Some 35 years ago a friend of mine visited that part of Norway and decided she liked it so much she wanted to live there. So she studied the language for a while, bade family and friends farewell and off she went. As far as I know, she's still there, somewhere between Bergen and Oslo. Now I've watched your video, I understand why. :)

On christmas eve in 2018 (which is when Norwegians celebrate christmas) two families of tourists, 2 sets of parents with 3 kids and a baby between them, accidentally got stranded at Finse. They had taken the train from Geilo and went out to look thinking there would be a later train to bring them back, but the train they were on was in fact the last train of the day. The station was closed and so was the hotel. The local authorities managed to open a room for them at the station, but they actually ended up spending the day with the locals, who, upon hearing about this, immediately went out in horrible conditions to pick them up on snowmobiles and bring them to the traditional Finse christmas festivities and served them traditional christmas food. They stated it was the best experience of their lives.

I did this trip from Oslo to Bergen in the week between Christmas and New Year through an amazing blizzard in the mountains, with extremely high winds and heavy snow fall. The trip was absolutely wonderful. Majestic frozen waterfalls, various shades of turquoise. Dog sleds at some stations because of deep snow. Caravans frozen into solid blocks of translucent ice, perfectly cubed by the winds, Massive stalactite and stalagmite, translucent, frozen fjords. I was lucky the train was not so packed with people, meaning I could move between seats, I spent a quite few hours eating and drinking hot chocolate in the dining car with its panoramic windows. Truly an unbelievable winter wonderland. After spending some time in Bergen with a friend, I caught a train to Trondheim, Norway and another to a little village named Hell. At the Hell railway station I had my passport stamped, I now have a return rail ticket to Hell, and a Hell stamp in my passport as a memento. lol. Returning to Trondheim, I took a 12 hour train ride to Stockholm, Sweden, another breath taking train ride to beautiful Stockholm, snow flakes as large as the palm of my hand, yet so light and fluffy. The central heating in all the train carriages were tremendous, on all trips. Weeks later, I took over night cruise ship to Helsinki, Finland across the frozen Baltic Sea. The winds whistling through Helsinki were so strong it negated the need for ice skates, the locals rode those winds across massive city squares, along black ice covered pavements, a little dangerous, skating without skates, but so much fun. I crossed the Baltic sea again some time later by ferry to beautiful old city of Tallinn, Estonia. 3 months in amazingly beautiful Scandinavia during winter. I highly recommend the experience. Thank you Steve for sharing your summer adventure in beautiful Norway, It has bought back so many great memories.

Exteriors of the ice world Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back” were shot in the tiny village of Finse, Norway. The cast and crew stayed at the Finse 1222 Hotel, where snowstorm scenes were shot from the back door. But the main battlefield scenes were shot on the nearby glacier. Also: Travelling during fall or spring is amazing on this line, as you gain or lose altitude the seasons change with it.

Just discovered this channel and slowly making my way through these adventures. This one is my absolute favorite so far. What a stunning country. I had no idea. Is now top of my list to visit. Thank you Steve. You are a legend!
