A small church at the end of the road. It was so freezing that we could not enter. Free to enter as well.

A beautiful church in Jukkasjarvi. This is the last stop on the Kiruna - Jukkasjarvi bus route, and an ideal starting point for your Jukkasjarvi exploration. Start at the church, walk down to the Sami Siida adjacent to the property, then walk down to the ice hotel, and take the bus back to kiruna.

Beautiful from the inside and the outside. The inside is very special, I have never seen a church like this before. The colours which are used for the furniture and pictures are the colours which are typical for the Sami.

Small, pintoresque and very peculiar church

Unique place to see and visit

Nice church on the end of the world :) if you are visiting Swedish Lapland I recommend you to visit this place. But remember it's a church, be quiet and peaceful, respect other people around you :)

I love to visit churches wherever I go as they give the best sense of local history. This Beautiful little church is a case in point

I visited the museum in December. Since most of the exhibits were outdoors and it was cold, I went through it pretty quickly—about 30 minutes—because I couldn't stand in one spot for too long to read the information, even though it was quite interesting. The most memorable part was feeding the reindeer. The museum's restaurant had very cozy decor and friendly staff, but the portions were quite small for the price.

An exciting museum that provides a good insight into the life of the Sami people. The opportunity to feed reindeer is great. Beforehand, there is a clear explanation of what to pay attention to when feeding them. The admission prices are rather expensive. Unfortunately, the film about the life of the Sami people was not showing. One hour is sufficient to view the entire facility and the exhibits.

We visited in winter, so there wasn't as much going on outside. There was a lot of learning to be had from the static displays of structures and how they were used, as well as signs that described most aspect of native life. Very interesting. The highlight for us was the reindeer exhibit where we were able to feed and pet reindeer. Beautiful creatures and very friendly.

I failed to understand why the tickets are so expensive !!! - It is a small museum, and tries to explain everything in only a few artifacts and boards. I have visited much better museums(about Samis) at a lower cost. - While feeding the reindeer is a nice experience for kids, they charge SEK 50 for a pocket bag of lichen. - One of the rooms which probably has exhibits of daily products used by Samis was locked. - The film was a bit informative but still has a lot of scope for improvement. My suggestion is to save money, and invest it in other Sami museums.

Restaurant serving indigenous Dami dish. Outdoors museum exhibits the dwelling and storage structures of Sami peoples. There are many reindeers roaming around and you can pet it.

an experience that can't be missed -- from feeding reindeers, to getting chased by them for not feeding them fast enough, to the history of the Sami through various depiction of life, this is a treat. must round it off with a delicious meal of salmon soup & succulent reindeer meat burger at their restaurant. make sure to check out their website for opening hours, especially during the Christmas period.

A small outdoor museum with Reindeers! We got the snacks to feed the reindeers in their enclosure. It was up close and you can pet them as well. But they can get a little aggressive but the staff will give you advice before entering. Other locations to see how the Sami people live in the past. There is a small shop and a cafe with big fire place which was important for tourists in the winter.

Fantastic museum Well laid out and interpreted. Loads for kids to do and a fly though 3D experience of Lapponia that was breathtaking. A pity the cafe was closed and there was no coffee BUT there was a great Grill House around the corner.

Very interesting museum, which teaches a lot about the history of the Samipeople, their art and culture. Nature and animals of the north are explained very competent too.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ájtte Museum A truly fascinating and well-organized museum! The exhibitions offer deep insight into Sámi history, culture, and the natural environment of Sápmi. Beautifully curated and easy to follow – highly recommended for anyone interested in the North and its heritage.

Very good museum, my daughter who is currently writing her masters on history/museum learned something about how the Swedish state still suppress the Sami culture, by not giving credit to the Sami people who assisted on expeditions.

Super museum - for all ages. Even if you are not a museum lover, it's a great way to fill time.

We were there because I'm very interested in the samí-culture. The exhibition was really interesting. You can borrow some informations in a handbook in Swedish, english and also in German. Was really great!

Really interesting and informative, I loved the descriptions, sounds, stories and interactive displays. A fabulous gift shop and friendly staff.

Outstanding cultural historical museum featuring the Sami way of life and art forms. The museum shop is excellent and features a very interesting and rich book section. There was a separate exhibition of heads of famous people made in felt, a local technique also used to produce boots. The museum is very well curated and we consider a visit a must if you are in the region.

One of the best museums I've seen so far in Sweden. A lot of explanations in English about local life. Don't miss the slideshow...and coffee!

Visited during Autumn Market Saturday. Really great exhibition on Sami culture and clothing with silver ornaments and decorations. Great book shop. Fantastic indoor and outdoor market stalls with local produce.

Nice little museum with friendly staff. Entrance under age of 18 is free and for adults 80SEK. Exhibition showed how sami people lived, hunted etc you can see their silver accessories and some prehistoric tools. One bad thing with this museum was that at least half of the exhibition was only in Swedish and not in English, so a bit hard to understand the history and context overall.

The museum shows local history in different facets. The life of the Sámi, their jewelry and utensils are shown exemplarily. But also something about the founder of the museum, the doctor Einar Wallquist, whose collection was the starting point. The surprisingly large first floor is unexpectedly modern in design. The museum must of course try the impossible balancing act of combining the various exhibits into a whole exhibition. With some topics this succeeds excellently, with others the visitor can at least get a fragmentary impression of another time and culture.

Silvermuseet is an outstanding place to learn about the lives of local people. The exhibits provide a fascinating glimpse into their daily living, clothing, and overall lifestyle. The museum also features a short film, which enhances the experience by offering a visual representation of the historical context. I highly recommend visiting Silvermuseet for anyone interested in cultural history and local traditions.

Very nice museum, good quality of exhibition, very friendly and informative staff. If you like Skansen you will love this one. They serve coffee too.

We went there around 14:30. The food has finished in the cafeteria so we had to survive with just drinks. I suggest them to have food until the zoo closes. We took the train to see around. It was a good experience. We saw some animals. But I wish there were more animals to worth the entrance fee of 250 sek. Clean and tidy.

Really liked the zoo. We saw arctic fox, muskox, moose, wolf and some other animals 👍🏻

Feeding time was the best part.

