Winter Activities
The alter ego to Norway's world-famous summer attractions is its extraordinary range of
winter activities. Many of these take place in the Arctic North, with dog-sledding, snow-
mobiling and skiing the marquee attractions. Apart from allowing you to try new modes of
transport, these activities take you beyond inhabited regions and add a new dimension to
your experience of Arctic and sub-Arctic Norway.
