Lillehammer Sehenswürdigkeiten

Lillehammer Essentials

Lillehammer is defined by its 1994 Winter Olympic legacy and deep cultural history. The Lysgårdsbakkene ski jump and the Norwegian Olympic Museum showcase the city's sporting heritage, while the Maihaugen open-air museum houses the 13th-century Garmo Stave Church. To the north, the Hunderfossen and Lilleputthammer theme parks offer attractions based on Norwegian folklore and local history. The surrounding landscape is marked by the Fakkelmannen hillside figure and the extensive slopes of Hafjell Alpine Resort.
