Norway: the natural choice – Visitnorway Meetings

Unspoilt meeting venues

Norway boasts modern conference venues close to nature and a wide array of incentive activities that make for truly memorable meetings. If you are looking for an event guaranteed to inspire, invigorate and re-energise, you will find that Norway is a natural choice.

Northern lights

The northern lights are a common natural phenomenon in Northern Norway, and are most often observed above the Arctic Circle between late autumn and early spring. Take your event to Tromsø or the Lofoten Islands and give your delegates a truly great nature experience.

Midnight sun

The sun does not set in summer over the Arctic Circle, meaning visitors to Northern Norway enjoy 24 hours of daylight this time of year.

Climate

The weather in Norway is much milder than you might think. Because of the Gulf Stream, temperatures along the coast of Norway are 5-8°C higher than at comparable latitudes elsewhere. You can experience the Norwegian coastline on board the legendary Hurtigruten ships, which also have modern conference facilities.

Fjords

Norway is famous for its fjords, two of which – the Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord – feature on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Sognefjord, the longest of them all, and the Hardangerfjord, famed for its cherry and apple trees, are among the most visited. Discover the fjords by organising your meeting in one of Norway's most popular fjord destinations: Bergen or Stavanger.

Winter activities

Norway is a real winter wonderland, and there is no shortage of winter activities to choose from for those looking to organise an exciting incentive programme. These include skiing (alpine, cross-country or Telemark) and snowboarding, but also snowkiting, ice climbing, ice fishing, ice skating, dog sledding and reindeer sledding. The UNESCO-listed town of Røros is a particularly picturesque winter destination.
