Adventure Holidays in Norway

"Rising storm-scarr'd from the ocean,
Where the breakers foam…"

Norway’s national anthem says it all. This is wild country: whether you come in summer for the emerald and jade shimmer of the world-famous fjords, head over in winter to cross-country ski across this pristine snow-covered Eden, or venture far north into the clutches of the unforgiving and unimaginably beautiful Arctic, Norway is about the landscape.

With less than 5 million inhabitants, Norway is very sparsely populated, leaving huge stretches of wild, frozen scenery ready to be explored. This is the birthplace of skiing, and to glide across the frozen lakes, ancient forests and secluded valleys borders on a rite of passage for all snow devotees. For a slightly less tranquil winter, adrenalin seekers can hurtle down the Olympic Bobsled track at Lillehammer.
