Lillehammer is a great place for a ski holiday and is refreshingly different to the mainstream ski resorts in the Alps. There is no doubt that the ski area is not as extensive as some of the mega-domains in France but there is plenty for most, and it is well groomed and has a good lift system.

The scenery is truly breathtaking and at times you feel like an arctic explorer due to the barren nature of the land at the top of some of the mountains.

The town has a great mixture of contemporary bars and cosy traditional pubs and the standard of accommodation was excellent.

As a former host of the Winter Olympics Lillehammer boasts a ski jump centre and a bobsleigh track which you can go down if you dare - we did and it is highly recommended, but not for the feint hearted.
