School Ski Trips in Norway

Snow sports are more than just a past time in Norway – they are a way of life!

And with Norway holding more Winter Olympic medals than any other nation, it’s safe to say the skiing and snowboarding facilities are some of the best in the world…

But you don’t have to be of Olympic standard to ski in Norway  – there are plenty of long, gentle slopes which are perfect for beginners.

And thanks to it’s northern location, resorts in Norway get plenty of snow!

In December and January temperatures drop as low as -7.  But with little more than 5 hours daylight, be prepared to experience some floodlight skiing. Towards the end of the season, temperatures rise (to just above freezing!) and hours of daylight increase… meaning your time on the slopes is extended too.

I nspireski have carefully selected our resorts to ensure they are suitable for a broad range of ages and mixed ability skiers.

This, combined with beautiful scenery, world class hospitality and a wide choice of après ski activities, means that school ski trips in Norway suit groups whatever their ski experience.

Skiing and other winter sports are deeply entrenched in the Norwegian culture and a school ski trip here will be the holiday of a lifetime for all your students, whether they’re seasoned powder hounds or strapping on their skis for the very first time.

Norwegians have been skiing for around 5,000 years and the modern sport was developed here and in Sweden from military exercises during the 18th century. In 1843 the first public ski race was held in Norway and the rest, as they say, is history!

Norway boasts a long ski season, excellent snow conditions and a reputation for ski resorts that are incredibly child friendly! Norwegians take to the slopes from a young age and so resorts here are set up to welcome younger skiers and encourage their development.

The ski schools are excellent too and the instructors all speak excellent English – as do many Norwegians, in fact. And the accommodation here often offers doorstep skiing, making Norway a very easy school ski trip, while still offering exceptional skiing opportunities.

And all this is just a short flight from the UK – it takes less than 2 hours to fly into Bergen, the closest airport to our Norwegian resort.

Hemsedal Ski Resort, Norway

Norway's Ski Heritage

• The word 'ski '  is derived from the old Norse word 'skíð' meaning 'split wood' or 'wooden board'.
• Archaeological finds indicate that people in the Nordic countries have used skis for more than 5,000 years, which shows that the old saying ‘Norwegians are born with skis on their feet’ isn't that far from the truth!
• Norwegian, Sondre Norheim , is considered the 'father of skiing'. He made important innovations in ski technology by re-designing and improving bindings and skis. In 1868 he won the first national skiing competition in Oslo, beating his younger competitors by a large margin. His reputation grew, and eventually made Norwegian words like ski and slalåm (slalom) known worldwide.
• Sondre Norheim is also credited as the creator of the 'Telemark turn'.
• Telemark skiing  is a Norwegian skiing technique that combines elements of Alpine and Nordic skiing. It is named Telemark after the region of Norway where the discipline originated from.
• In the Winter Olympics, Norway has won 368 total medals, including 132 gold medals – that’s considerably more than any other nation in Winter Olympic history! More than half of these medals came from cross-country skiing and speed skating. 

Norwegian Culture

• A large part of Norwegian culture centres itself around being outdoors, embracing nature, and 'getting away from it all' - they even have a word for it;  'friluftsliv' .
• Friluftsliv activities can include anything from skiing, hiking and kayaking to more peaceful pursuits like berry picking or walking the dog.
• The concept is also tightly connected to  'kos'  (cosiness) - the unique Norwegian word for having a good time.

Norwegian Cuisine

• Norway has some of the best native produce in the world. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are incredibly abundant across the country and its selection of wild game and seafood are second to none.
• Game meats like moose, elk, deer and boar are special in Norway as many hunting traditions date back to their pre-Viking past. Out of season, you can find these meats cured in specialty shops or served with bold sauces on special occasions. 
• Catching and preparing  top-quality fish has always been a big part of Norwegian culture and cuisine . In the past, dried cod was their biggest export – now it’s mainly fresh salmon , king crab and cod . This comes as no surprise as Norway has the second longest coastline in the world with a total length of 100,915 km!
• One of Norway’s most iconic inventions is the ‘ ostehøvel’ - meaning cheese slicer. It was invented by furniture maker Thor Bjørklundin the 1920s.
• The most famous cheese in Norway has traditionally been the ‘ brunost ’, or ‘the brown cheese’ - caramelised whey cheese, quite similar to fudge, made with either cow or goat´s milk.
• Dinner in Norwegian is called ‘ middag ’, which actually means ‘midday’.
• During your Easter ski trip, you may notice everyone eating ‘ Kvikk Lunsj ’ chocolate bars. This particular chocolate bar (similar to our Kit Kat) has been advertised as a sweet solution to providing extra energy in packed lunches whilst out skiing in the mountains.

