About location

The forested Vangsåsen hills define the setting of Gåsbu near Hamar — their wooded terrain surrounds Gåsbu Langrennssenter, a centre dedicated to cross-country skiing. The site lies in Innlandet, north of Lake Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake, in a more rural part of the municipality than Hamar’s lakeside centre. Hamar stands on Mjøsa’s eastern shore and is associated with Vikingskipet, the arena that staged speed-skating events during the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. Gåsbu brings a different side of the district into focus: forest roads, organised sport and the long Norwegian tradition of travelling on skis. It is a practical base for a form of recreation woven deeply into national life while remaining close to Hamar’s services.

City Hamar

Hamar has served as a commercial centre on the shore of Lake Mjøsa in Innlandet since 1849. Norway’s largest lake shapes the city’s setting, with a waterfront that connects urban life to inland boating and rail routes. At Domkirkeodden, the remains of the medieval Hamar Cathedral stand beneath a protective glass structure within an open-air museum. Hamar also hosted speed-skating events during the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics at Vikingskipet, an arena whose roof recalls an upturned Viking ship.

Innlandet
Region Innlandet

Among the regions of Norway, Innlandet stands out for its broad inland sweep of lakes, forests and mountain valleys. Lake Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake, forms an important southern focal point, while the Gudbrandsdalen valley follows the Lågen north towards higher country. Lillehammer gives the area an international reference point: it hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics, and its Maihaugen open-air museum presents buildings and everyday traditions from across Norway. Farther north, Rondane National Park protects a high-mountain landscape associated with wild reindeer. This is a region of farms, timber country and transport routes linking Oslo with central Norway.

Country Norway

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
