    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live just next to Hardangervidda, a plateau made for scenic hikes in summer and XC skiing in winter.
    Lots of other outdoor activities throughout the year
    Winter season is from October/November through April. Summer from June/July through August/September
    The sheepfarm is a small farm, but if workawayer is interested, they will come to learn about this type of farming. Work hours in itself is not necessary. In May we have lambing season and it is a hectic, but also joyful time. From June all the sheep are out in the fields and in the mountains and we spend time hiking around, to check the animals, wich also gives a great opportunity to see the beautiful nature that we have around us.
    The village is working on including everyone, so there are activities to be part of, to get to know other people. (yoga, and sometimes a cafe for the local people).
    The village called Geilo is just 15 minutes away and offers lots of different experiences, such as outdoor/nature activities both summer and winter, cinema, cafes, pubs and restaurants and cultural/educational walks in the area.
