Norway, mountains, crisp snow: why not experience winter as described in fairytales? On this 5-day winter adventure, travel to Jotunheim – the home of Giants – and explore the highest mountain range of the country. On dog sleds, snowshoes, and with our snow coaches, winter in Norway doesn’t necessarily need to be cold and boring! We thought about you, beginner novice of Amundsen!
