We suggest to spend a nice time in Oslo. There are many museums, attractions, parks and nightlife centres. You can make a trip to near Fredrikstad.
If you prefer trips to nature, we suggest to visit a breathtaking and exceptionally beautiful Geirangerfjord. Fjord landscape is included in UNESCO World Heritage List.

Our proposal is to visit Trondheim. The highlight of the group trip can be Nidaros Cathedral (also called Nidarosdomen). This cathedral has been considered as the most beautiful church in Norway. Norwegian monarchs are crowned and buried in this cathedral.
Trondheim offers various sport activities as golf, fishing, walking and biking. Then we suggest to make a trip to Lofoten Islands. You can be amazed by Northern Lights.

The wonderful trip begins in the town Haugastøl. It is a good starting point of favourite road the Rallarvegen used by bikers. You can admire waterfalls, lakes, fjords, mountains and seaviews.

Skier
Our tip is alpine skiing in Jotunheimen, Rondane and Dovrefjell area. There are popular alpine ski centres at Bjorli and Dombås. For alpine, snowboard and cross-country skiing we suggest Sunnmørsalpane Skiarena Fjellseter. It is not a big resort, but very smart one.

Our advice is to try diving, hiking, kayaking and rafting. We suggest to realize a trip to Vøringsfossen waterfall or Latefossen waterfall.
A good choice is rafting on the Mandal River (north of Bjeland). You can connect your adrenaline sport activity with a salmon fishing as the Mandal river is one of the best places for the salmon fishing in Norway.
The other amazing outdoor trip is possible at Ålfotenfjord. You can admire a nice forest and glacier. The trip is connected with glacier hiking.