The definitive guide to cross-country skiing in Norway! (inc. the top resorts)

Cross country skiing in Norway is an extremely popular local pastime, and a fantastic experience for visitors. Blessed with an abundance of snow-covered hills, mountains, and plains, Norway seems to be tailor-made for skiing excellence.

In Norway cross-country skiing is as popular as ever, and the landscape promises endless wonderful experiences for those with a passion for cold weather sports. You can try a spot of downhill skiing, or even look into the unique practice of Nordic skiing.

However, for many, Norway cross-country skiing will always be the biggest draw. After all, what better way to see the country than on a pair of skis?

Whether you’re a seasoned skier, or you’re new to strapping on a pair of skis, Norway is a great place to pursue life on the snow. The national sport of the country, skiing is loved, embraced, and taught in virtually every part of Norway.

Today, we’re going to be exploring everything you need to know about cross-country skiing in Norway, as well as where you can go to start your own adventure.

Is cross-country skiing popular in Norway?

All kinds of skiing has a unique appeal in Norway . Considered the national support of the country, skiing is something many locals look forward to all-year round. If you’re a fan of ice and snow, then Norway is definitely a good place to visit.

In fact, archaeological research has found Nordic countries have been using skis for more than 5000 years.

Throughout the winter, the entire country of Norway transforms into a dedicated skiing paradise, with a huge selection of well-groomed trails to choose from. Today, Norwegians see skiing as more than just a pastime, it’s a means of transportation, and part of the nation’s heritage.

Why is cross-country skiing popular in Norway?

There’s a common saying throughout some parts of the world, “Norwegians were born with skis on their feet”. In other words, the people of Norway were simply born to ski.

In Norway cross-country skiing is ingrained into the locals from a very young age, with many children learning how to ski from the moment they know how to run.

In terms of popularity, Norway stands as the number one destination for the love of skiing, followed by locations like Canada, Germany, Sweden , and Finland. While the Norwegians certainly have a love for a wide range of snow sports, it seems to be skiing with the biggest impact on the country.

According to professionals, Norway is also a fantastic place to learn how to ski. Things like cross-country skiing, which involves a lot of wide-open plains, can help to build confidence among people who haven’t found their footing yet.

Is Nordic skiing the same as cross-country skiing

Cross-country skiing is commonly considered one of the most popular types of skiing in Norway. Because of this, it’s frequently confused with “Nordic skiing” — a specific skiing practice often present in Nordic countries .

The term “Nordic skiing” does refer to a type of skiing similar to Norway cross-country skiing, but there are some differences.

Nordic skiing is considered any kind of skiing which goes off-piste, or off-trail. Rather than following a specific slope, or path with your skiing, you allow yourself to explore the “Nordic terrain”.

Sometimes considered “touring” skiing, Nordic skiing takes you over a range of snowfields, valleys and mountains. It’s a kind of combination of telemark, cross-country, and alpine touring skiing.

Cross-country skiing is a little less challenging , because it’s not quite as “Off-road”. While you don’t follow a specific slope pattern, similar to Nordic skiing, you’ll usually follow groomed pistes, with a lot of parallel grooves in the pathways to help guide your skis.

How difficult is cross-country skiing?

The good thing about cross-country skiing, is it’s relatively easy to get into, no matter how much prior skiing experience you have. There are some challenges to consider.

For instance, only the toe of the boot is attached to the ski. You’ll also be moving over a lot of flat terrain, where you can go up and down hills, which has both its challenges, and its benefits.

