last day. The landscape is beautiful and the food was delicious, if not all that varied. The long drives were broken up well with rest stops and road side sights.
