Suggested one-day plan
Travel from Oslo to Lillehammer and start with Maihaugen open-air museum.
Stop for lunch in Lillehammer; a local café or waterside restaurant is an easy choice.
Visit Lysgårdsbakken ski jumps and Storgata high street, depending on opening times.
Return to Oslo; check the last train, bus or ferry before setting out.
Direct Vy trains run from Oslo S and Oslo Airport; allow a full day as the journey is over two hours each way.
A full, long day — an overnight stay is more relaxed.
