The oldest image of a skier in the world is from Rødøy on Helgeland. The first skiing competition in the world took place in Tromsø in 1843. Nowhere else in the world is the landscape better suited to skiing than in Northern Norway.

Sundays on the slopes

Even minor destinations in Northern Norway have finely prepared illuminated slopes so you can take some exercise even after darkness falls. As the days start to lengthen in February, you can start to ski a little higher on the mountains, and you can head off on longer skiing trips. If you stick to these runs, you are safe from avalanches, and there are always plenty of people around to help if you run into difficulties. READ MORE about Skiing in Northern Norway
