If you feel the need to get on your salopettes and head for the wintery slopes, then you should look no further than Norway. Head on over to the Bureau de Change and buy Norwegian kroner by converting your Great British Pounds, book your flight tickets and head for the snow.

For the less experienced and families you might like to make use of the good exchange rate, and treat the family to sled rides pulled over the snow by horses or packs of dogs. This is a great experience and allows you all too really admire you location. The mountain views are extremely beautiful and it makes a change from skiing down the slopes.
The popular currency in Norway is known as the Krone. The Krone is good value against the pound. Once a part of the Scandinavian Monetary Union Norway once shared their currency with Denmark and Sweden. The Union separated in Nineteen Fourteen, and have used their individual coins and notes ever since. So far all three remain separated from the Euro, with only Sweden looking likely to change in the future.
Exchange rates do vary of course, but the Norwegian Krone is often considered to be one of the most worthwhile investments to make on the exchange market. The rates are mainly dependent on the interest rates, and also the cost of oil.
This is a good reason to choose Norway for all your winter activities. Your hard earned pound will go a lot further than in other skiing locations in other parts of the world. The snow is on the ground from November to May and these places are some of the best slopes to go and play on.
Taking a winter ski trip has always been popular with many Brits, however with the recent financial turmoil that has hit the United Kingdom, and many people are tightening their belts. Holidays and other leisure pursuits have been ruled out by many. Norway and its great prices can offer you a cheaper holiday, without taking away any of the quality you expect.
The best bet for great skiing is to head for the slopes with fine and dry snow fall when you arrive in Norway. These are mainly found in the inland resorts. You have a wide variety of areas to travel too, from the highest slopes, to cross country courses. Many of the cross country tracks will give tours for children and beginners, and are especially popular in the spring and early summer.
If you like your winter sports more extreme, then take your Norwegian Krone and head for one of the three snowboarding parks, dedicated for boarders only.
