    Norway is Where it All Began

    Norway is a great country for a driving holiday, as the roads are well maintained and relatively quiet. But watch your speed, as the limits are low and strictly enforced. On country roads the general limit is 80kph, often dropping as low as 60, and even on motorways the top speed is 90kph. So youll have plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

    Many believe that Norway is where it all began, with the need to move across snow over vast distances. During the winter, most of the towns and cities in this wild and beautiful country have access to a ski area. These vary from the high quality slopes and lift complex around Lillehammer, scene of former Winter Olympics, to small local complexes with just a couple of lifts. Theres certainly something for everyone and you could even combine a trip to Oslo with some skiing in the easily reached hills behind the city.
