Find family adventures

...along the road! The Fairytale Finder app is a super handy tool that will make your next family holiday in Norway so much easier. It helps you find fun family-friendly places to stop and cool activities on the way. Don't miss out on Norway's hidden gems – this app is like having a local guide right in your pocket!

The grown-ups can discover new adventures both before hitting the road and during the trip. And the best part? You can plan it all directly in the app. It's easy to transfer your tailor-made journey to your preferred map service and have directions along the way.

Stay safe: never use a device while driving. If you're using an iPad or a tablet, make sure it's secured properly when the car is in motion!

What about the kids?

There's something for the kids too! Once the route is set on the app, pass your device to the kids and let them play their way through Norway.

They can catch virtual trolls and animals directly from the back seat, or play fun games like memory challenges and quizzes. It's perfect for keeping them occupied during long drives. Who knows, maybe they won't even ask the dreaded question: are we there yet? (but we can't guarantee that - they are kids after all!).

Norway is full of adventures big and small, so let your imagination wander and give your family the leading roles in your very own Norwegian fairytale.

A magical holiday awaits. The adventure starts on Fairytale Finder!
