Scandinavia is on the top of my list of places to visit in my lifetime. There are many reasons for that, and one of them (but not priority) is the summer glacier. I know this glacier isn't as big or well established as the Blackcomb glacier or Mt. Hood (featured in a future post), but it has potential and amazing sunsets. Norway has been a great platform for companies to shoot ads or film video parts, and part of the reason for that is the sunsets and the landscape, not to mention the occasional view of the Northern Lights. The glacier where people can ride is Folgefonna which is a collective term for the 3 glaciers in Hardanger, Norway. Included on this glacier are a few summer camps (
Folgefonna Snowboard & Ski Camp and
What! Summer Camp) as well as custom jumps and features for special photo shoots. Folgefonna glacier stays open for the months of June and July and have sunlight from 4:00am until 10:30pm. Although snowboarding is a good reason to go to Norway, the country is more well known for many other things, such as the Northern Lights, and the fjords just to name a couple. Norwegian culture is much different from North America, more colourful and way more extravagant, maybe even elegant. Cost is much higher, but so is quality.
