Hafjell
The alpine skiing venue for the 1994 Winter Olympics, one of Norway's largest ski resorts, which transforms into a popular mountain bike park in summer.
Hafjell is located in Øyer, about 15 kilometers north of Lillehammer. It hosted the slalom and giant slalom events of the 1994 Winter Olympics. Today it has more than 30 ski runs and several lifts, with a total vertical drop of about 830 meters, suitable for skiers of all levels. There is also a children's area and cross-country trails. In summer, the lifts keep running, and the Hafjell Bike Park offers several downhill routes, making it one of the most popular bike parks in Northern Europe. You can also ride the lift up the mountain to hike. It takes about 20 minutes by bus or car from town.
