The first set of skis ever made must have been invented in Norway or nearby Sweden as initially that was the form of transportation for men and women to get across the snow fields. 4000 years ago is the estimated time of invention as rock etchings in the Scandinavian Peninsular depict.

Travel for the group is by car to various destinations and then a sleep over in a rustic wooden cabin before tackling the first adventure. The air is crispy clear as a tourist dons his black helmet and ski gloves which makes for a picturesque scene at the foot of the glacier. This is a very hard trip and a person must be physically fit to endure it.

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.

There are many water sports available for the person on an adventure holiday to pursue. Kayaking down the rivers or rafting down the rapids or perhaps staying near the coastline to take up some surfing lessons may be more to your taste in adventure. With so much to choose from a stay of two or three weeks could be what you’re after.

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.
