Hello,
nice to be back on this page. A long time a go we have promised Hamish to post some words about our one week vacation in Morgedal. In last years March we had rent the Øverbø cabin. It was a nice time with a lot of snow, nature, loneliness and not to forget the smart people of Morgedal. For us to stay in this root cabin with its awesome view over the valley was an impressive experience.
We have prepared a small page with some pictures about our days in Morgedal.
Just visit: http://www.surf-punk-a.de/morgedal/
All the best,
Andrea and Stefan

Dere har ganske interesant site på nett. Jeg var i Telemark før men var aldri i Morgedalen. Jeg synes at jeg må dit!
Jeg er stor Norges fanat. Jeg har blogg hvor jeg skrever om Norge. Kan jeg ta noen bilde fra dere?
Hvis dere svar "ja" kunne dere skrev på adressen

I'm very impressed of your website. My hobby is ski history, but I'm still very active telemarker and skialpinist. Morgedal is very special place in my minde, however I have never been there. One day may be? Visit my very fresh website please.
Best regards.
Erwin
Best regards.

Did you know that…
- It was Sondre Norheim (1825 – 1897) from Morgedal who started a ski revolution that made heel bindings and skis with in-swing (carving skis) known all over the world
- A world champion skier and ski maker, Olav Bjaaland from Morgedal, was a key member of Amundsen’s Norwegian team who were first to reach the South Pole in 1911
- The world’s first ski school was started in Christiania (Oslo) by two brothers - the champion skiers, Mikkel og Torjus Hemmestveit of Morgedal.
- The word Slalom which today is an international word has its origins in Morgedal and West Telemark. “Sla” means sloping, uneven terrain and “lom” means tracks or traces in the snow.
- The Christiania swing (parallel turn) and the Telemark turn have their origins in Telemark, Norway and were the two turns that Sondre Norheim demonstrated for the first time in a major ski competition in Iversløkken (near Christiania) in 1868
- Svein Sollid from Morgedal won the kings cup in the first Holmenkollen event ever held in 1892. He is also the first man on record to have jumped over 100 feet on skis – 31.5 meters on the Donstad slope in Morgedal.
- The very first winter Olympic flame was lit in Morgedal up at Øverbø the birth place of Sondre Norheim for the 1952 Oslo Games.
