Skiing in northern Norway.
Huldreheimen
Last Sunday we had great weather in northern Norway. It was the warmest day so far this year with sun and around around - 3 degree celsius, so no need for much clothes under the wind jacket. The goal for the ski trip was an open cottage called Huldreheimen. The name means the home of the Hulder. The Hulder is a forest creature similar to sirens or nymphs. Even the nice weather we did not see any of these creatures, maybe they like foggy mysterious days better....
The trails pass through a beautiful woodland with moderate inclines and is around 6 km. The sun is still make long shadows in the middle of the day. Each day the sun is around 8 minutes longer above the horizon. So we are at full speed towards longer days.
Halfway we are mostly above the tree line and got a nice view of the surrounding area.
The cottage is placed with a view toward the Ballangen municipality and the fjord "Ofotfjorden". In the cottage it is possible for visitors to make fire and rest.
It was nice to sit in the sun and enjoy hot chocolate and food without freezing and get a little invisible tan from the sun.
You can see the centrum/ village of Ballangen by the sea.
We used around 1 hour and 40 minus up to the cottage. The return was easy with lots of fun downhill skiing. From we started and was back to the starting point we used around 45 minutes.
On this trail I expected mostly forest terrain with little view over the landscape. The tour was better than i imagined. The ski trail is good and the view is great when above the tree line, and last but not least the coffee was perfect.
Best regards

Negative 3 degrees Celsius is about 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit, still sounds cold. Beautiful vistas as always. I see Nero and assume he runs along while you ski. Also assume that this is more cross country skiing. Is that right?
Thank you for the beautiful pictures Harald.
The sun is warm enough to not freeze to much😊 yes Nero is running along while we skiing., and yes it is cross country, I have to go up by my self to ski downhill😂 l have not much experience with alpine ski. Thank you for nice comment.

I was hoping for a shot of a Hudler! Dang.. Next time maybe ;-}
Beautiful day and weather when you got these shots. Makes the adventure all that more pleasurable I am sure. I have never been, but it's on the bucket list. I see some foot prints on top of the one roof.. Looks like a lot of snow packed on top.. guess they shovel it off so to lessen the weight?? Either way makes for a neat scene :-D
No holder this time, I will keep an sharp eye for them 😂 yes I think the shower of the snow from the roof regularly. Thank you for visiting and nice comment.

congratulations, it's very difficult to take pictures with all that snow, because the camera goes crazy
Thank you@astrattoblu. Yes because of all the white and sharp light I have to compensate when measuring the light with the camera.