The animals are well cared for and they have english information for most animals. Recommended for family or couples, it’s a lot of walking so be careful if you have bad knees. They offer a ”train” that will take you around the park as they are about to feed the animals

Too expensive considering the number of animals and activities in the zoo, otherwise an ok ZOO On mountain top.

A wonderful zoo experience with family and kids. The park has plenty of animal and fun activities to keep everyone entertained for an entire day. There are bathrooms , small places to grab something to eat all over the place. If you visit for the first time, take the guided tour, you will experiance the entire park. Sweden is expensive and yet the prices here are decent. I will definitely come back here with my family.

A great experience! About an hour walk around the entire place if you stop briefly to see all the animals but you'll stay longer 😁 bears are especially awesome! Make sure to say hi to big boy Gimli 😎😊

Fun swimming pool featuring three different slides. One with tubes, two without. Minimal age 6 years old. For the smaller ones there are two dedicated slides in the kids pool. Clean changing rooms. The temperature of the water was fine. Few things that could use maintenance and are broken. There's a family discount when swimming with kids. 150 SEK for 1 parent with 1 kid. Sauna in the shower room hardly gets hot enough to be a sauna. Free parking with 2 EV charger spots.

I have been there with my son 6 years old and the magik aye is ok and the blue tobogan but the red is not ok . Not for me not for children. Small place the water woz cold

The water is nice. There is plenty of space in the jacuzi and the temperature is good. Very crowded with little children in the jacuzi. There is plenty of slides and area to have fun. The showers and lockerrooms are very dirty. Please do something about that. The food is normal and you do not have to wait long on it.

Very nice waterpark located relatively close to the camping site, had a lot of fun there!

1. The pool is always cold! 2. When you get in the jacuzzi, it is full of children, playing, spitting, fighting. That is not a jacuzzi, it is just small pool for children, I thought it was for adults who want to relax while their kids bathe in the pool, but it is nothing like that, you can't even be in the jacuzzi. 3. The food is a disaster, and the service, I understand that it is a Swedish culture that you have to pick up the plate and glass, etc (I never understood that in this country), are you paying for a restaurant and on top of that you have to get up to clean up? In this restaurant they even ask you to throw the leftovers of the food in a different trash can, etc. and the tables are dirty, you have to clean them yourself to be able to sit down to eat, a disaster, you pay for the food and you have to clean up yourself before and after. 4. Last summer a giant rat got into a hole in the floor outside next to the pools. Incredible. Please fix this.

Fantastic aufguss but the place is starting to deteriorate. Stole our pre-paid visits. Dissatisfied

Still feels modern despite being quite old :) kids have a lot of fun and the lifeguards are great, not to expensive either :)

Lovely authentic musuem both in summer and winter! They also organize markets once in a while, and especially their Christmas market is great. Great place to learn more about the history of Sweden and Jämtland

Jamtli is a wonderful open-air museum that beautifully brings history and culture to life. The exhibits are interactive and engaging, showcasing traditional Swedish life through buildings, artifacts, and live demonstrations. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, making the experience educational and fun for all ages. It’s perfect for families, history lovers, and curious travelers. Jamtli offers a delightful blend of learning, storytelling, and authentic Scandinavian charm.

Wonderful place. Especially sommer seasons with authentic ​​dwellers. Must see.

Cool place to visit, but could be more information and subtitles in English.

Amazing place. We get to learn about the history of Jämtland

A must see for travelers. For a descendant of this region it was a joy to see the culture and history of my ancestors. The museum is very well thought out and executed, and contains much more than I had expected. Like almost everywhere, the staff spoke English and were very pleasant and accommodating. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

For kids who speak Swedish a fun museum I imagine. The downstairs area is interesting but completely in Swedish, an app they have available has translations but only partly. Not all features available in Swedish are available in English or German. The national museum partly has English information alongside Swedish. If you enjoy looking at your phone just as much as looking at the exhibits this might be for you.

Great Swedish ski resort and not to touristic. You can even see reindeers if you're lucky, can't wait for the planned expansions to make this even better. It's not Åre but the slopes are really nice!

A good week with limited amount of guests so fast queuing in the lifts. Some technical problems on the West but sunshine compensates. Supersmooth automation of ski passes and very good admin if queues.

Vemdalskalet – Great skiing in beautiful nature, but the architecture… Vemdalskalet offers a fantastic ski area with well-maintained slopes and stunning natural surroundings. The skiing experience is top-notch, and it’s easy to enjoy your time out on the mountain. However, the architecture in the area is surprisingly poor. Many of the buildings seem oddly designed, with questionable material choices, poorly painted facades, and uninviting entrances. It often feels like a case of “good intentions, bad execution.” The overall impression is unfortunately dragged down by what might be some of the most mismatched and aesthetically challenged buildings in Sweden — a real contrast to the beauty of the surrounding nature.

Great place for beginners and intermediate skier's. 4 stars is based on Swedish ski resorts. If based on world wide it gets 2 stars.

Super place for winter vacation - we did spend great time with my family.

Good variety of slopes which suites most tastes of downhill skiing. Family oriented and calm place. Also good cross country skiing with connecting tracks to Björnrike and Klövsjö.

4 lifts what is unusual for Sweden. Pistes great condition. Snow enough even in March

A rather unique park that focuses on Sweden's predators. Because of Corona the feeding moments were cancelled. A lot of information isn't translated in English, so as a tourist you loose a lot of information.

It was great experience to spend Christmas Day visiting this zoo，not so many crowds，but the animals are really active. Staff literally send gift boxes to the polar bear family，we saw the bears open their gift boxes and enjoy the snacks inside，full of joy. Tigers making love in snow😅，leopards doing patrol，wolves having family meeting… very wild，very fun！We almost view everyone except lynx，they are too shy.

Really great and wonderful park. Very well suited for families. The animals are quite easy to see. The surroundings and views are magnificent. There is a nice small exhibition in the entrance and playground places all around. No doubt 5/5.

Wonderful wild animals park! Great feeling seeing these amazing animals so close to you :) There are many activities with animals e.g. we saw how they were feeding wolves. We also had lunch in the restaurant on top of a mountain with great view over the valley and Orsa lake. We spent the whole day in the park and want to come back again!

