A New Adventure Holiday In Norway For Men And Women
Norway, Sweden and the surrounding countries must have been where the idea of using wooden planks to walk on snow originally came from. Rock sketches discovered in the Scandinavian Peninsular demonstrate the use of skis by nomadic people way back in history. They have been dated as four thousand years B. C.
A small group of eight people will journey by car to a variety of places and stay in pastoral accommodations all over western areas of Norway. The environment could not be any clearer as another traveller puts on her black helmet and looks to the glacier above. Quite a challenge to take up but she wont be alone.
Fashionable winter style is in order for the colder region of the glacier although sometimes it can be quite warm with the sun reflecting off the snow. Women can wear light rabbit poncho in stylish red or crimson which really stands out on the snow fields. Along with black knitted leggings and white silk scarf, a woman can still look and feel her best out in the terrain.
Leading the group are the women guides, familiar with the skating style of cross country skiing. A classic trek across the snow means putting on the giro ski helmet and protective gloves before heading off. Traditional winter sport, Norwegians were ahead in the Olympic games but not so much recently with Italy and Russian teams having forged a lead.
Getting away from nature other beauties of Norway can be discovered. The Hanseatic Museum is a relic left over from the merchant days of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Being the only building that survived the fire of seventeen hundred and two, it is an architectural delight. Well worth the visit to see the days of old – very old – still surviving.
Staying true to having an adventurous time in Norway means taking the opportunity to do more than ski. River rafting is a popular adventure sport with the many rivers in the western areas of Norway. Kayaking is well loved here too. If water sports are your main interest, surfing lessons can also take place in the vast expansive country.
Another sporting adventure that is really popular in Norway is mountain biking. Taking a long ride through the mountainous terrain will certainly keep a person fit and healthy. It may also take the energy right out of you. Coming back to the cabin, a sit in front of the delonghi space heater will help take out some of the aches and pains from such exertion.
