Holiday Rentals Norway Glacial landscapes and pristine, glassy lakes, dramatic fjords and Nordic fishing villages spread out over hundreds of kilometers of coastline, and the cultural, clean and cosmopolitan capital city of Oslo lies surrounded by breathtaking emerald hills. This is Norway; a destination in which the exceptional landscape is rivaled only by the warmth and friendliness of the locals.
Norway enjoys a warm and verdant summertime; the time of year most visitors flock to these picturesque shores and cities. Spring is vibrant and sunny, and autumn bursts colour into the landscape, making Norway one of Europe’s best locations to see autumnal golden yellow, orange and red foliage. Blanketed white during the winter months, Norway is both a delightful and extreme destination for skiers. Skiing and snowboarding in Norway is a popular pastime among locals and foreigners alike.
Among the best Norwegian ski resorts are Geilo, Kvitfjell, Trysil and the formidable Stryn Sommerski resort. It is easy to pick up snowboarding rental equipment and ski rentals at any of these resorts, although Europeans who live nearby might be better served bringing their own skis and boards along. During the summer, water sports in Norway include jet skis, wind surfing, sailing, rowing, swimming and diving in the brisk, delightful waters and inlets throughout the Norwegian fjords.
In Oslo, enjoy a world city that competes with any other cultural European metropolis. Find Norway’s archeological and cultural lore well preserved among the various museums – yes, some Norwegians did participate in the whole Viking thing way back when, and the Viking Ship museum sheds light on that. For a more artistic experience, check out the world-class exhibits at the Vigeland museum. Speaking of Vigeland, the Vigeland park is an incredible swath of greenery and a perfect place to relax on a balmy summer day and enjoy a good people watching session, discovering Norwegian beauty. |