In terms of difficulty, cross-country skiing generally has less of a learning curve than options like Nordic or downhill skiing. You get to use a lot of your natural movements, and you’re not going to be hurtling through the snow at top speed.

What to know before cross-country skiing in Norway

Before you go on a cross-country skiing trip in Norway, it’s best to do your research. We’ll be covering some of the best resorts for cross-country skiing in Norway below but remember to look into the place you’re going to be staying in advance to see if it’s really right for you.

One thing to keep in mind is no matter where you go in Norway, you’re expected to stick to the mountain code . This means following a specific set of rules to ensure you stay safe.

Some of the key points of the mountain code include:

• Plan journey based on the abilities of the group and always include alternate routes.
• Obtain current info about the weather conditions in the area before beginning.
• Ensure you have the right skills and knowledge to complete the trips.
• Respect the natural environment at all times.
• Make sure you plan the trip properly in terms of timing.
• Respect the weather.
• Travel with others, and respect the skiers around you.
• Be considerate of other hikers.

It’s also crucial to check for any avalanche warnings and be extra cautious of weather changes before you begin your journey. Dress appropriately for both the weather and the terrain and make sure you have all the equipment you need. Extra food and drink can even save lives if a trip takes too long.

Norway’s mountain code also recommends bringing high visibility vests on your journeys and packing wisely to help yourself and others you might notice in need of help.

Preparing for Norway cross-country skiing

Preparing for cross-country skiing in Norway often requires a lot of planning. You’ll need to make sure you plan your route in advance and avoid terrain which might be prone to avalanches. It’s also important to ensure you always have a map and a compass to help guide you.

Don’t be afraid to turn around if you get to a point where you’re uncertain about the safety of yourself and your companions. Norway’s incredible landscape might be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly dangerous when you’re not properly prepared.

We’d recommend seeking out a tour provided by a professional team if it’s your first time with cross-country skiing.

Another bonus tip? Take a bag with you where you can store any trash you might create when eating on the trail. Norway requires all skiers to leave the natural landscape exactly as you found it. This means leaving nothing behind but your tracks in the snow.

Take only pictures and leave as small as a footprint as you can, with respect for the other people who come behind you.

The best resorts for cross-country skiing in Norway

In Norway, cross-country skiing is more than just a pastime, it’s a way of life. Fortunately, it’s also something Norwegians are more than happy to share with visitors.

There are a host of great cross-country skiing resorts in Norway, where you can sign up for tours, and discover all the ins and outs of the nation’s favorite sports.

While the perfect resort for you will depend on a number of things, we can help you find some excellent options to get you started. In most cases, the country’s top ski resorts are located throughout the Southern, Central, and Eastern regions of Norway.

Most offer a range of cross-country trails through picturesque landscapes, with no shortage of accommodation options.

During the early skiing season, Sjusjøen usually hosts some of the biggest skiing names in the world, and it’s frequently used as a training camp too. While artificial snow is used in many places, you still get a wonderfully natural experience on the trails.

Cross country skiing in Oslo: trails and resorts

If you’re keen to become a Norwegian cross-country skier during your vacation, but you still want plenty of opportunities to check out wonders of Norway’s capital city, you’re in luck. You can find a range of fantastic resorts throughout Oslo, including:

1. Oslo Vinterpark

The number one family-friendly cross-country skiing resort in Norway, Oslo Vinterpark is a fantastic destination for beginners. The resort is located around 20 minutes outside of downtown Oslo, so you won’t be too far from city life.

As an extra bonus, Oslo Vinterpark is floodlit at night so you can still find your way when it’s dark.

2. Sognsvann — Ullevålseter

Located a little North of Oslo, the Sognsvann — Ullevålseter trail runs from Sognsvann to Ullevålseter and is considered a great place for cross-country skiing experiences. You can even choose a trail which generally gets less attention if you want a little peace and quiet.

The inland trail from Sognsvann — Ullevålseter is ideal for a lot of people, with just a few slopes to concentrate on. The last part of the trail does have quite a long 400m hill. Relatively straightforward and popular, this is an excellent trail for making the most of your cold-weather techniques.

