Overview
Enjoy a day to discover Lillehammer and several museums

From 7:30 AM - Breakfast
Good morning! Breakfast is available from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM at your hotel. After breakfast travel by bus up to the Sjusjøen plateau. We recommend having overboots or carrying shoes in a small backpack to get around when you are not skiing.

Rest day to explore Lillehammer
Discover some of Lillehammer’s history at the Norwegian Olympic Museum and the open-air museum Maihaugen. Maihaugen is one of the largest museums in Norway and offers cultural experiences telling the story of a rural society in the 20th century. The highlight of the outdoor museum are the traditional buildings rebuild on the grounds. The museums are open from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

The Norwegian Olympic Museum highlights the history of sport and the greatest Norwegian sporting achievements in the Olympics. Dive into the history of the Olympic Games in ancient and modern times with a focus on the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo and 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Decide what you are interested in and spend as much time as you like here, as there is lots to explore in both of the museums. As always, it is your vacation so you can decide.

After visiting the Norwegian Olympic Museum you can walk back to your hotel.