Fantastic wildlife park. We were here on the 31th of August (19 degrees) and it was not crowded at all, and all the animals were active and playing, either with food or playfighting with each other. We saw every animal species and even though the park is only 2 km of walking (hilly) we were there from 10.30-15.00h and were absolutely not bored at all (open from 10-15h). During feeding time, the zookeepers would answer all our questions and give very nice explanations about all the animals (very friendly people with a heart for animals). Yes the animal residences are very large so it might take you a while to find them, but think about the animals and be happy for them that they have enough space while you can still observe them from very beautiful viewing points. In conclusion: amazing park, beautiful animals held in good conditions, and a very nice way to spend your day.

If you're not into Zoo don't go. If you are, this would be one of the better zoo's you'll ever visit. Feeding moments were cancelled due to Corona, but we the animals have to be fed regardless and we were lucky enough to be there for one of those moments.

Really enjoyed the visit to the bear park. Even though it was drizzling most of the day, we have spotted almost all the animals there. There were brown bears, polar bears, wolves, owls, squirrel, tigers, Persian leapord, snow leapord and wolverine. We especially enjoyed the polar bears and the tigers. They were magnificent.

Thanks Anna at the Museum, it was son nice to be with Ms Monika from Germany the guide into Zorn Family House. I spent four hours between the Museum and the Garden, the house, and the museum again. I took a photo report with frame-by-frame reviews. Mr. Zorn, whose surname is ANDERS, is the same as my German daughter-in-law's. My grandchildren have this beautiful last name. It make the all visit very special for me. Never I have thing a water colour painter as Anders Zorn. He was a real genius painting basically with 4 colours.

Finally, off my bucket list. Take a guided tour and enjoy learning more about the life of one of the most important Swedish artists of all times.

Very interesting museum of Zorn. Know a little before the visit and know alot now. Amazing paintings and what a life he lived eventhough short. Recommended

Beautiful art, well-presented. Tour of Zorn's house was also interesting. Food and Fika in the cafe were great and the store had several excellent fridge magnets of the paintings.

Interesting museum with Zorn's paintings. There are two tickets - one for the museum itself and one to the tour on his house (note that the tour is only in sweden). The house was very impressive and interesting.

The architecture is just truly stunning. The guides seem passionate about what they do and have an answer to all questions! The main house has so many interesting details and it's just so beutiful! It's truly a must-see in Mora because it's just unlike anything you'll ever see!

Such a great art museum! It hosts the largest collection of Anders Zorn's works anywhere and the execution of the museum is brilliant. A must visit!

Very interesting place, not quite what I was expecting. The main attractions were non-stop theatrical performances of a fairytale variety. There was not much else to do, like playgrounds or rides. The park is a bit hard to navigate if you have not been there previously. The tickets were pricey for what was on offer. The staff was very nice and interacted great with kids. However, the day we were there, hundreds of tiny frogs were hoping in a highly trafficked area, on their way somewhere. The park did nothing to alert visitors to their presence or divert traffic. I watched multiple park employees drive golf carts over the frogs. It was very heartbreaking to see. The park also has very limited shopping. Everything sold is mass-produced cheap imports, which have been marked up. There was nothing special from the park or local area. I would have actually spent money in the gift shop if there had been anything worth buying, like a t-shirt or a nice Christmas ornament. The dressup items for kids were very cute, though.

Nice themepark for small kids. Very good actors and singers. The shows are very nice even if they are in Swedish. The park is not that big though and there are no activities like rollercoasters or other. If you have smaller children, they will love it.

Have been there 2 times, 2021, 2022 for New year event. Super nice, all good attractive decorations and Christmas feeling. Friendly staff speaking in English and Swedish. One think do not forget its super cold there. Take additional layer of clothes. Should i go there next time? Sure Yes!

Very nice to be with children. Performances in the middle of the forest with fairy tales that are connected despite different sketches. This place is open all year. Just remember to dress yourself after the Swedish winter climate if you come that time of the year!!

Nice landscape, good actors, amazing singers and committed stuff, but just as boring as it could be for the parents who don't have children under 10 years old. Expensive coffee. To complete full series if all events you'll need two days.

A "must" place if your kids are 3 - 10 years old and you are on the way to the Swedish mountains or just sightseeing Dalarna. Park is divided into few thematical parts, where both boys and girls should find something interesting. I look forward to coming there during the winter time. I've been to Kolmården, Astrid Lindgrens Värld and High Chaparral as well. Tomtelandet is smaller than each of them but definitely worth reserving one day during your vacation. I recommend.

Overall Great place for kids to view some shows and interact with the actors before and after the shows. Shows Pretty short, approx 15 minute. You have to know Swedish to understand the story. Sometimes a bit repetitive when all of them contain some reference to the "Tomte kraft". The acting and singing is good, and the kids found the story intriguing. If your kids are easily scared some of the plays are a bit too much. In a few theaters there are now benches. Often it is possible for the kids to talk and interact with the actors after the play. Food Brought food since I've read that it was expensive. Took a photo of the fika menu and uploaded it here. Environment Everything is placed in the forest with is left as untouched as they possibly could while still building a theme park. Parking There is a big parking lot close to the entrance. Shouldn't be a problem to find a spot and it's free. Other For us one day was enough to see most of the park

Very beautiful area, lots to do. A lot of construction going on om the site. They should spend some time updating the cabins. They were really outdated and falling apart. This is really not acceptable. Because of the location still 3 stars. Paying €8 per day to access the swimming pool is also a real no no.

Rafting: Although the staff were delightful and well prepared, the experience was rather disappointing. We weren't warned that we would have to drive for an hour to get to the spot when we booked. We had chosen the medium difficulty route, which turned out to be for beginners. On the whole route, there were maybe four/five very short sections with rapids, the rest was just paddling. Finally, the duration, intensity and length of the route were not worth the hour's drive mentioned above or the price charged. Not recommended.

Great ski resort for kids, has become more dirty since previous years, garbage laying around etc

A very family friendly ski resort. There are a good versions in slopes, from almost flat to support steep. It's big enough to accommodate for lots of guests. The downside are the quite old cabins, the restaurants are expensive, the food in the restaurants are not very fresh.

