A really neat little gallery tucked away in Kautokeino. Beautiful Sami displays, showing a connection to the land. Such a warm and welcoming place away from the bitter February cold outside. Also, I’m not sure what his name is, but i feel like visiting just to meet him again! 🐱

The beautiful and unique gallery is the embodiment of the legacy, the story of how the Juhls came to Norway and decided to build their family and life in Kautokeino. The spacious gallery now displays artwork and jewellery crafted by their family and apprentices throughout the years.

Beautiful and uncompromising piece of the golden design era of Scandinavia. Living artist home, gallery and workshop. Old owners still work there every day. I would say that the unique place has only one sister site in the world (as far as I know) - Frank Lloyd Fright's Taliesin West in Scottsdale! A must see.

Three Country Cairn

Mentioned on

Wildlife refuge
Sights & Landmarks
The Three Country Cairn, located at the meeting point of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, is a significant symbol of unity among nations. This unassuming stone monument marks the spot where you can freely walk from one country to another. The trek to reach this cairn involves a three-hour drive along the Finnish border and a 26km hike through diverse terrains, offering scenic views typical of each country. The well-marked trails make it easy to navigate through the stunning landscapes.
Breath-taking journey from Kilpisjärvi to the spot where the three northern Kingdoms unite! A definite must-see, something very special reminding us of the history and bond between our neighbouring countries ❤️
Iines P — Google review
It's been my dream to visit the cairn. This is where borders of Norway, Sweden, and Finland meet. The wonder of being in three countries at once is memorable in itself. Recommend either visiting in spring or just before onset of winter. Starting from Kilpisjärvi, Finland, the hike alone is worth it with the splendid views and scenic nature all around. I'd recommend bringing plenty of water and snacks to enjoy the nature here as one would have no idea how the hours just slipped by also do carry your first aid kit.
Vikrant C — Google review
Treriksröset, the “three-country cairn,” marks where Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet. The area is surrounded by beautiful nature, and the cairn itself sits on Lake Golddajávri, connected by a short 10-meter metal walkway. Nearby, on the Finnish side, you’ll find two huts – one of them free to stay in overnight, no booking needed. There are several hiking trails, some quite demanding. Keep in mind that camping isn’t allowed in much of the Finnish side (north-east), as it’s a nature reserve, but it seems fine on the Swedish side. And if you’re visiting in the warmer months – don’t forget mosquito repellent!
Albert K — Google review
Really nice place and views along the trail are awesome. Hike is about 12 kilometers on one way, so you should be really well prepared for this hike.
Ville A — Google review
A very nice and short hike to your place, about a 30-minute walk if you take the boat. If it has rained, boots can be good but not necessary, and mosquito repellent is recommended.
Anders N — Google review
Stunning location to visit all three counties at the same time. Norway, Sweden and Finland borders. Temperatures extremely cold on our snowmobile visit -30 🥶 We used kilpisjarvi safari and went as a group of over 20 people. Well organised trip with all your gear provided. Be sure to have hand and toe warmers. Also, thermals are a must !
Kim S — Google review
FINOSE: Finland on left foreground, Sweden on the left background and Norway the (almost) whole right part of the pic. If you are mad about countries borders and where three of them meet AND you happen to find yourself in this area: this is a very good, nice and easy one to get! The cairn is just a round block of cement yellow painted with the marks of the countries, but the area around is also a beautiful example and mix of the kind of nature this part of the world is made. TO GET THERE: I had two options. One is - I was told - 6 hours 15km almost flat but very long trail from the latest parking area on the Norway side just before the border or after it from another trail starting point. The second in the summer - that I took - getting close via a boat service from 69.047326, 20.794309 (Kilpisjärvi). With the boat ticket, the crew gives you some explanation of the area, you get a nice view from the lake and, most important, the walking part is then less than an hour, less than 4 km on a flat path anyone, even unfit like me, can make. You are given about 2 hours once the boat get to the endpoint, before it sails again back to Kilpisjärvi. In the period I visit it (June 2024) there were only two timing: at 10 and 15 (Don't forget the CEST-EEST time change if coming from Norway!). You want to show up some few minutes in advance just to get in line to board. Card payment was possible on board. The boat won't sail if there aren't at least 5 persons. It was Sunday afternoon when I got there. The receptionist of my camping told me that more or less they always run, there was never too few passengers nor a too crowded moment in that. If you want to mix the options there is also a one-way ticket. Look for Mallalaiva website "three-country-cairn". I was lucky the day was little dry, but the ground can get muddy and wet, so you'd better not to risk going there with just flip flops. Also in some period flies and mosquitos are the real problem. I was advised to buy a head-mosquito-net. Didn't need that day, but long sleeves and keeping my mouth shut helped a lot.

