The Norwegians are known for their passion for nature and skiing. In 1952 the Olympic Winter Games took place here, and almost everyone of the arrangements were within the city limits. From down town Oslo, you'll easily manage to reach Holmenkollen Ski Jump and Marka, where you can live out your passion for skiing. If you find ice-skating more tempting, there is possibilities to do so in the heart of Oslo, between the Nathional Theatre and the