I falled in the love with get involved with the mountain forest. Amazing views and experiences everywhere. So many cool options and activities to enjoy. Nice supermarket, winter clothes shop and different restaurants. Accommodation for all tastes and needs.

Good place for skiing with long slopes. Downside is that it was quite windy and snowing and chair lifts dont have cover so it was quite cold when reaching the top.

Visited this resort with 200 students for a week... Fun experience. Cross Country skiing not as good as f.ex. Gaustablikk, but it was okay.

Big, beautiful nature reserve — totally worth the 2.5-hour drive. This was our third time here, and it’s always fun to see the waterfall in different seasons.

Fulufjället National Park is one of the most peaceful and unspoiled natural areas I’ve ever visited. The landscape is striking — from dense, ancient spruce forests to the flat, wind-swept plateau that stretches for miles. It feels like stepping into a different time. The highlight for many is the hike to Njupeskär waterfall, the tallest in Sweden at 93 meters. The trail is very accessible, with wooden boardwalks and gentle terrain, making it great for both families and casual hikers. As you approach the falls, the roaring sound and rising mist through the cliffs are absolutely breathtaking. If you have more time and stamina, hiking beyond the waterfall up onto the Fulufjället plateau is a must. The terrain becomes more rugged and wild, with sweeping views and a unique alpine tundra environment. Up there, it’s incredibly quiet — you might walk for hours without seeing another person. It really gives you a feeling of solitude and freedom. The park is also home to Old Tjikko, a clonal spruce over 9,500 years old — believed to be the oldest living tree in the world. It’s a humbling reminder of how ancient this place truly is. Trails are well marked, and there are plenty of signs and resting areas. I’d also recommend stopping by Naturum Fulufjället, the visitor center, for maps, information, and a deeper understanding of the park’s geology and wildlife. If you’re looking for dramatic scenery, fresh air, and a genuine connection with nature — Fulufjället is perfect. Bring layers, good boots, and your sense of wonder

A beautiful natural environment. Very easily accessible with wooden routes. Climbing the mountain needs good shoes and stamina though. The waterfall is spectacular!

Beautifully maintained national park. Quite busy at the start towards the waterfall. If you hike the big loop up to the waterfall, you have great challenging routes with exits over rocks.

10-12 minutes walk and you reach there… I went as close as 5 meters far from the waterfall. Best thing is either way you will get a round trip.

It is a wonderful place to bring someone you wish to enjoy a splendid scenery and wild bature with. The only thing that i feel saddens my heart is that as more people find their way here, the more crowded and littered with garbage it becomes. Foreign and sometimes domestic wanderers that do their needs to close or even on trails is just bad. I think that when natures treasures like this park becomes to accessable then it attracts more human presence than what is manageable. Cheers!

We visited in the month of August. The temperature is ideal for a hike. It’s an easy & peaceful hike for around 2:30hrs to & fro. You can park your car free of charge. There is a restroom at the entrance of the national park. To reach Njupeskär Waterfall follow the orange path. It’s best to visit during summer as the hiking trail is dry and you get to witness the nature at it’s best.

Nice place in the middle of nature. Waterfall not so big but lovely. Several tracks in the woods and along the river with information marks. Parking good for several cars. Tables and benches for lunch or fika stop. Waterfall in visible from parking spot, so not far walking at all.

This is where I asked my girlfriend to marry me. The location is beautiful and it's a must see, if you are near it! Hope you guys like it as much as we did.

There is something here for everyone, whether you just want to enjoy a nice hike, or want to see waterfalls, or even learn a lot about the landscape and how it was formed during the last glacial period. Several hikes are possible, 1km, 2 km, and 7 km. We walked the 2&5 km hikes. Very different but both incredibly beautiful and varying, from gravel roads, to nice walking trails, to walking on loggs along streams and over bridges, through valleys and over hills.

Such a beautiful place will always remember Brattfallet. Really recommend going there, a super cool experience and definitely not something you will forget. You can walk several hiking trails, one that is very difficult, one that is in between and one that should not be difficult at all, I chose the one that was in between, although it would be relatively easy that hiking trail was still very demanding and you had to walk on rocks, but that was still fun. Lots of blueberries, so if you plan to pick berries, I would really choose Brattfallet's forests/nature reserve. When I was there and looked at the waterfall, there were high cliffs probably 10-25 meters high, there was no protection at all, no fence or anything, So you really have to be careful and watch where you walk because the risk of falling is high. Overall it was a very beautiful place and loved every second I was there, really recommend.

Beautiful waterfall with many opportunities for hiking nearby. The parking lot is often crowded, but there are two more free sites where you can park in the immediate vicinity - just check Google Maps with satellite image. There is also a picnic area right next to the waterfall with several benches, tables and a fire pit.

An amazing adventure for the entire family! I can wholeheartedly advise everyone who likes to hike and climb along a river and waterfall to give it a shot.

Very impressive! Pretty crowded for Värmland standards, but not annoyingly crowded. Glad we took the time to visit. Also the hike (starting across the road) was pretty good. Some nice sights

Wonderful experience! The 2-hour tour was informative and fun – we even got to feed and pet the moose. This family-run park is a must-visit. Great value for money!

We really enjoyed this experience! A unique chance to get up close with moose and feed and pat them. James shared so much knowledge about the beautiful animals with us and was a very engaging presenter. Would really reccommend if you are interested in learning about the species

Great experiences here! Got a lot of information about moose. Visitors can feed moose, they come to the fence and you can pet them. Owner James is very kind and enthusiastic.

This is an azum experience, for 200 kr per person you get to feed and pat the mooses. The guide gives great information and presentation about the animals. Kid friendly, my friend had his 2 month in a stroller. We booked on the website for 10 persons, you pay when you get there. I recommend!

A wonderful experience where you get to know good insights about the life of a moose. My 10yo enjoyed feeding them with leaves and petting them. Book your visit in advance and pay at the park.

We are pretty excited about this place! We have learned a lot about Moose and their preferred habits. The guide is well experienced with Moose and and knows his beloved friends in every single situation. We were able to feed the Moose and give them hugs too. The kids were so happy cause the Moose were so kind to them. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Kind regards!