If I could give 6 stars I would! An absolutely incredible day from the pick up from town in a comfortable van by Aaron right to the end. It was a stunning hour drive to the farm and with some really quick and clear instruction by Anna we were out on the dogs in no time. After a long and beautiful run up and down hills we returned to the house for lunch and to get to know our hosts. They were kind and friendly and taught us all about the dogs and life as a musher. We loved that it was a small group of only 8 and out in the mountains meant our tour went ahead on a stunning blue sky day whilst many larger tours were cancelled. Do not hesitate to book with Northern Light Dog Adventures! Thank you Thomas, Aaron and Anna!

So many german reviews so i write one in english - not my first language so please be kind. Now the actual review: That was absolutly awesome! We pre booked another Tour from another company but it got cancelled on us last minute because of the autum rain. So we decided to book one day before having this Tour and cakled about cancelation but they were like: we don't cancel unless there is a hazard warnung. Eventhough it was raining cats and dogs it was an absolute Highlight of our Trip! They Provide you with warerproof Equipment, so don't worry about a thing. The dogs want to run and are super friendly, as well are the owners. We had such a great time and hope to return in Winter with snow :)
Viv G — Google review
Completely exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our trip to Tromso! The whole service; from the explanations, conversation, extra clothing, teas and coffees after the sledding was absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed how you could ride yourself and it wasn’t just on flat ground, you were going up and down hills as well. Such an adventure, I will carry this memory with me for the rest of my life! Everyone in the family is so lovely also.
Iris D — Google review
We had such a great time on this tour. It's a small norwegean family business tucked away in the mountains. So no tourist trap. Even though it snowed a lot we could drive the sled for one hour. What an amazing feeling being out there with these lovely dogs and driving the sled by yourself. Uphill you need to help them a bit so you need to have a little bit of fitness. The mountains around, just stunning. I can recommend it to anyone!!! It's an experience you'll never forget in your life.
Jules P — Google review
Fantastic experience, authentic and beautiful location. Tomas and team keep it simple and make it memorable. The dogs are the stars of the show! Don’t forget to take a lunch and wear comfortable clothing - but good quality oversuits are provided. This is a small family business and well worth supporting - they’re the best!
Nick W — Google review
Fantastic! Exceeded all expectations. The team was great and we learned a lot about the sport. Everything was well prepared and ready to go before we arrived. They had additional clothes and provided warm drinks for after the sledding. The dogs are super friendly and well cared for. Would definitely return to do this again!
Ben G — Google review
Northern Light Dog Adventure does an exceptionally well dogsledding experience. These guys take pride in providing a small group experience and when we went it was just my wife and I which was great because they were able to personalize the experience to suite us. We took the sleds through all types of different, beautiful and challenging terrain and even took us to create new trails! The dogs seem very well taken care of too. If you enjoy the "real" experience, small groups and don't enjoy the large tourist traps this is the place for you.
James D — Google review
This is a must visit place if you in the area. Thomas and his furry children made the ride smooth and worry free. Amazing views. Everything is well organized, instructions given were clear. Just use common sense, natural balance, control the speed and enjoy the ride.

Nutti Sámi Siida offers an authentic Sami experience with traditional gahkku and reindeer served in a teepee-like lavvu tent. Visitors can learn about Sami culture through informative signs and guided tours, as well as the opportunity to feed friendly reindeer. The on-site restaurant serves local recipes in a cozy setting, while the museum showcases various aspects of Sami life.
We had a wonderful experience here, the outdoor museum was informative, the cafe served delicious food and some unique handmade crafts were available to purchase. The highlight for my daughter was feeding the reindeer, and the nature beauty of the location was hard to beat.
Steve R — Google review
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.
Lea S — Google review
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.
Jacqueline G — Google review
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.
Eric F — Google review
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.
Somkietr R — Google review
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.
Indraneel B — Google review
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.

