Itinerary
Good afternoon globe-roamers and welcome to your first stop of memory-making magic. After a bit of a mingle with the new squad, we'll be getting into the spirit of our imminent adventures in Copenhagen. We've got all day tomorrow to suss out the city, so after a drive out to the Little Mermaid Statue for a group photo, tonight can stay reserved for Contiki hangs if you're feeling social.

Though you'll feel like you know Norway inside out by now, you can't really grasp the country until you've witnessed its great open plains & small country towns. But first, we'll head to Frogner Park to gawk at some impressive sculptures! Before we arrive in our overnight hub, we'll coast through the rugged river and rock landscapes of Telemark and Hardangervidda regions, with nature worthy of an Instagram or two... Tonight's stop, Voss is the adventure capital of Norway. You'll have the chance to explore the local area tonight - but first, fill up on your included group dinner.

Upon arrival we'll have the chance to hop on the Lillehammer Olympic Bobsleigh Track, Northern Europe's only artificial frozen bob, before taking a stroll through the city and grabbing a bite to eat.

Want to experience more of the area's natural beauty? You’ll have the chance to take a hike through the forest with fika and huskies in between.
