| | Travel Tips Of Norway |
 | | Away from the immediate city center, the Holmenkollen ski jumping complex with its Museum of Skiing is popular, as are the 12th-century Cistercian monastery ruins on Hovedøya, a short boat trip from the harbor. |
 | | Central southern Norway, comprising Oppland and Hedmark, is a land of mountains, spectacular glacial valleys, including Gudbrandsdal (one of Norway’s longest and most beautiful), and high plateau. |
 | | Lightly populated throughout, apart from the larger centers of Elverum, Hamar, Kongsvinger and Lillehammer (site of the 1994 Winter Olympics), this is a region of small settlements suitable for those seeking solitude and wilderness – or winter sports facilities. |
