Take your team on an unforgettable adventure with activities like hiking, rafting and dog sledding in Norway's stunning nature. Our conference destinations are happy to create a tailor-made team-building programme for your business meeting, corporate event or company party. Here are a few suggestions, based on what other teams have experienced.
Incentive programmes in Norway
A journey through Norway's history in Oslo
Follow in the footsteps of Norway’s great explorers, artists, and writers. Discover the legacy of the Vikings and marvel at their more than 1,000-year-old ships, learn about the pioneering expeditions that reached the North and South Poles, and experience the worlds of cultural icons such as Edvard Munch and Henrik Ibsen. Explore the stories, achievements, and creativity that have helped shape Norway’s identity through the centuries.
What else can you do with your team in Oslo?
- From the fjords to the mountains, start the day with a sauna and fjord dip in central Oslo, then take the metro to the mountains for skiing, sledding, or snowboarding in winter. In warmer months, enjoy forest adventures like ziplining or abseiling in the mountains.
- Host a Nobel prize dinner in Oslo, home of the Nobel Peace Prize since 1901. Treat your delegates to an authentic Nobel menu served on special Nobel tableware and let them take home a personalized menu as a unique souvenir of the experience.
Fjord extravaganza in Bergen
How about a visit to magic white caves, a cruise along the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord with a visit to a small farm, and a ride on the Flåm Railway? For lunch, you can tuck into a BBQ buffet with local delicacies. Finish the day in a helicopter over mountains, fjords, glaciers and valleys. This is no doubt the most exciting way to experience Norwegian nature!
What else can you do with your team in Bergen?
- Incentive program ideas include a trip to Mount Fløyen, a visit to Troldhaugen, where the composer Edvard Grieg lived, and an art tour where you get to see works by Edvard Munch and other artists.
The mighty Preikestolen in Stavanger
Give your meeting an edge by inviting your team on a fjord cruise under the mighty Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) along the Lysefjord. This astonishing rock formation has been listed as one of the world's most spectacular views and natural attractions by Lonely Planet and CNN GO travel magazine.
Adventurous teams can do a combined boat and hiking tour that takes around eight hours (available in June, July and August).
Where else can you take your team in Stavanger?

Arctic nature and culture in Tromsø
Just an hour east of Tromsø, the Lyngen Alps impress with 1,800-metre-high peaks rising from the Arctic Ocean. In summer, the midnight sun paints activities like canoeing, diving, glacier hiking and mountain biking in a golden shimmer. During the winter months, you have excellent chances to see the northern lights as you try dog and reindeer sledging or give snowmobiling a go!
What else can you do in Tromsø?

What else can you get up to in Bodø?
- Have your business dinner, party, kick-off or any other event in a lavvo, a traditional Sami tent.
- Explore the beautiful island of Kjerringøy, an old trading post that is known for its diverse countryside and open air museum. Try activities like bread baking (and tasting) or boat building, or enjoy a music performance.
Be a rock star for a day in Trondheim
At Rockheim, Norway’s national museum for pop and rock music, you can experience what it's like to be a rock star. Create your own band together with local artists and enjoy performances on stage during event dinner. All parts of the museum will be used.

Inhale the Viking spirit in Haugesund
Located in Western Norway, the Haugesund region is a hidden gem for incentive trips, blending rich Viking history with modern adventure and beautiful nature. At Avaldsnes, Norway’s oldest royal seat, you can immerse yourselves in Viking-themed challenges and cap it off with a grand Viking feast. For an added thrill, embark on a high-speed RIB boat ride through the picturesque coastal islands, before visiting "The Viking Planet," an interactive digital museum in Haugesund city centre.
