Here are some cool Norwegian things you'll want to try in the coming year.

Did you know that the word "ski" is originally a Norwegian word? We're very proud of it!
2. Learn some Norwegian
Speaking of language, why not learn some Norwegian and discover a few quintessentially Norwegian words?
3. Visit a fjord
Another Norwegian word you no doubt know is FJORD!
Add the Norwegian fjords to your travel bucket list. Or better yet, visit them in winter for a magical experience.
4. Winter swimming
Swimming is cool all year round (with our without a hot sauna waiting for you)!
Try the whole sauna collection: fjord saunas, city saunas, mountain saunas, river saunas and the world's northernmost sauna.
5. Get a Norwegian sweater
Knitting is super trendy right now. Make your own Norwegian sweater!
Don't worry if you don't know how to knit - you can always buy one.
Caution: you might have trouble deciding on a pattern, as there are very many from which to choose!
6. Cook like a Norwegian
Learn how to cook Norwegian food! How about waffles, skrei, or king crab? Delicious!
7. Experience the northern lights
This should be on everyone's bucket list! Experience the stunning colours of the northern lights as they dance across the night sky!
Did you know that from now until 2026, aurora borealis activity is expected to reach its most active level in 11 years?
8. Go storm watching
The sound of waves and rivers provides a sense of calm that can counteract stress and anxiety.
Have a soul-soothing timeout on storm watching break on the Norwegian coast to find your inner peace.
