Skiing rules at the annual Holmenkollen Ski Festival in Oslo, Norway. The main attraction? Holmenkollbakken, a huge ski jumping hill with room for 30,000 enthusiastic spectators and a handful of valiant skiers. The ski jump itself is around 60 meters high. Every year Holmenkollen hosts the International Ski Federation Nordic Skiing World Cup, a competition among the world's best in skiing. Ski fans can also check out the oldest ski museum in the world, located right under the ski jump.
Snow Village
In December Finland created its 13th annual Snow Village, which will remain open until April, or even later, if the weather permits! Snow Village lies nearly 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The village is designed and assembled by builders skilled in working with snow and ice. Visitors can take a tour of the village, eat in a restaurant made of ice or go dancing in the disco igloo. They can also spend the night in a hotel made of snow. There's even an ice chapel for couples who want to get married in Snow Village! If you can't get to one of these festivals, check out the winter activities in your own area!
