Experiences

Walk in the footsteps of the father of modern skiing. In the heart of the stunning Telemark landscape lies Øvrebø, a place steeped in history and widely regarded as the birthplace of modern skiing. This is where Sondre Norheim, the legendary ski master who revolutionised ski design and pioneered Telemark skiing, was born and raised. The Olympic flames of 1952, 1960, and 1994 were all lit right here, a testament to Øvrebø’s enduring legacy in skiing history. Experience the spirit of skiing where it all began.
