The delights of a Norwegian summer
See more See lessNorwegians operate in “in and out” mode. In winter, they turn their homes into a cosy refuge.

Take advantage of your holiday in southern Norway to discover how the locals live, sharing the simplicity of their daily life, the original flavours of their meals, the laughter and traditions of their festivals. Allow yourself to be overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of Norwegian nature, the beauty of the fjords and the calmness of ancient forests. Experience this harmonious lifestyle as a pair, enjoying romantic strolls along the fjords or through the picture-perfect villages in Telemark county. And be sure to include a touch of fantasy, street art, Viking boats and a zoo... for a family adventure bursting with feel-good vibes! If you fancy adding a little partying into the mix, bring your friends along to Norway’s biggest beach party in Bystranda - with all-night sunlight and music to dazzle the senses.