Mines
The LKAB Visitor Centre offers a captivating three-hour underground excursion, delving 530 meters below the surface. The tour provides insights into both historical mining practices and future advancements. Visitors are treated to an informative presentation on the iron ore excavation process and its impact on daily life. The experience includes seeing machinery in its operational environment, offering valuable context. Guests praise the well-organized tour, regardless of their initial interest in mining or technology.
I can highly recommend the tour through the mining! We had such a great experience here. The guides were very friendly and professional and told us many interesting things about the mine. We had also a coffee and cookie break :-) I was really impressed by the efforts lkab is making to make an impact for the climate while they are experimenting in making carbon free pellets.
Kristina S — Google review
Liked: - The enthusiasm and knowledge of the guide, Britt. She made the whole experience immersive. - The mining process, the costing, the transportation, Kiruna's changing environment, the transformations ongoing in the mining sector, etc. were explained in a way that even a layman can understand. - The giant machines, and the miniature train models are a delight. - A museum that shows the mining of yesteryears. Can be improved: - They can charge a bit more if they need it but for Heaven's sake, increase the duration of the actual mine tour. It is quite a bit of information, and I had to run back and forth to catch up with the guide and take pictures of the machines. - Include more tours, each focused on a different experience e.g: the current tour is good for overview but a tour to see an actual mining (without disturbing their professional operations) can be included. - Have a souvenir shop which can include miniature models of the mines, the LKAB locomotive. Overall, it is a must-do activity if you are in Kiruna or nearby.
Omkar J — Google review
The tour was very well structured, tough and informative as we had a very good tour guide. Obviously she is very engaged in the ore mine. But more time is needed to take up all the information on the billboards. It's a pity to be rushed through the museum as it is a very nice one.
Rudolfo K — Google review
Tour guide was friendly and sufficiently competent but had no deeper knowledge and spoke a bit too fast sometimes, as if on automatic. But the mine itself is incredibly interesting and just a massive operation. Good that tour included bus ride to the mine with some views of the ongoing move of Kiruna town.

This is one of the most interesting tours I’ve ever been on. You don’t need to be interested in mining or even the advanced technology that is used in there to enjoy this very well-organized tour. Learning the facts from the guide about the production process and how the iron ore excavated in Kiruna impacts everyone’s everyday life is absolutely fascinating. And being able to see the machinery in the exakt environment they’re used gives some really great context. I can highly recommend this tour.
Joakim R — Google review
A guided tour of the iron ore mine in Kiruna. Pick up by bus & guide at the tourist information centre and then driven underground to level 520 below ground zero. In there received a fascinating presentation about the history of the mine, the current situation and the future of the mining industry, Kiruna old town relocation. Verbal, physical, visual presentations made this a great trip, would highly recommend. The tour guide was brilliant who had a good sense of humour. About a 3 hour trip with refreshments underground about 2/3 of the way around the tour.
Paul E — Google review
Overall, the tour was nice. It started with short bus ride to the mine. Basically it is to visit inactive site of the mine. I feel in the end it was a bit rush and we didn't take so much time to visit the museum as many visitors had questions during the tour which required quite an explanation from the guide. May be they should consider spare more times in the future as I saw many similar comments from others as well.

The Kiruna Church, a stunning wooden church constructed in the early 20th century, is a remarkable example of Gothic Revival style with an art nouveau altar. It is one of Sweden's largest wooden buildings and was built to resemble a traditional Saami tent. The church was established due to the mining opportunities in Kiruna, home to one of the world's largest iron ore mines. Visitors praise its inclusive atmosphere for all religions and its unique decor featuring Sami symbols.
Beautiful church. Amazingly quiet and has a wonderfully rich wooden aroma. Nice and warm inside too. Definately worth braving the snow and cold to take a peek in!

This extraordinary wooden church measuring 35x35x35 m and weighing 600 tons is now soon ready to be moved in one piece along with the adjacent bell-tower to their new home in the cemetery of the city a couple of kilometers closer to the new center of Kiruna. We passed Kiruna during the first half of July 2025 and the transport of the church that will be done at a speed of about 0.5 km/h is scheduled for the 19th and 20th of August with the 21st as a reserve day. All hotels in town are already fully booked since a long time because the event attracts loads of people from near and far. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

Absolutely wonderful hotel! We booked an accommodation package and were thrilled with everything. The room was modern, spotless, and beautifully decorated, with a fantastic bathroom — but the real highlight was the stunning view! The staff were polite, helpful, and always smiling — they truly go above and beyond and definitely deserve a raise! Special praise goes to the kitchen: the buffet dinner was excellent, and the ox filet was cooked to perfection. Breakfast was also impressive, with a wide selection that can satisfy even the pickiest eaters. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel and give it a 5+ rating across the board!

