Three cities in Norway that became the inspiration of Disney's movie Frozen

Bergen, Roros, and Balestrand are three cities that students will see on their school trip to norway. These three cities below became the inspiration: 

  • Bergen, Norway School Trip

  • Røros, Norway School Trip

  • Balestrand, Norway School Trip

Bergen, Norway

On your next class trip to Norway, visit the UNESCO Heritage Site located in Bergen, Norway. The magical kingdom of Arendelle was inspired by the architecture and landscape found in Bergen. The UNESCO Heritage Site of Bryggen, features a series of colorful shops and restaurants. Students will take a guided city walking tour through Bergen, while having an opportunity to see the influence of Norwegian culture throughout. Complete your day, on your class trip, with dinner among one of Bergen’s best restaurants for groups! GO Leader Michaela highly suggest trying the traditional fare of seafood on your school trip!

Balestrand, Norway

Ideally situated between a magical mountain and gleaming fjords, Balestrand and inspired the coronation scene in Disney’s “Frozen”. Visit St.Olaf’s Church, which may have also inspired a beloved snowman’s name. A school trip to Norway is not complete without taking a RIB Boat tour down the fjords! The harbor of Balestrand is an inspiration of the city Arendelle within the movie. GO’s suggestion on your class trip to Norway is to include a visit to the local apple orchard for an apple juice tasting!
