Up Norway Brings Arctic Winter Experiences to Families with New Spring Break Journey

In Norway, family travelers can expect an ideal alternative to crowded beaches and standard resort destinations. Now, a travel agency specializing in Norwegian travel launched a family-friendly itinerary to experience the country in winter.

Norway’s Winter Magic from Up Norway is a six-day journey filled with snow-covered mountains, exciting fjords and Norwegian hospitality. On this trip, families will experience the very best of late winter in the North, complete with longer and brighter days, mild snow conditions, and a sense of calm. Travelers will get an inside look to how Norwegians approach winteR: unhurried, welcoming and deeply connected to nature.

The trip begins by choosing between two mountain destinations along the famous Bergen Railway.

Geilo, ideal for families with young travelers, offers a charming alpine village with luxury slopes, cross-country trails, dog-sledding adventures and the Norwegian spirit of Kos (coziness, contentment and simple pleasures).

Or, for more of an adventurous trip, opt for Finse. On this trip, travelers explore the high-mountain wilderness only accessible by train. The remote, glacier landscape, a filming location for the icy planet in Star Wars, gives teens and older travelers the chance to feel like true explorers with activities like ski-sailing, guided mountain skiing and night safaris.

Afterwards, the adventure takes family travelers to Flåm Railway to explore frozen waterfalls, rugged peaks and deep valleys before getting on a boat to sail through the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord.

The itinerary concludes in Voss, one of Norway’s most exciting adventure destinations, where skiing, ski touring, cross-country skiing and indoor flight simulations provide memorable fun.