Located on the Piteälven River, this powerful rapid stretches over 5 kilometers, with the main 1-kilometer section carrying up to 250,000 liters of water per second during peak flow. Around the rapids, well-maintained wooden walkways lead you through beautiful smaller waterfalls and side streams. At the bottom, the rapids meet the calmer river, where the Storforsen Hotel is located, offering comfortable rooms, a restaurant, sauna, and outdoor hot tubs. The hotel is also popular among car manufacturers testing vehicles in winter conditions. Nearby, there is a charming open-air church. In the upper area, visitors will find a large parking lot, a small store for snacks and souvenirs, many walking trails, and barbecue areas. In summer, temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C, while in winter it often drops below -20°C, creating spectacular ice scenery around the still-rushing rapids.

We (my wife and two daughters, aged 7 & 10) spend 3 days with Morgan - and the kids summed it up like this: "It was the best thing we've ever done!" Despite extreme weather conditions (-35 degrees Celsius) Morgan managed to make this an unforgettable experience. The well-being of his huskies and his guests is always his top priority - he meticulously plans each tour and adapts it to the age / condition of his guests. We were very professionally provided with warm clothing and he took such great care of our children that they were able to cope with the cold. The way he treats his huskies is amazing - the anti-commercial way. Of course he could do more tours per day and probably make more money, but for him it is more important that his huskies are not overworked and always have enough energy reserves to make the trip safely. And the huskies pay him back by being so kind and caring to the children. We have done husky tours in Finland and with another company in Sweden - but Morgan's way of doing it really stands out. We will definitely be back for many more tours with the one and only Morgan :-)!

Superb experience that you need to do at least once in your life! Morgan is such a great man and his dogs are super friendly! Everything was perfect: the first approach to the sleighs, the ride, the food. Suggested!

Amazing experience in a winter wonderland! We had a great day and dog sledding tour with Wild Lapland! Morgan offered us a very warm and friendly welcome. It was a magical experience, the landscape is really beautiful and the huskies are all so lovely and friendly. We enjoyed helping him to get the dogs ready with the harnesses at the begining and giving food at the end. We loved also the fika paus (coffee break) that Morgan prepared for us, it was really nice and tasty. We had an incredible experience that we won't forget! Tack så mycket för allting

Very nice pace if you like dogs and nature! In my opinion at Wild Lapland you have 3 elements for a perfect day: nice host lowing nature and animals, more than 30 dogs running around you, and a wonderful nature!

Our husky dog sledging tour with Wild Lapland and our guide Morgan was out of this world!! Morgan’s skill and friendly approach made our morning on the sledge a totally absorbing tour in which you feel at one with nature, with his dogs, with Lapland and with yourself. The clothing and gear that is including in the tour is of such a high standard. We went out with -35 degrees and the only thing that got cold were my hands when I took pictures! You might think the price of the tour is quite high but your not paying for a regular tour this is a life time experience that you’ll never forget! So authentic!

Zoo

Nice to experience. We went there Saturday during the winter and they are only open with reservation. I was able to book with them in their FB account. When we were there, the zoo is empty of people and saw that there are only 2 groups booked for that day. It was a very exclusive experience since virtually it was just us on the zoo so we were able to enjoy the place. And it's very interesting to see animals during the winter.
Michael G — Google review
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.

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.

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.

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.
Cleavon S — Google review
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.

Great swimming pool in a nice town, great slides. The jacuzzi should be warmer and what really needs attention is the showers. Been here twice and both times no soap in the dispensers, not even empty cartridge, and the temperature in the showers is not adjustable. The worst thing is both times the shower area and the area where you undress where not clean.

Local history museum
Museums
Jamtli is a captivating museum that offers a journey through local culture, spanning from the Viking era to native crafts and historic ways of life. Located just 1km north of the center, it comprises two parts: an open-air museum with meticulously reconstructed wooden buildings and enthusiastic guides in 19th-century period costumes, and an indoor museum housing the oldest European Overhogdal Tapestries and Christian Viking relics from AD 1100.
I went here in September and was pleasantly surprised by this museum. It was very large and had a lot of interactive exhibits for children and adults alike. I stayed for several hours and it was very cool to get to learn so much about this beautiful area.

