Winter at Haukeliseter

One thing I particularly love about scandinavian friluftsliv is the tradition of hyttekos. While friluftsliv is about enjoying sports and nature in most any kind of weather, hyttekos is all about having it cozy by the fireplace in your wooden cabin. Perfect combination! A few years ago we’ve been to an old cabin called “Haukeliseter” up on the infamous mountain plateau Hardangervidda.

First Snow in Rondane

It’s November and sure enough twitter is feeding me more and more beautiful pictures, videos and stories of first snow in the northern mountain areas around the globe. Have a look at the twitter feeds of @Arcteryx or @Norrona and you’ll see what I mean. Made me think back to a tour I did through Rondane national park in mid Norway last year in September.
