Not everyone is born skiing like the Norwegians, and if skiing isn't your thing, there are other ways to get out on the snow. So if the dream of a winter wonderland experience is lurking, try a 'trot' or a snowshoe tour. Snowshoes can be rented at the Quality Straand Hotel, which also organises snowshoe tours around Kviteseid.

The snow shoes have a large wearing surface, but you have to get used to walking in the snow with them first. In fact, just strap them on with a pair of straps and rubber laces and you're ready for a hike in the snow. The snowshoe was actually the predecessor of the ski and was developed many thousands of years ago by northerners who also needed to get across the snow on two legs, at a reasonable pace.

There are many trout in Eidsfjorden, and it doesn't cost anything to throw out the line. Contact your hotel for details of the best fishing spots.

Another option is to try your luck in the small rivers, but then you have to remember to have a fishing licence and pay the card fee. In the mountain areas, a fishing licence is not necessary unless you are biting salmon and sea trout.

In Hardangervidda there are many good places where trout are 'almost' plentiful, although a fishing permit is required but no surcharge is payable.