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.

A network of slopes & lifts on 2 different mountains, with winter sports & a children's area.
Lots of lifts and a decent selection of slopes for skiers of all skill levels. Trail maintenance is done every morning. Ski rental is fast and professional. The cafes on the mountain tops are great and have wonderful views! At the beginning of some lifts there are houses to warm yourself and campfire sites to cook. Ski lifts usually operate from 9am to 4.30pm. A very nice place for a ski holiday!

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.

Orsa Grönklitt Björnpark is Europe's largest predator park located 16km north of Orsa, housing a variety of animals including polar bears, Kodiak bears, leopards, Amur tigers, lynx, wolves, red foxes and wolverines. The star attraction at the park are the fat-bottomed roly-poly bear cubs.
Very beautifully situated park with wild animals The park includes many large enclosures where the animals can feel at home. Nevertheless, you can experience boars, bears and others up close. The staff is friendly and we were able to learn interesting facts about the animals and their behaviour through their feedings. It was also noticeable that the animal keepers care deeply about their work with their animals. Highly recommended and very unique.

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.

Julia Z — Google review
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.

Fairy tale-themed park with costumed characters & reindeer, plus musical & theatrical performances.
A great experience! There is a schedule with different story lines to catch, and stages built around the compound. We walked through the compound, consisting of lush forest and nature, to watch theatre performances in unique stage platforms. Extra special with the characters and performers interacting with kids throughout the day. Note: performances in Swedish:)
Kien P — Google review
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.

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.
Bartłomiej C — Google review
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.

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.

Fulufjället National Park, located in the northwest of Dalarna county, is a newly designated park known for its vast lichen-covered landscapes and as the home of Old Tjikko, one of the world's oldest trees. The park features a stunning waterfall as its main attraction and offers well-maintained hiking trails with various color-coded paths to explore.
One of the best places I visited in my first Swedish summer of 2021. This is a great national park for a hike, walk or camping. Plan well and you'll have an amazing time.
Chirag S — Google review
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.
DAK — Google review
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

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.

SkiStar, Norge

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
SkiStar in Norge offers a range of services including ski lessons, tours, equipment rentals, and lodging options in a picturesque mountain area. The resort features the beloved snowman Valle as the main character in its children's concept, providing various fun activities for kids throughout the winter. While it may be smaller compared to other European resorts, SkiStar has its own unique charm and merits.
This was a great place for beginners. We had never skied before but thankfully there was lots of advice on hand and we could rent skis too. Sadly there were no places left for the ski school (book in advance if you can!) but our teens turned out to be naturals and had a blast on their own in the family area. The ski passes were very expensive since it was the start of the season and only two areas were open and we were given poor advice to start with. They have a centre which offers ‘tourist information’ and ‘guide’ services and as we had never skied before we were dependent on that advice. The guide knew we had never skied before but told us we would be fine on all the slopes that were open. At a cost of €350 who followed his advice. This was quite dangerous advice and thankfully they had a ski patrol who could rescue our stranded teens from the slope that wasn’t suitable for them at all🤦🏼‍♂️ Customer services were quite dismissive at first saying it was our choice but in the end did refund us some of the money recognising that for people who had never skied before only one area was really suitable and only a pass for that area was needed. So we give them credit for this and the excellent way they do maintain the area and offer support.

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.

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.

Branäs

Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Branäs is a family-friendly resort known for its downhill and cross-country skiing, as well as various activities for kids. Voted the best ski resort for families multiple times, it offers mostly easy slopes with just one black piste and a few red ones. The area boasts stunning views from Branas berg and hosts numerous children's events. Sol torget is recommended for convenient access to the slopes. With ample parking close to the lifts, it's easily accessible.
Branas is wonderful for families with children. As a family with varying levels of experience it’s the perfect place to ski, as many of the routes start and end at the same place with varying routes down. Our boys are 18 & 21 and they still have lots of fun. No bars or after ski, so this is the hot the place if you’re looking to party. For a short stays, families or those just starting out then this place is perfect.

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.

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.

