Europe

Norway is unique in more ways than one: for a start, it’s the northernmost country in Europe, with the smallest density in the continent. It also holds number one place in the world in Human Development Index.Norway’s not just a country boasting the highest quality of life, though, it’s also one that’s fantastic to travel! A trip to Norway is like entering the home of Mother Nature herself. Sea and mountain have joined forces to form sublime landscapes:Natural Parks, lakes, glaciers, forests, and stunning fjords. Norway is a country whose scenery changes with the seasons:in summer, prepare for days that go on forever, and a glowing sun that shines even at midnight… In winter, Nature puts on its white jacket and the snow sports begin. It’s also the season during which the Northern Lights are at their most spectacular. Frankly, this ethereal phenomenon alone is worth making the trip! Conveniently, Norway is also&nbsp;an ideal destination for a family trip: what child wouldn’t want to take a visit to the homeland of Father Christmas?

A wander around the little streets of the village of Røros is almost like walking around an open-air museum and most of the buildings are actually under the protection of UNESCO. Because of the stable, if cold, climate, lots of people come to ski in <a href="/norway/">this region of Norway</a>, but since I'm not much of a skier, I looked for adventure elsewhere. We spent a whole afternoon being pulled along in a dog sled through the magical landscapes of the area, something I'll never forget. Make sure you book a few days in advance, particularly if you're travelling around the Christmas period, because the place is full of tourists at that time of year. If you're a bit of a foodie and you like to sample the local specialities, you'll find plenty to choose from in Røros. I really enjoyed the salted and dried meats, served with crusty bread and a brown Christmas beer. Try 'Frøya’s Hus' - it's a good place to eat and also sells souvenirs. This former farm (right in the middle of the village) serves traditional local dishes.
