Spring and summer activities

Active experiences in the summer sun

The summer in East Norway offers great opportunities for family activities in the open air with several of Norway's largest lakes, lush forests, an undulating cultural landscape and quiet hills. Take the eager kids to the beach, find recommended cycling and hiking tours or embark on a romantic canoe trip for just the two of you.

Is it a rainy day?

Be prepared and find experiences that are well suited when the summer sun takes a break. It's always good to have a couple of weatherproof options on hand.
