A Fresh Adventure Holiday In Norway For Men And Women
Skiing must have been invented in Norway or thereabouts as it originally was a form of transportation most suitable for the snowy slopes. Skis themselves have been dated as far back as two thousand years prior to the birth of Christ. Stone Age carvings on rocks discovered in the Scandinavian Peninsular give evidence of this.
Adventurers on holiday in Norway go by car to the different cities and trekking places. Small cabins at the foot of the glaciers and fjords accommodate the group of six to eight people. Getting ready for a ski, one of the visitors wears a black helmet preparing for the trip.
Stylish winter fashion can still be worn out in the snow fields of Norway even when the sun is shining and reflecting back, making it hot as well as cold. For this reason a person considering such a trip should use sunscreen to block out the ultra violet especially those that have sensitive skin and easily burn.
Guides for the tour will teach everyone how to handle the cross country trek on skis. Everyone puts on a giro ski helmet and proper ski gloves to make ready for the day’s tasks. Not so much in recent years but not too long ago either, the Norwegians were atop of the Olympic cross country skiing events. Most recently the ski jumps have been more focused upon.
A small group of six or seven will walk and climb all over the Folgefonna glacier near Bergen, a world renowned city in Norway. Then into town for some traditional sight seeing. Bergen has two museums to boast of and several other attractions in the city.
A real adventure consists of more than just a chance to ski the slopes and discover the natural beauty of the glaciers and fjords. Kayaking down a river with rapids and rocks looming is an activity not for the feint hearted. Women take note – if you are ever in a big rubber raft built for eight people, make sure to sit at the back of the raft. This angle sees a lot more heights than the persons sitting at the front, who will end up saturated and have a scarier time of it all.
Adventurers who love to be physically challenged may opt for a mountain biking experience before returning to the cabin for some well earned rest in front of the delonghi space heater. For days that have little or no physical exertion, the nightlife is spent in one of the famous Norwegian cities. Relaxing with a drink in one hand and a story of the day’s adventure to tell, the nights may well be as adventuresome as the days.