Very nice park. You can watch, feed and pet the moose. Furthermore the guide was awesome. He was explaining and talking with so much charme, fun and enthusiasm that it was very easy and entertaining to listen to him for some time! Thank you James, stay awesome!

We’ve had positive experiences with SkiStar Trysil. I hadn’t skied in over 12 years after tearing my ACL and meniscus, and the fear had stayed with me ever since. Booking a ski instructor was the best decision I could have made. The instructors were incredibly kind, patient, and highly skilled, making me feel safe and confident on the slopes again. My niece and nephew attended ski school, which turned skiing into a great experience for them as well – something we’re truly grateful for.

All your vacation activities whether summer or winter or fall or spring are just conveniently at your reach. This is a must visit place when in the Skandinavia. Good proximity as people just drive from across Europe especially Sweden, Danmark etc for holiday camping. Remember to buy your day pass tickets online to get it cheaper. There are good accommodation options from camping homes to first class resorts. Shopping centre is available right at the place in addition regular glossary shops like Rema 100, Kiwi are just 1.4km away in Trysil downtown or city center. One suggestion is to compliment the facilities with more modern ones with good finish even if it is to blend into and protect the natural environment.

Its only entrance and parking place if you dont live in Skistar village. Parking was always full. Lifts are too crowded. There is some bars and 2 ski shops.

Great ski resort with reasonably large amount of lifts and slopes. One of the largest in Norway. Good kid friendly /lifts/slopes at the bottom. Additionally some nice cafeterias to have lunch in between runs. Also located at a place where there's usually good snow conditions.

Fantastic ski resort overall. In some areas there are only T-bars instead of chairlifts, which I'm not very fond of

Absolutely amazing. High mountains, great slopes. And we had absolutely stunning sun. Almost no people around due to Covid. No problem to keep you distance. Felt totally safe

Skistar lodge offered comfort at all levels, beautifully presented, wonderful food and a fabulous outlook. A short scenic ride from the Scandinavian Mountains Airport allowed us to relax from touch down to the first lift. Excellent ski in ski out locker room facilities, wonderfully stocked ski hire shop with helpful staff. Although an uplift charge, the spa offered the perfect post piste relaxation station. The hotel staff were welcoming and extremely helpful. 10/10, we will be back.

Overall good experience. I would go again. Its not very relaxing much of the time though-between rain, mosquitos, and fighting eddies the days can sometimes be a bit much. Glad I did not bring a book, you must pay attention every second. I think its the perfect trip to take with a significant other to see if your relationship will last long term ;) Absolutely beautiful on the river, at night, and other non-mosquito/rain times. We booked food provisions and it was plenty of food. Nice to see what they thought we would want. I would bring backpacking meals next time instead of booking food (or maybe book 1 person worth of meals and the rest backpacking food/pasta and other easy meals). Food amount may have been perfect for other groups-but maybe a better way to estimate how much we need on the website would have been good. We also were not aware of the location change for the ending of the trip until we arrived-everything worked out and we got help to make sure we got on the right bus. So it all worked out! Maybe an email the week prior to reemphasize certain details and ending point would be beneficial.

Truly an experience you never forget - in the positive sense. Very well organized, friendly people and a sustainable, true outdoor experience. We did the 7 day raft tour as a family with kids between 6 and 9 that can swim - and we loved it.

Fantastic adventure with amazing landscapes which looked like it was from a fairytale! The staff was professional and friendly, they arranged bus transport to the starting point with necessary equipment. I can definitely recommend this place for an unforgettable hiking experience!

We booked a 7 day 100km timberraft tour. In comparison to last time the log piles at the building site were a little small, so sometimes it was hard to find the right size logs! Lownwater level on the river this time, but nevertheless so much fun and relaxation, floating, paddling and camping wherever you want.

In 2018 we booked a 8 day timber raft adventure. We had a great time. Vildmark i Värmland guided us well and taught us how to build a raft. Communication before the event was good and clear. We will be back in a couple of years.

We just came back from a four-day canoe trip on the Svartälven. The organization and communication with ViV was excellent. They also responded extremely quickly to spontaneous requests and had a solution for all problems. The area around Lesjöfors was wild, but more civilized than expected due to a main road following the river. However, we would definitely recommend the tour and the company to all adventurers.

Highly recommendable! It was an unforgettable team building experience for everyone, clean and comfortable cabins, the most hospitable staff, and above all: I appreciate how vegan friendly they were, I was amazed at the wonderful plant based options for every meal! The whole experience was just wonderful.

Big museum, full of artifacts, fantastic place outside to walk, take a brake, do whatever you please. Would recommend

Very informative and educating. The museum's exhibition design is very well done. I was impressed how much information was conveyed in a great variety.

A very nice museum covering the different aspects of forestry including hunting, fishing, etc. and the development / evolution in this sector over the years. The museum is ideally located next the river Glomma and beautiful surrounding. Week kept museum with very interesting indoor and outdoor exhibitions A fun and informative place about nature and culture for kids and adults. A very good restaurant on the premises. Worth the visit if you are around.

The collection of stuffed animals is impressive. The museum gives a huge amount of knowledge about everything that connects to forest: from nature to culture. Definitely a must see when you are around. I'd say 3 hours sightseeing should be enough. If there only were some nice souvenirs in the museum shop: I couldnt find anything special for gifts :/

amazing experience

Very nice and modern museum with a lot of different information about the forest of Norway and the animals. It is so big, that you can get lost.

Exelent museum to spend a few hours. In this museum you can find exibits about -forestry -wood industry -hunting -fishing -trapping -animals living in norway -plants in norway We had a good time in there. In the outside part of the museum is a big playground for children.

Great shopping centre with many shops. Cheaper than Norway. Plenty of parking.

Best mall in Varmland. The toilets both male and female were smelly😅.

I have been happy with the mall itself, but the security guards there are terrible!! I was dropping off my wife, and immediately he parks his cars infront of me and writing down my license plate number. Last time at the NORD location, he came up behind me and honked his horn, just so he could park there himself.. I guess it's okay for the security guards to park and leave their car where ever and leave it there.. But for youre customers, no way... I feel that should be take care of, how can they act like that? So next time I will be driving around instead of stopping at the sideline.