3. Frognerseteren — Skjennungstua

The Frognerseteren to Skjennungstua trail in the forests of Oslo offers a beautiful roundtrip around one of Oslo’s most attractive regions. There’s also a restaurant on the trail so you can take a break for homemade sandwiches and cakes when you need to top up on energy.

The trail starts from the T-bane station in Frognerseteren and is situated on a hill with a stunning forest view. This trail is pretty popular, but you should be able to find a time when the crowds aren’t too significant, so you can take your time and choose the pace best for you.

4. Frognerseteren — Ullevålseter — Sognsvann

Another fantastic cross-country skiing option for visitors in Norway, this route combines some of the previous tours highlighted above. If you want to challenge your endurance, or develop some extra confidence on your skis, this could be perfect for you.

The route starts at Frognerseteren and ends at Sognsvann, after visiting Ullevålseter. There are a number of great views to check out along the way, and a host of floodlighting options available if you’re keen to visit the trail at night.

Becoming a Norwegian cross-country skier

Norwegian cross-country skiing, or “Jogging on skis,” as it’s sometimes called, is one of the most amazing things you can do to get an insight into Norwegian culture.

There are plenty of resorts to visit, lots of great places to learn, and the people are friendly enough too. You’re sure to get along with the locals if you learn about skiing legends like Petter Northug, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo and Marit Bjørgen before you go.

Remember to wrap up warm, do your research, and make sure you’re following the rules of the Norwegian mountain code before you begin your cross-country skiing adventure. While cross-country skiing in Norway is a lot of fun, it can also be dangerous if you’re not properly prepared.

Plan your trip based on the ski season

If you’re planning a ski trip to Norway, it’s important to know when the best time to hit the slopes is. The ski season in Norway typically runs from November to May, but the peak months for skiing are usually from January to March. During these months, you can expect excellent snow conditions and a great atmosphere at the ski resorts. However, keep in mind that the weather can be unpredictable, and it’s always a good idea to check the forecast before you go.

If you’re looking for a quieter skiing experience, consider visiting Norway during the shoulder seasons of November to December or April to May. During these months, you may not have as much snow as during the peak season, but you’ll have a more peaceful and intimate experience. Plus, prices for accommodations and lift tickets may be lower.

November-December

Although the ski season has just begun, many resorts will already have some runs open. This time of year is perfect for beginners or families with young children, as the resorts are less crowded and offer many activities besides skiing. Some resorts even have Christmas markets and events for visitors.

January-March

During these months, you’ll find the best snow conditions and the most lively atmosphere at the resorts. Norway’s ski resorts offer a range of slopes suitable for all levels, from beginners to experts. Besides skiing, you can also enjoy other winter activities such as dog sledding, snowmobiling , and ice fishing.

Learn about Norway’s unique skiing culture and traditions

When it comes to skiing, Norway offers more than just amazing slopes and beautiful scenery. The country has a rich skiing culture and traditions that make the sport even more special. One of the most unique aspects of skiing in Norway is the concept of friluftsliv , which means “open-air living.” It’s a way of life that promotes outdoor recreation and encourages people to embrace the natural world around them.

In Norway, skiing isn’t just a sport – it’s a way of life. The country has a long history of skiing, dating back over 4,000 years. In fact, many Norwegians learn to ski before they can even walk! Skiing is deeply ingrained in the culture, and it’s not uncommon to see people skiing to work or school during the winter months.

Nordic Skiing

Nordic skiing is the most popular form of skiing in Norway. It’s a type of skiing that originated in Scandinavia and involves using lightweight skis to glide over flat or hilly terrain. Nordic skiing is a great way to explore Norway’s beautiful winter landscape and is a favorite pastime for many Norwegians.

The Birkebeiner

The Birkebeiner ski race is one of Norway’s most popular skiing events . It’s a 54-kilometer cross-country ski race that takes place every March and attracts thousands of skiers from around the world. The race commemorates a historic event in Norwegian history, when two warriors carried an infant prince on their backs across the mountains to safety during a civil war in the 13th century. Today, skiers carry a backpack weighing at least 3.5 kg, symbolizing the weight of the infant prince, as they ski the course.

