Scandinavia and the Olympics

We have a new Blog about Scandinavia and our insider's view with our custom travel and tours. Please continue to follow our blog posting on our new blog Insider's Scandinavia - Great Places to Go and Things to do!


In addition to keeping ahead on the latest travel news, we also like to see where our Scandinavian friends are traveling to! Scandinavia and the Baltics have been making their mark on the 2008 Olympics this year in Beijing with their fair share of medals. Most notably, Denmark received their first medal of this year’s Olympics – a bronze in dressage. The medal was won by Princess Nathalie zu Sayn Wittgenstein on her horse, Digby. Digby was bred and trained by the royal Denmark family. Latvia also took gold in cycling and Norway came home with gold in rowing.

We will keep you posted as more events take place. The talent and physical accomplishments that Scandinavians bring to the world abroad can attest to their fit and active lifestyles back home. The fjords, mountains, and glaciers offer a natural playground for Scandinavians to hang out in. We invite international travelers to experience this scenery and adventure as well. Take a hike up the breathtaking Jostedalbreen Glacier or through the mesmerizing Hardangervidda Plateau. Other opportunities include sea kayaking, cycling, and fjord ferry rides.