Nice shopping center, everything is there, only missing IKEA

Just about everything can be purchased there, less expensive than Norway but less so than last year

Big, clean chopping center, pretty expensive.

Where shopping gets to the next level with many boutiques. Enough offers for all in a very spacious and convenient environment.

Surprisingly good. We had a guided tour, but unfortunately we had too little time at the museum. I'll have to come back later. If you're planning to go, do it on a clear day.

My favorite hotel in Norway. I’ve stayed here a bunch of times and I keep coming back. The rooms are sound proofed and the beds are comfortable. It’s a quite location with no road noise so you can have a window open at night for some fresh air. Best sleep I’ve had in a hotel in Scandinavia.

A very beautiful place. It offers beautiful views and the history of this place is also interesting. If you have the opportunity to visit here, I recommend doing so.

Very nice little fortress from about 1680. Its possible to spend the night at the fortress hotel, eat and drink at the cafe. Enjoying the view over the Glomma valley and surrounding forrest. The restaurant boasts and amazing wine cellar and staff is very friendly

If you passing thru kongsvinger, you should definitely stop by and take a look at the view and maybe get something to eat 🤗

Worth detour ! Nice short walk inside with nice view, viewpoint

Slept one night at their hotel. Nice comfortable room for one. Had a good breakfast that was included. I'll probably revisit them to check out the fortress a bit better.

Great place to visit. Located in the forest with nature paths and natural cover in the trees. Facilities are excellent and staff super friendly and helpful.

Small and cozy place. The kids love that you are allowed to buy food and feed some of the animals

Small zoo. You can feed the animals! Well worth a visit. Bring your own food, thet have barbecues standing around. Or buy waffles and ice cream.

Very nice zoo, the animals have ample space and were very curious. Love that it's possible to feed some of them and the petting area was super nice. A great experience for kids, and the size is just perfect for a day trip.

Nice little zoo. It was great to see the animals in an open exhibit instead of a concrete enclosure. The staff was very nice. The animals come right up to the fence for great photos!!!

In may we have been surprised with partially closed setup (no monkeys, surikatas, closed road to other animals, etc.), no feeding and no contact with any animals. The same entrance price... It would be nice to know that ahead as otherwise it's a nice little zoo 🙂

Very nice zoo, located in a forest with a farm aesthetic. Makes it feel a bit less like you're at a animal prison. The zoo ends with a large playground and a BBQ area with a kiosk. Would recommend to bring some antibacterial wipes if you plan to eat there as the aren't many options to clean yourself after interacting with animals. Bring the kids.

Hello. Please introduce a rule for pool visitors to wear swimming caps! It's very disgusting when women's hair floats in the pool! This same hair then clogs the filter in the pool, keep this in mind! And please heat the water in the large pool, such cold water makes it unbearable to swim!!! In a small pool the water is warm, but a huge number of people and children gather in a small pool because of this it becomes very crowded and the water quickly becomes dirty and cloudy! Please fix all this so that me and my family can feel comfortable and pleasant coming and relaxing in this place! We pay money and not small sums for entry, so we want comfort and clean, warm water in a large pool, and without women’s hair.

We have been on a two week football tour around Norway with 17 young lads. Everywhere we have been everyone has been so accommodating except this Ankerskogen. They refused to let us in despite prior agreement for our contact to pay. We even offered to pay over the phone but the girl working there was having none of it. We intended to purchase treatments and lunch there - they have lost out on business. Sort out your customer service e

It is expensive for doing nothing. You can do it for free at home, believe me! Everywehre is closed. No matter if you maintain or something. I pay and I got nothing! Very good trade. I'll give you nothing, you give me money. I liked it.

The price of the equivalent of €30 for a community pool/spa is absolutely outrageous. I boycotted on principle alone. This is Norway at its absolute worst.

If you visit Hamar, I highly recommend you to go to the swimming pool. They have a great Sauna 65°/80°, Olimpic Swimming pool. Nice personal and a great place to go to relax. Good prices and a good place to spend your day.

Awesome place... very clean water in the swimming pool and clean changing room. A little expensive... but I'm from Italy, maybe it's right for Norway

Fantastisk velvære.. Need to do IT it the dark evening of winter... Ill be back

Although Domkirkeodden was closed for renovation during my visit, I still enjoyed experiencing it from the outside. The ruins, set against the serene landscape, carry a deep historical weight. I was particularly moved by their connection to the Reformation—this place serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of change and the sacrifices made for the values we cherish today. The way the ruins are protected with structured glass is especially symbolic—it shows a commitment to preserving history, ensuring that we do not forget the past. A meaningful site that invites reflection. Hope to visit again when it reopens!

It was an interesting place and our guide did an excellent job explaining the history on the site to us. The glass enclosure was a very resourceful idea and the acoustics inside were perfect.

Was nice, we could see the historic walls of the fort. Previously you were supposed to be able to go in the protective enclosure of the cathedral but birds broke the glass so we couldn't. You could still view it from the outside. There also is a small historic artifact museum in the museum. The area is a medieval fort and market that was blown up by the Swedes. (Darn YOU SWEDEN!) Definitely worth seeing and I hope they continue to improve the site as part of it is currently under construction. This was my 10 year old son's favorite site in Norway.

Its all very interesting but i dont like that you have to pay to get inside to see it (so we didn't). But it also looks quite cool from the outside. Theres also alot of field, old houses and a mini 'beach' around it. Lovely views. Theres parking outside where you normally have to pay but it wasnt working when we went. There was also a mini truck with ice cream and waffles. I didnt see any toilets.

Beautifully preserved remains of the church. Great acoustics

Really cool and interesting place! Seeing the old ruins and connecting the history of the place is fascinating. The modern additions to the building bridge the modern with the ancient in a way that even though you know it's modern it doesn't detract from the history. My family very much enjoyed our visit here, and the walk to the railroad museum.

Over renovation, we couldn’t go inside the pyramid.

There are two ski jumping slopes. They were used in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. Now they are in regular use, mostly in winter competitions and practice. In summer they have ski lifts that take you up for the views, and the views from the top are amazing. There's a small shop which has gifts and snacks. It's very close to the town of Lillehammer.

