Cultural and sports events

Norway is a renowned host of international winter sports events, but international federations have discovered that there is much more to this Scandinavian destination than long ski slopes. Numerous music, food, and other cultural festivals also take place here every year. As a leading force within sustainability, many Norwegian events strive to minimise their impact on the environment.

The cycling competition Arctic Race of Norway and the three-day music fest Øyafestivalen are two examples of large-scale events with high ambitions for sustainability.
