Norway has been named the happiest country in the world and we can give you 10 reasons to visit.
Don't worry about the cold. Where Santa feels at home, the cold feels different, somehow cozy and not so numbing.
And there's so much to do, you won't have time to wonder if you're cold.
On the mountain with the whole family
Your older kids will love discovering the gorgeous views that open up from the mountains near Bergen together, or going around the longest and deepest fjord.
If you're careful, you're even likely to see a seal.
In search of whales beyond the Arctic Circle
Sign up for a cruise to the Vesteralen Islands in the north of the country. They're just beyond the Arctic Circle, but you won't feel the harsh winter outside in your warm cabin.
You do, however, have the chance to see some of the sea's biggest creatures - humpback whales, orcas, sea otters.
Stand up and paddle
Paddle boarding (standing up) is one of the most extreme and unforgettable ways to enjoy Norwegian nature.
The fjords will love you and show you their greatest secrets. And you'll sport in the company of whales. Unforgettable.
On a cruise through the fjords
If boating isn't for you, choose the other extreme - the luxury of cruise ships. They'll take you to beautiful coastal towns nestled in the bends of the fjords, you'll cross the Arctic Circle and you'll know you're experiencing the voyage of a lifetime.
The Northern Lights
If we had to name just one reason to visit Norway instead of 10, it would be this one - the Northern Lights.
The play of the sun's rays in the dark sky over Norway provides a sight that takes your breath away.
The special thing is that there is no guarantee of the appearance of the northern lights. If it reveals itself before your eyes, rejoice, you're one of the lucky ones.
To climb to giants
Challenging but rewarding is our next suggestion - to climb to the highest peak in the country, Galdhoppingen.
It's like the Greek Olympus for Norwegians. According to their mythology, giants live there.
And on the way you will enjoy the 200-metre high Utladalen waterfall. Will you see the giants? We're not sure. Will you come back tired but happy from this trip? For sure.
Vikings and trolls
During the short Norwegian summer, you can catch the train between Oslo and Bergen. On the troll road you'll feel like you're on top of the world, and at the Viking Museum you'll feel the power of the old Norwegians.
Hunting and fishing
The waters off Norway are home to many delicious fish. Special tours are organised that involve first fishing, then cooking and feasting on the fish you catch.
Bon appetit!
Culture and nature
If Norway's natural wonders aren't enough for you, pay homage to the country's culture and architecture.
Don't miss Oslo's opera house, wooden church and glacier museum.
Hop on the Polar Express
The famous train travels around the country's major natural attractions. For 700 kilometres you'll enjoy Norway in all its beauty.
And you will appreciate the quality of the slow journey, the enjoyment of the moment and the contemplation.
