Lillehammer Norway was another successful winter Olympic location back in 1994 which has reigned as one of the smallest and Northernmost hosts to date. Although it may have deviated from typical glitz and glamour that spectators are accustomed to for an Olympic stage, this quaint, twenty-seven hundred population town is a winter wonderland for snow bunnies looking to take advantage of an ideal winter terrain. Enjoyable local activities include dog sledding, skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing across the tundra. For those eager to find an adventurous getaway that offers brisk outdoors and comfy lodges, Lillehammer is the spot for you. Following Lillehammer is another awe-strikingly stunning destination that has hosted the Olympics multiple times.
