On the drive back to Oslo from the north, I planned a few hours in Lillehammer to explore this Olympic host. Although that was back in 1994, the Lysgardsbakkene Ski Jumping is still in operation today, and during the summer for training. Climb the long staircase beside it for a nice view of the surrounding mountains.
Back in the city, there is a pedestrianized shopping street along the Storgata with many wooden buildings preserved through time.
