Does as it says on the tin. In winter with the snow it was quite beautiful to walk around. Lots of different wooden cabins and building that represented classic style from days gone by. Set in beautiful surroundings with lakes and woodland. Nice to get out in fresh air after doing the Olympic museum. Both are situated in the same place.

Thoroughly curated museum with both Norwegian and English information boards. Because of covid-19, the touch boards were not in use when we visited, but this is totally understandable. The mine museum was located inside a mine, which we really liked. There are benches and toilets placed around the park, and a nice café too. We recommend bringing a rain jacket in case of rain, because there will be walking from building to building.

With the very edge of the mountains as starting point, visitors have every opportunity to experience cross-country skiing at its best. The network of trails connects to the Lillehammer, Hafjell and Sjusjoen networks, and over 2,500 km of trails are available in total. The mountain plateaus, offering cross-country ski trails through open and gentle terrain, are within easy reach. If the weather turns bad, the forests close by provide excellent shelter from the wind. Nordseter offers excellent ski and equipment hire facilities.
6. Helvete

A priest from the local communiy managed to get down into Helvete (Hell) and when he reached the edge on his way up again, with old, moldy bones in his hands, he said he can now claim being the only priest in the country who have been to Hell and gotten out in one piece!! Northern Europes largest potholes, one of the wildest thing you se and experience in the Norwegian nature!!

First: You need to coordinate hands and feet to walk the route through the potholes of "Helvete". The route is far from extreme, but involves some light climbing where you need to hold on tight to railing. The spectacle is what a river underneath the ice of the previous ice age has dug through the rock. This is a rather deep "canyon" with a series of potholes. The slick, curved walls are impressive to watch and provide a reverbing acoustic experience. It is a very nice example of the wonders of nature. The name is perhaps misplaced. There are no flames or evil here, but one can easily imagine the powers at work to form the potholes. We loved the experience.
