the National Park Days 2025
A full week of varied activities, tours, food experiences and more in honor of the national parks. Friday, August 1st through Sunday, August 10th, 2025
Geilo National Park Days is an annual celebration that celebrates Geilo's unique location as a gateway to both Hallingskarvet and Hardangervidda National Parks. The event spans a little over a week in early August, and offers a varied program of activities for all ages and interests.
• Historical Theater at Geilojordet

• Stolpejakten
Explore Geilo's rich history and cultural heritage through Stolpejakten ''Pole-hunting''. Using the Stolpejakten app, you can find various routes in the area – both well-known and more secluded hiking gems. Note: written language is Norwegian
• Mountain hikes and nature experiences

• Cultural events

• Activities for children and families
