Countdown for the exchange: 4 days !

The Norwegians are good skiers and love staying out in nature!  It might be no big matter in Spanish or Catalan television channels, but "whole" Norway is watching the winter Olympic Games in Sochi expecting many Norwegian gold medals. We started well with two gold medals in Cross country skiing and another in Biathlon (skiing + shooting).
On your first Sunday you will have the opportunity to try Nordic Cross Country Skiing. We will stay at a farm close to our best skiing area. At the farm you also will see and feed 15 horses, 20 sheep going out all winter, and 5 hens.
You will also get to know a lavvu, which is a traditional Sami temporal dwelling, a sort of tent similar to the Native American Tipi. This one is big enough for 50 people, and the utter surface is made of wood. Inside the lavvu we will make a fire and make hot dogs and something to drink. It will be nice warm temperature inside.
