Norway's first garlic festival!

Join us for a completely unique weekend when Norway's first Garlic Festival takes place at Beitostølen! 

In September, we put garlic in the spotlight and celebrate its fantastic taste, history and health-giving properties – with an extra focus on the local Valdres garlic, which originated in Valdres Prison and is now grown all over Norway.

The weekend offers a garlic market, festival opening, awards, the Garlic Train, the Garlic March to Bitihorn, lectures on growing and health, garden tours, yoga and music in the city center. Restaurants in Beitostølen serve their own garlic menus throughout the weekend – remember to book a table!

On Saturday, you can experience the "release" of this year's Valdres garlic from Valdres Prison, buy garlic seedlings and bulbs, and attend the launch of a new book about garlic.

A weekend for those who love good food, mountains, gardens, health and pleasant experiences – and a perfect opportunity to combine the Garlic Festival with an autumn weekend at Beitostølen. 🌿🧄🏔️
