Cross Country skiing in Norway
I will be in Norway (Bergen) from 18 Feb - 22 Feb 04 and I'd like to
use this chance to do some Cross Country skiing from 15 - 18 Feb. Can anyone suggest any areas? I have never done Cross Country skiing before but I am a good Alpine skier and Speed Skater (being Dutch...) so I think I will pick it up fairly quickly. What I am looking for is an area in the Oslo - Bergen - Lillehammer triangle. Lillehammer and areas nearby seem to be an option but might this me a bit touristy / expensive / fully booked with Danes? I would like an area that does cater for tourists though as I have no equipment so I'll need to rent. Any suggestions appreciated Wout |

Ski skating is quite different from ice skating, mostly due to much higher friction levels. I.e. even when people here talk about having extremely fast skis ("rockets!"), they still stop a lot sooner than a pair of ice skates. OTOH, ice skating is a much better preparation than downhill skiing. What I am looking for is an area in the Oslo - Bergen - Lillehammer triangle. Lillehammer and areas nearby seem to be an option but might this me a bit touristy / expensive / fully booked with Danes? If you're travelling directly to/from Bergen, then I'd rather suggest doing some downhill/backcountry/telemark skiing somewhere on the west coast, like Voss.
