Cultural and sports events

Norway is a renowned host of international winter sports events, but international federations have discovered that there is much more to this Scandinavian destination than long ski slopes. Numerous music, food, and other cultural festivals also take place here every year. As a leading force within sustainability, many Norwegian events strive to minimise their impact on the environment.
