We welcome you as an honoured guest with our hospitality, our fine food, our exciting range of activities and events, our restorative peace and quiet. Gjøvik, Land and Toten inhabit a varied landscape on the west side of lake Mjøsa, an hour and a half to two hours from Oslo and about 30 minutes from Lillehammer. Succumb to the charms of Gjøvik, a small town with big-city virtues; Land, with its countryside embracing fjord and mountain, and Toten in its beautiful lowland setting. Stay in a hotel in town or in one of the many delightful farmhouse bed-and-breakfasts in the region. Gjøvik-Land-Toten offers an astonishing diversity of possible activities for both fun and relaxation. Savour the exuberance of our district! See Mjøsa from the venerable DS Skibladner, the world's oldest paddle steamer still in regular service, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2006. Contact the tourist office for special jubilee offers. Visit the world's largest underground public arena, Gjøvik Olympic Mountain Hall, built for the Olympic Winter Games at Lillehammer, a unique feat of construction. Visit Gjøvik Glassverk, one of Norway's last glassworks, where groups can observe the process at close hand, for free. In winter we have many miles of well prepared ski tracks, alpine courses and ski games facilities. You can go ice fishing in the abundant waters of Mjøsa -- or why not opt for an enjoyable sleigh ride, rounding off the evening with a cosy meal at a stabbur, a traditional log building with a turf roof. The possibilities are endless! For further information on what we can offer, get in touch with the Tourist Office Gjøvik-Land-Toten. You'll find us in Gjøvik town centre by NSB and Skysstasjonen at Jernbanegata 2. |
