Ski vacations Lillehammer - step it up on Olympic pistes!

History was made in 1994 in the Norwegian city Lillehammer! The world's best skiers fought for Olympic gold and made the resort famous. The city, with its nearby Olympic ski area, is located in the Oppland district in the eastern part of Norway, in the heart of a wonderful mountain landscape. Here guests will find the country's highest mountain peaks! Since the 1994 Winter Olympic Games, the ski region has been continually expanded and is now one of the most popular areas in Norway. Lillehammer has more to offer than snowy pistes, though. A real experience is the legendary view from the ski jump tower on the largest mountain in the ski jump area of Lysgårdsbakkene or a bobsled run in the Hunderfossen Olympic centre. In "Taxibob", speeds of over 100 km/h are reached! Guests can let themselves get carried away by the Norwegian apres ski and yield to the typical Scandinavian charm! Lillehammer's restored inner city, with numerous shops, restaurants and bars, ensures a pleasant change away from the pistes.
