About Norske-Bygdeopplevelser

Norske Bygdeopplevelser as is a private joint-stock company, owned to 1/2 each by Britt Elton and Øyvind Nordset. The company was established in 1998 with office in Lillehammer.
Britt Elton works for the company full time and has long experience within the tourist industry in Norway, amongst others within the organization and carrying out the Olympic Winter Games in 1994.

The development of the company came step by step. From 2-3 bike trips and procurement of farm vacations limited to the counties of Hedmark and Oppland in 1998, we have expanded and now offer bike-trips in most parts of Norway, as well as hiking- and ski-tours from hotel to hotel with luggage transport.
We find great pleasure in walking, biking and skiing in the nature ourselves, and we can offer you first hand knowledge about our trips. We set up most of them ourselves and tested them as well, so we can therefore give you detailed information about the trips, the level of difficulty, the accommodation sited, etc. when you book one of our tours.

Who are customers of Norske Bygdeopplevelser as?

About 80% of them are Norwegians: mainly families with children, adults, groups (friends, sport groups, companies, etc.). Many of our customers return to booking trips with us year by year.
The share of foreigners is biggest in the winter; they then mainly come from the USA, Canada, Alaska, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Britain.
