The village of Fagernes

Go on holiday with children and find a child-friendly hotel at Risskov when you travel to Norway. Drive to Valdres and visit its village centre in the heart of Valdres. It has shops, a cultural centre and a popular theatre scene. Valdres Folkemuseum is within walking distance of the Fagernes centre, where you can spend many hours.

Several festivals are organised every year around the Fagernes. For example, the Rakfisk festival in November. In the summer, the Jørn Hilme folk music festival is held in Fagernes, and has been celebrated since the 1960s. You can also experience Valdres Summer Symphony, Bitihorn Classic, Vinjerock and Trollrock.

The village is located in a beautiful landscape by Neselva among mighty mountains. Here you will find plenty of opportunities for mountain hiking.

Fagernes is also known for its fishing opportunities and has several times hosted world championships in fly fishing and casting. So there are also great opportunities for an active holiday for the whole family on a wonderful self-drive holiday to Norway.
