Hotels in Telemark, Norway

Telemark is a region in southern Norway with a cool climate-summers average 60°F (15°C), perfect for hiking along the Telemark Canal's 105 locks, and winters drop to 20°F (-7°C), ideal for skiing at the Gaustatoppen mountain. Famous for its steep fjords and the historic Telemark Canal linking the North Sea to the interior, you can boat through the locks in July or cross-country ski on 200 miles of groomed trails in January. In summer, paddle the Norsjø lake; in winter, try ice skating on frozen lakes like Seljord-no crowds, just real adventure.