I experienced a rebirth there, felt after going out that the world was most certainly less miserable. My body has never been treated this good while I was treated so nicely by the waiter. For around 25€, you have access to the spa, sauna hammam, hot seats, cold/hot rain showers, relaxation waterfall room, massaging bath, outside bubble bath, 7° cold bath, free coffee and tea, smiling and lovely crew... Don't be afraid by the first corridor to get to the changing rooms, it's just the purgatory before heaven! Bring your swimsuit and your towel and you're good to live a really nice moment!

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.

Domkirkeodden

Museums
Domkirkeodden is a captivating destination that beautifully intertwines medieval history with modern experiences. This outdoor museum showcases an impressive collection of historical buildings from Hedmark villages, alongside the stunning ruins of an ancient cathedral and bishop's castle, all sheltered under a striking glass structure. The atmosphere here is truly enchanting; I had the pleasure of attending a midnight concert that felt almost magical amidst the historic backdrop. Visitors can explore these remarkable ruins while enjoying various family-friendly activities in the surrounding park-like setting.
Today my father and I visited the Domkirkeodden. What a sight to see! To enter you have to buy a ticket for about 140 NOK. (€11,70) They have a great staff and you can see some of them walking in historical clothing which gives a nice touch in my opinion! Everything is behind glass for better preservation. Some items are even monitored with temperature and humidity meters. Also, they have information flyers in multiple languages. They have Norwegian, English, German and even Dutch which was perfect for my father. (We are from the Netherlands) I feel honored to have walked through the ruins of what was once a beautiful church! Thank you, people and staff for preserving and showing this amazing piece of history!
Michel T — Google review
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!

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.

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.

Nice to experience, a good variety of activities for kids. Updated 12/07/22 The experience was almost OK. There was a mishap and i expected it to be handled way better for a Park that charges over 50dollars per person for entry. Expensive, period! There are actually not that many rides in this park for people over 140. Don't bring bigger kids here expecting them to be able to have the best of rides available. For some rides you cannot go on with sandals...Wear sneakers, too much to ask really, especially in the summer tbh Funny thing is, we did go on them (unknowingly) but no one said anything. You also have to pay extra to go climbing. Best to go to Tusenfryd or Liseberg in Gøteborg to be honest!

Lysgårdsbakkene Hoppanlegg is a ski jumping center in Lillehammer, known for hosting top-tier athletic events throughout the year. Situated around 1.5km at the top of Lilyhammer, it offers a magnificent view of the lake below and holds historical significance as the site where the flame burned bright during the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Great little historical side stop on the way to wherever you are headed! We walked the 800+ steps to the top. The view was phenomenal! It was our first time seeing a ski jump in person so it was really interesting.

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.

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.

Very interesting place to visit. I was curious to find out the opening hours of it, but it turned out it’s open all year and day round - just be super careful at walking on very steep steps. Appears that locals use it as their stair challenge by climbing up. Otherwise, you get a great view over the town and opportunity to feel the Olympic spirit and what is it like to be a ski jumper. Highly recommend for visiting.

Open air museum
Sights & Landmarks
Maihaugen is a renowned open-air museum in Lillehammer, Norway, showcasing traditional Norwegian buildings that depict rural, urban, and home life from the 1400s to the present day. With over 200 buildings divided into the Rural Section, Historic Town, and Residential Area, visitors can immerse themselves in Norway's cultural heritage. Families with children will find it especially enjoyable. The museum offers a captivating journey through time and provides insight into Norwegian history and architecture.
I had a great time visiting Maihaugen—it's a fantastic place to spend quality time with family. This was my second visit in three years. The museum takes you on a journey through Norway’s cultural and architectural history, from old villages to modern towns. The actors at various locations were friendly and informative—we had a fun time chatting with them. Kids will enjoy the pools, ducks, and other animals around the area. It's a good idea to bring some snacks so you can sit and relax in one of the many scenic spots. They do have a cafeteria in there as well. The Olympic Museum and Postal Museum are also located within the same enclosure and are definitely worth a visit.

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 thought Flytoget was the perfect way to travel from Olso Airport and in to the centre. Simple, quick and into Oslo central in under 20 minutes. Hassle free travel every 10 minutes. Clean carriages and plenty of seats. Booked online, it was so easy. I paid 960NOK at the time of my booking (2no Adults return = 70GBP). Just checked its now 1008NOK (just a slight increase). It's well worth a look if you don't want to drive / UBER etc. I'll travel this way again if I return, no brainer. PCB 👌🏻

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.
