The Holmenkollen ski jump and the magnificent Akershus Fortress should be on your list for a taste of adventure. And take advantage of the stunning Oslo Opera House, an architectural wonder and the perfect backdrop for your next Instagram post. Air Charter Guide’s Bettina Gentile’s favorite is the Vigelund Park, the world’s largest sculpture park by a single artist.

After walking around, you’ll be ready to eat, no doubt. Oslo has a broad culinary offering that includes cuisines worldwide and contemporary and creative experiences. Cru offers an exquisite blend of Norwegian cuisine with a touch of British inspiration, thanks to its talented English head chef, James Maxwell-Stewart. Guests are treated to a carefully curated four-course set menu with inventive British touches for a truly indulgent experience. Cru promises an unforgettable culinary journey in the heart of Oslo.

Check out Sundt Air’s super mid and heavy jet fleet for all of your VIP flights around Norway! From Oslo it’s only a short flight to Bergen or Stavanger. The train ride from Myrdal to Flam should be added to your bucket list according to Gentile and Van Winkle. If you are looking to venture into the fjords by helicopter check out Pegasus Helicopter in Bergen.

If you journey or jet north, you'll discover the hidden gem of Vesterålen, an archipelago often considered the more serene sibling of the Lofoten Islands. Hiking enthusiasts, this is your moment! The Måtinden trail, with its easy terrain and spectacular coastal views, will take your breath away. Trust us, this 3 to 4-hour hike will be the highlight of your trip.

Located up the road from Vesterålen in Sortland is the restaurant SULT, a steak house, and local dish experience worth the wait. The pace at the restaurant is relaxing, with serene views overlooking the rolling mountains in the distance.

Pulpit Rock, or Preikestolen, is a marvel that has captured the imagination of filmmakers and photographers alike. This impressive rock formation, towering 604 meters over Lysefjord, has even appeared in Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The relatively easy hike to the top and its proximity to Stavanger make it a popular choice among travelers. Once you reach the summit, your heart will race with excitement as you take in the awe-inspiring views.

For those of you trying to catch the Northern Lights or just stay up all night to witness the midnight sun, Bettina Gentile suggests that you contact your favorite charter operator to fly you to Hammerfest or Honningsvag airport to reach the very northern point, the Nordkapp.
