Prime Minister Erna Solberg (H) went rafting in Vossaelva to kick off Ekstremsportveko in Voss, Sunday.

Wearing a wet suit, life jacket and a government-blue helmet, the prime minister sat in front of the rubber boat and rafted through Melsvatnet and Dugstadfossen.

The trip ended at the Voss Active rafting center at Skulestadmoen.

Extreme sportsveko, (extreme sports week) the world’s largest festival of its kind, runs from Sunday to Saturday (24 June through the 1st of July) with a wide range of activities and competitions, including rafting, kayaking, paragliding, skydiving and base hopping.
