Norway is an adventurer's paradise - whatever your age. This action-packed, week-long family adventure to Norway has so much to capture the whole family's imagination. Dog sledding through a winter wonderland, ice fishing on a frozen lake and cooking up a wilderness lunch over an open fire - what more could you want?

Your adventure begins in Oslo, where you can explore the Royal Palace, Akershus Fortress and the National Theatre before enjoying a behind-the-scenes tour of the Opera House. From here you will head north to Heggenes to spend an unforgettable day dog sledding through the Norwegian wilderness. End your Arctic adventure with one last adrenaline rush, spending the day whizzing down snowy slopes in a snow raft, before warming up in front of a fire in a cosy tee-pee.

Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Your family winter break to Norway begins with a flight to the capital, Oslo. The flight takes just over two hours, so enough time for you all to get excited about your family adventure, without the kids getting fed up. Once you've landed, catch the shuttle train to Oslo city centre - it runs every 10 minutes and will have you there in just 20 minutes. Make your way from the train station to your hotel in downtown Oslo. Depending on your flight time, you should have a bit of time to explore the city. We've included a family Oslo Pass for the duration of your stay, which gives you free entry to 30 museums and attractions, free travel on public transport, free entry to the outdoor swimming pools and lots more - perfect for keeping the whole family entertained.

Our Concierge can recommend a fantastic, family-friendly restaurant in the city for your evening meal. Then it's time to get a good night's sleep - you have a busy day in store tomorrow.

You're on the move today to start the second stage of your family winter break, so catch the shuttle train back to Oslo airport to collect your family's hire car, which will be waiting for you. Your journey will take three hours, as you drive north to the town of Heggenes, in the stunning mountainous region of Valdres. Check in to your boutique hotel where you'll be staying for the next four nights. It's famous for its delicious food, so ask the concierge to book you all a table at the cosy restaurant, where you can enjoy incredible Norwegian sharing platters or cook your own meat on the Ofyr outdoor grill.
