The cradle of skiing! First of all, these Telemark mountains which would inspire any enthusiast. Moreover, the first Norwegian ski champion, Sondre Norheim, was born here and whose birth house can be seen. We owe him 2 major innovations: the ski binding and the slightly curved ski, softer and more flexible. The 1994 Olympic flame left from here before arriving in Lillehammer. Another inhabitant of Morgedal, Olav Bjaaland, skier and skilled craftsman, accompanied the explorer Amundsen to the South Pole. Finally, you should know that the word "slalom" comes from the local language, and the steep slopes here gave rise to the famous "Telemark" turn.