🥇 Lillehammer hosted the first “eco-friendly” Olympic Games in history During the 1994 Winter Olympics, Lillehammer became the first host city to focus heavily on environmental protection: • all venues were built to minimize damage to nature; • the Olympic Village used eco-friendly materials; • the city planted tens of thousands of trees to compensate for its environmental impact. That’s why the 1994 Games are often called “the most environmentally friendly Olympics ever.” 🌲🏔️

30 minutes on foot from the city center. Two ski jumps with 936 steps leading to the top. It’s worth going because the view of the Lillehammer area is stunning.

Definitely a place worth visiting in Lillehammer. Full of sports nostalgia and stunning views. From the town center there’s a long uphill walk to the spectator area, and from there about 900 steps to the top of the ski jump. In August 2025 the chairlifts were not operating. Descending the stairs is not recommended if you’re afraid of heights.

We didn’t know what to expect from visiting this site & was even going to skip it. Glad we didn’t, it was fascinating to see how steep & far the jumps went & it’s one hell of a climb to the top, but the views are worth it.

This is the Ski Jumping Arena of the 1994 Winter Olympics. We stopped here for a quick visit and enjoyed the view even without climbing to the top of the run. The lifts weren’t operating and we didn’t have enough time to climb up to the top of the run.

Same as my other review for the top viewpoint. Amazing and worth it!

A very interesting museum in a lovely location. Our guided tour was excellent but we felt a little rushed; we would have liked just a little more time in the house. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. There are free lockers for your bags and a nice cafe. Try the Suksessterte (success cake)!

Visit the birthplace of independent and democratic Norway. Only on guided tours, running every hour - in English once a day. The tour is a bit expensive, but it's a beautiful house and I definitely learned more about Norwegian history. Very nice cafe.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Museum Eidsvoll 1814, and we are really grateful for our guide. His enthusiastic and engaging tour made our experience truly remarkable. He answered all our questions with patience and depth, making the history accessible and fascinating. His passion was so infectious that even our 6-month-old baby seemed captivated! Thank you once again for this wonderful experience. We highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in history, and we wish the museum continued success in sharing Norway's heritages.

Eidsvoll Manor, located at 30 minutes by car from Oslo, is the place where the Constitution of Norway was signed in 1814. The building was first constructed ca. 1770. As it stands today, the manor is the result of an extensive renovation and modernization in the years around 1800 by Carsten Anker. In 1814, the Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17. The Manor can be visited nowadays and within the location you can serve a frugal lunch consisting of sandwiches, muffins and waffles. Also, there is a souvenir shop in the cafeteria where you can buy various objects from umbrellas to quill pen, similar with the one that the Constitution was signed.

The monumental place for modern day Norway. Buildings and surrounding are very well preserved. Quiet place with a small park to walk and relax, which is kinda unique in this part of Norway. Shame that Norway is funding schools and other cultural buildings and events around the globe but can't find a way to make fee-free entrance to such a monumental museum in own courtyard.

Eidsvoll 1814 has been on my wishlist of places to go for about four years. That is when I learned that my 3x great grandfather was one of 112 Eidsvollmenn who drafted and signed the Norwegian Constitution. After booking a 12-day tour to "Majestic Norway" a couple months prior, I then arranged for a tour of Eidsvoll 1814 to learn more about my paternal ancestor and the place he traveled to over 200 years earlier to change the course of Norwegian hisory. The very afternoon that I landed and deplaned in Oslo, I boarded a train to Eidsvoll Verk then a public bus to Eidsvoll 1814. When I arrived on the site of the ironworks, tour guide Mikaela was just finishing up with a group so I sat in the contemporary Kafe Standpunkt, which overlooks a waterway, to rest and enjoy a beverage. Upon entering Eidsvoll Manor (built circa 1770), Mikaela and I put booties on over our footwear to protect the floors of the historic building. From there, Mikaela guided me room to room and floor to floor while talking about the history of Eidsvoll and the purpose of each room. She also told me a few stories about my 3x gg who was a farmer and served as sheriff of Valle in Setesdal for 50 years. The furnishings and overall decor in the main part of the house are sumptuous. The servants' quarters are plain but, except for the noise from the old Ironworks, it was a large, comfortable home for those who worked and lived there. Visiting Eidsvoll 1814 was a highlight of my first visit to Norway. Thank you to all the staff who helped make my dream come true.

If you want to learn about Norwegain history then you can come. Peace and beautiful

Attended Lillehammer live on the grounds of the Olympic park and had a great time. Facilities are well maintained and plenty of parking out front. Not a lot of outside rain cover but otherwise a good time.

Great time at this venue get the chair_lift up and walk down

Very beautiful🌟💫 there are no words to describe🫶

Perfect

Okay

Ski Museum 🎿

Incredible

Fantastic afternoon of walking and discovering the area! You could spend hours here, so wear walking shoes! Even have a picnic or grab a meal in the cafe. The indoor exhibitions are just as great as the outside exhibitions. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Beautiful village but also a bunch of other random indoor museums inside. Its not as interactive as it could be, but still great to see. I didn't have kids with me but there seemed to be a few indoor play areas with toys and outdoor. Uneven walking around the edges on paths but big wide paths as well!

Possibly one of the best Museums I've ever been to. It's a large complex of multiple museums and open air exhibits spread over a vast area. It took me 5 hours just to rush through most of the stuff while skipping much.

Sprawling museum with a variety of exhibits, both indoor and outdoor. Reasonable admission price based on how much there is to see. Well maintained facility and grounds, helpful map provided on how to navigate.

Here’s the translation: ⸻ The museum itself is great! Interesting outdoor exhibits, but the opening hours policy is poor – from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We didn’t manage to thoroughly see all three museums. In the end, we rushed through the Olympic one and didn’t have time to calmly buy souvenirs. Also, many outdoor objects were closed. All in all, good, but it could have been better. It gets crowded from 11 onwards because organized groups arrive as well.

