Winter adventure week for families in Norway
Why Norway, why Hedmark? |
The area is a piece of wilderness in Europe. Tourism is not very present. You can therefore enjoy the silence and the wide virgin highlands twice more. The guest farm where you stay has been welcoming guests since 1900. Tradition and authenticity can be smelled in each room. The English-speaking guides, know the area very well and have been guiding groups in the middle of the nature here winter and summer for more than 10 years now.
This is the most southern part of SAPMI ( Lapland), land of the Sami (Laps). Several herds of reindeer and their 'shepherds' live here. This is also
a place where bears (sleeping in the winter), wolves, lynx, wolverines, moose, cranes, foxes and marters or their tracks can be seen.
We have chosen authentic, non-motorized means of transportation : dog sleds, sledges, cross country skis and snowshoes and. With the dog sleds, we can enjoy the big stretches of nature, the contact with the animals. On snow shoes, we look for moose and other tracks or head for the tops. With the cross country skis we discover the national Norwegian sport and glide through the landscapes in an active way.
This program is made for children as from 6 years old with their parents.