Ski Jumping

Ski jumping is another popular winter sport in Norway. It involves launching oneself off a ramp and soaring through the air before landing on a steep hill. Ski jumping is not for the faint of heart, but it’s an exciting and impressive spectacle to watch. The most famous ski jumping event in Norway is the Holmenkollen Ski Festival, which takes place every year in Oslo and attracts top athletes from around the world.

Get tips from the experts on how to begin your ski touring adventure. It's great fun, as long as you know how to stay safe and how to use your equipment.

Your new favourite hobby

"Ski touring gives you an amazing feeling. The nature experience, combined with self mastery and a fun ride down the mountain, makes it unique," says Markus Landrø, a ski touring enthusiast who works as an avalanche forecaster in the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).

Ski touring is really up-and-coming in Norway . You have probably noticed it on social media too – people love to post selfies taken in front of incredible views, such as high peaks and ocean views in the north, the fjords of Fjord Norway or the magical landscape of the Jotunheimen mountains.

Many people long for the satisfying feeling of making it up to the snowy peaks on their own, without the aid of a ski lift, before being rewarded with the long ride down in pristine powder snow afterwards. It might sound hard, but it's actually achievable for most people, as long as you have some experience with skiing and are in good shape.

The most important thing to remember, if you want to try ski touring, is safety . Behind each glossy picture on social media lies plenty of hard work, preparation, and knowledge about avalanches, all of which are critical to ensuring a safe and fun tour.

"It's one thing to be in good shape, but you also have to have knowledge about the equipment and how to use it. The weather in Norway is also a factor — it can change quickly," says Markus.

The danger of avalanches must never be underestimated. Every year, someone dies in an avalanche in the Norwegian mountains.

Watch the series Behind the picture , to get an inside look at how to prepare for ski touring, and how to ensure a safer and fun ride, and scroll below for the expert's best tips.

Ski touring requires some preparation, but it's worth it! Get started with these seven tips for beginners– you might just find yourself a new hobby.

1. Use a local guide

As a beginner, the easiest thing you can do to ensure a safe trip is to go with a local guide. The guides have expert knowledge about the area and the snow and weather conditions in the mountains, and will help you pick a tour suited to your skill level. In addition, they know how to use the equipment needed, and can help you along the way. Look for the UIAGM logo for qualified guides .

"Those with more experience can also great benefit from having a guide when ski touring in new areas," says Markus.

The coastal climate and local variations in Norway make the snow and weather conditions different from other places, such as the Alps. Keep in mind that the weather can change quickly and that the conditions may differ from place to place – all depending on where in Norway you go ski touring.

2. Visit varsom.no to avoid avalanche terrain

The avalanche warning website in Norway is called Varsom.no . Remember to always check the website before going ski touring. It contains up to date information on avalanche risk in a variety of locations. You can also download their app, Varsom, from App store or Android store , to have the avalanche forecast right in your pocket! The app displays avalanche terrain, including where avalanches can break loose and the path the it may take.

There are three rules you should follow :

• The safest thing is to avoid terrain steeper than 30 degrees.
• Keep a good distance to cornices – they can suddenly break off!
• Practice using your avalanche equipment! If an accident happens, it's up to you and your touring buddies to save each other.

3. Get to know the equipment

Although you may have some experience from hiking, or cross-country or downhill skiing, you still need some new skills to go ski touring .

In several places in Norway, you can rent ski touring equipment and get an introduction on how to handle both skis, ski skins, boots, avalanche transceiver, and probes. A good tip is to practice using the equipment before your tour, so you know what to do before you find yourself high up in the mountains.

What about a visit to a mountain resort before your trip? Our resorts are a great place to practice, and some even have dedicated areas where you can practice using an avalanche transceiver.

4. Start off easy

You don't have to take on the highest peaks your first time around – find an easier, shorter route !

"Shorter trips can also be rewarding. Keep in mind, that you're both going up the mountain and back down," says Markus.

Are you starting to feel the pure joy of ski touring? When you're feeling comfortable with the equipment, and you know you're in good enough shape, you can start planning longer trips.