Our group of 9 attended a wonderful guided tour of a historial Norwegian farm, which is smaller than a town but larger than a one family living area. The typical home includes a centrla fire area in a wooden structure. The schoolhousr is several school benches with long writing desks for students of all ages where they learned religion and reading. The central church is closed today. The excellent guide even gave us a school lesson on the small blackboards. As we headed to the interior museum, we passed by a gift shop with scarves, Norway souvenirs, journals with Norway decor, and of course, Trolls, trolls, and more Trolls. JaBaDaBaDo toys are 5% off. The inside museum shows the history of the resilent Norwegian throughout history. A special exhibit open until November highlights dance in Norway, including folk dances, swing dance, ballroom, tango, rap, hip hop with a don’t-be-shy interactive opportunity. The attention to historic events and their role in Norway’s path to a stronger nation. The years of German occupation, changing relations with other Scandinavian nations, and immirgation are summed up in displays and videos. All videos and signs are in Norwegian and many in English. Signs are legible and readble. The section that pays tribute to UNESCO sites is impressive with intention to preserve the world’s environment. Excellent museum that gives a memorable summary of Norway and Norwegians.

This is an amazing museum with well preserved buildings sharing the history of life in Norway. We only had time for The Rural Area and wished we were able to see the Town and Residential areas as well. But, it was incredible and beautiful. We even got to see inside the old buildings and how they were furnished. The grounds are beautiful. We learned how the museum was thought of and built as well as how people lived a very long time ago! The museum is over 100 years old!! This is a must-see while in Lillehammer and make sure you allow plenty of time to see the whole thing, including the Olympic Museum (included in your admission).

I was issued a fine of 1200 NOK even though I did everything according to their instructions, but their system was lagging to charge my card. Scanned my card at the entry, tried to scan it at the exit, didn't work, got issued a fine for supposedly not having a ticket, the inspector didn't want to look or listen that my card was reserved but not charged yet, even when there were witnesses that confirmed everything, he just issued a fine. Very pleasant experience.

This was amazing travel from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station - I am railway enthusiast from Poland and found this travel emotional and extremely interesting, especially because of high speed - 210 km per hour. Journey to Oslo Central Station lasts exactly 22 minutes! I am also very grateful for the highest quality of services of train crew, so as supporting staff of Flytoget at both stations. They are ready to answer all questions, also from railway enthusiasts:), like me. Flytoget high speed trains go every 10 minutes, and it makes this way of travelling not only the most time-saving, but extremely interesting. I am very sensitive on safety procedures, and I found these applied at Flytojet as the most restrictive, which makes passengers' journey safe, quiet and comfortable. At each pair of seats in the train everybody could read safety instructions, written both in Norwegian and English, in very simple way (with drawing of train scheme). It is only one sheet of thick paper, but information are written on both pages, in very quick way. Electric sockets are double in every two seats, so there is no issue to use it for our electrical appliances. It was great pleasure to use Flytoget high speed trains during my visit to Oslo. I recommend this highest quality services not only to travel enthusiasts, but all passengers who are interested in the best and time-saving way of travelling. Thank you Flytoget team for your excellent job! See you next time!

There was no warning at the kiosk when I bought my TRAIN ticket that the trains weren't running. Instead, they shuffled us into an overcrowded bus that took forever to load and slowly made its way downtown. For this clearly substandard service they reduced the price by nothing. Next time, I'll find a better way to town. This was pathetic.

Very comfortable, and very easy access to make your way from Oslo's international airport to Oslo's center. Ticket's cost around 240 NOK

HORRIBLE!!! I bought the tickets to go and come. On my way back, they simply canceled the trains, there was nothing written in the station. I had to get a cab otherwise I would miss my flight. Now they blame me because there was a buss going from another station (not the one I was departing from and had the tickets already), and I did not get it! Avoid it if you can! :(

As others reported, it happened to me that the trip that was supposed to be made by train was performed by bus, considerable slower and less comfortable. Although the bus was nice and perfectly suitable, there was no previous warning or discount. Other bus services offer the same for smaller price. I was going to rate Flytoget as a 3 stars but after reading that what happened to me it's common, I can only rate it as a 2 stars.

Just arrived at Oslo airport from Oslo using flytoget and it was really good, purchased ticket from the station no problem, boarding and train journey was easy and fast. Will definitely use again if visiting Oslo.

The slides and pools were great and fun for kids, but we felt the spa options were quite limited—especially for toddlers. Hairdryers were weak, so it's a good idea to bring your own. Sauna choices were fewer than expected, and the showers felt a bit awkward. Since we visited during the holidays, it was very crowded, and the changing rooms were often messy—understandably, as not everyone cleaned up after themselves.

Always nice place for a bath. The options in pools is great and should have something for everyone :) Food is also good.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. Clean water, tidy place and neat everywhere. More than 5 separate pools for different ages and activities. Jacuzzi and sauna also present. With Bigger slides for adults and smaller slides for kids. Parking, Cafeteria, advanced locker and shower area, they do sell swim suit, cap, Goggles and flipflops. But less staffs and unable to contact them at ease. Overall excellent place.

Great place to visit with families, swing, eat, relax, spa. Much fun for the kids. Nice service. Like the new lock system. No need to bring own lock. You might have problems if you forgot something and need to exit building due to the new lock. But not a problem. The price is a bit high for a family to visit, unfortunately. Go a bit later to avoid crowded guests. Will be back☺ hope they will set the price lower for families.

I was disappointed to visit this swimming pool. The whole complex looks rather old, not modern at all, starting with lockers and showers, to the three tube-slides and the pool itself, with not very clean and clear water, no tiles on the walls or bottom of the pool. Lots of children visiting the pool (main one, unfortunately) and jumping into it from the springboards and the diving tower, making a lot of noise and blocking all lanes but ONE for those who want to swim. After kids are gone, still only two lanes are available for swimming. The two saunas (one dry and one damp) do work, but again, are old-fashioned and not really pleasant to visit. There is a nice warm-water small pool and a Jacuzzi outdoors, worth recommending, though.

Honestly best pool for kids and grow ups, i haven't found such fun pools in Oslo area, everything you need they have, highly recommend to try at least once with family.

A very, very bad, disgusting, terrible service. The entire area is run-down and neglected. They charge a lot of money. Half of the equipment doesn't work. The foot baths often don't work. There are often technical issues. Things are often closed. I do not recommend it. Very bad service.
