Norway is first and foremost known for its winter and snow. The
geographical placement of the country makes it ideal for
winter-sports. It is therefore no surprise that the country has
done really well in the Winter Olympics, being the country with
the most medals despite only having a population of five million
people. In this episode, we will take a closer look at
winter-sports in Norway.

Firstly, I have to mention cross-country skiing. This might be
unknown for many, as most people think of going down a hill when
hearing “skiing”. However, in Norway, cross-country skiing is
probably more popular. It is simply going up the hill with skis
instead of going down the hill. Cross-country skiing is more
about doing sports or enjoying nature, and during Easter, it is
very normal for Norwegian families to travel to the mountains to
enjoy some skiing. But, cross-country skiing is much harder than
it looks. Technique and balance are both very important and it
takes a lot of practice before being anywhere near mastering it.
You can go cross-country skiing a lot of places in Norway and it
is completely free to use the trails. For instance, Oslo and
Trondheim both have really nice trails close by.
