Norway Trip

Hello everybody,

At the beginning of March, with Benoit from SEP and one of my friend who came from France, we went for a road trip in Norway.

My friend came with his car which is more a van than a normal car. We spent 6 nights in Norway from Oslo to Stavanger which is on the west coast.

So firstly, we departed from Frederikshavn to Goteborg in Sweden but we didn't stay there and head straight to Oslo. We visit the capital city and also went skiing in Oslo Vinterpark. This station is just 20 minutes far from the downtown and it welcomed the world winter championship in 2008. It's not a huge station but you have a lot of things like : snowpark, half-pipe, ski jump, biathlon, etc..

Otherwise, we went to the biggest ski station in Norway which is 3 hours far away from Oslo. It's called Trysil. This one is huge and we can ski by night due to big lights over the slopes. It was incredible !!

After 3, 4 days in the capital we drove down the coast to Kristiansand first and to Stavanger. We saw so many awesome landscapes and lakes. We stopped for the sunset in a remote area and watched it in a big silence. WONDERFUL !!

The day before leaving, we walked to Preikestolen. It's a massive cliff 604 meters above the fjord. This visit was one of our trip's aim. This was also amazing. We walked aproximately 2 hours to reach the top between snow, ice and forest. It was a bit hard because we had not the gear to climb it so we were so happy to did it finally.

We took the ferry to arrived in Hals, DK and came back to Aalborg. The last ferry took 12 hours so we had booked a little room with 4 beds and a window to have the view on the sea.