5. Pack well

Having proper clothes, the right equipment, and enough food is essential when ski touring! And you actually need a few things to get going.

In Norway, the weather can change quickly, so you might need everything from a t-shirt to a warm down jacket, and everything in between! Also, keep in mind: the nearest help can be far away when you are up in the mountains. That's why it's important to always make sure you bring what you need with you.

6. Agree on the goal of the trip

Do you have a higher skill level than your ski touring buddy? In that case, it's important to agree on the goal of the trip. Are you going for the nature experience? Is the goal to learn something new? Or do you want to find the best slopes or viewpoints?

"Having the same expectations for the day will give everyone a better experience," says Markus.

And remember: there's no shame in turning around!

7. Take a course!

You'll find both introduction courses to ski touring and avalanche courses in several places in Norway. A course will give you a good start, and it will make you feel safer when starting your ski touring journey!

Unconventional Sex Let Anglerfish Conquer the Deep Ocean

During a chaotic period some 50 million years ago, the strange deep-sea creatures left the ocean bottom and thrived by clamping onto their mates.

How did the ghoulish creatures known as anglerfish pull off the evolutionary feat that let them essentially take over the ocean’s sunless depths?

It took peculiar sex — extremely peculiar sex.

Scientists at Yale University have discovered that a burst of anglerfish diversification began some 50 million years ago as the ancestral line developed a bizarre strategy to ensure successful reproduction in the dark wilderness.

To mate, tiny males would clamp with sharp teeth onto the bellies of much larger females. Some males would let go after mating while others would permanently fuse into the females. The males that stayed attached became permanent organs for sperm production.

“We found that a cascade of traits, including those required for sexual parasitism, allowed anglerfishes to invade the deep sea,” Chase D. Brownstein , a graduate student in the ecology and evolutionary biology department at Yale who was the study’s lead author, said in a news release.

Today, there are more than 300 species of anglerfish, which makes them the most varied family of vertebrates in the ocean’s lightless zone. The region starts about 1,000 feet down — just beneath the photic zone, which gets enough sunlight to support photosynthesis and most of the sea’s plants — and descends for miles. The team’s study was published last week in the journal Current Biology.

Finding a mate in the deep sea can be extremely difficult because of the environment’s incomprehensibly vast size. By some estimates, the dark zone amounts to more than 97 percent of the planetary space inhabited by living things, mainly because the ocean plunges to a maximum depth of nearly seven miles. In contrast, land habitats make up less than 1 percent of the planet’s biosphere because the band of life is so narrow, making its volume quite small.

The anglerfish’s bizarre mating routine is seen as counteracting the otherwise slim chances of finding a mate in the world’s largest ecosystem. It is the only known vertebrate that employs sexual parasitism, and that gave it an evolutionary edge.

Over time, the male can physically fuse with the female, connecting to her skin and bloodstream. Eventually, he loses his eyes and all internal organs except for his testes. A female can carry several males on her body.

The Yale team documented how immune systems that attack foreign threats changed over time so the female hosts would not reject the parasitic males.

Anglerfish get their name from how females use rodlike appendages with glowing tips to lure prey into their needlelike teeth. They’re fish that fish . Their mouths are so large and their bodies so flexible that they can swallow prey up to twice their size.

The Yale team used fossils and genetic data from more than 100 living anglerfish species to determine that the burst of diversification came during a major global heat spike between 50 million and 35 million years ago. The world’s oceans were thrown into turmoil, and the bottom-walking ancestors of the anglerfish began to explore the wider oceanic world.

“It happened in the blink of an evolutionary eye about 50 million years ago,” Mr. Brownstein said in an interview. “It was like whales going back into the ocean. It was amazing.”

The team found that, simultaneously, the fish developed their unusual reproductive skills. It was unable to determine which came first — temporary or permanent attachment.

Some female anglerfish can grow quite large, reaching more than three feet in length, but most are smaller. The free-swimming males typically are a few inches long.

How do they find the females in the perpetual darkness of the deep sea?

Mr. Brownstein said the males have enlarged nasal organs that are thought to let them follow faint trails of female pheromones through the darkness in order to find their partner.

“You sniff out your mate, literally,” he said.
