elvrum to oslo in norway, 120 kilometers. and he beat the horse in the race in this 120 kilometers. so he was mostly a cross country skier. >> the world's first official ski race was held in trysil in 1855. and the trophy from 1857 is the world's oldest skiing cup. but trysil really took off as a resort in the 1950's when it got its first ski lifts. back then they were powered by a tractor engine. but don't worry, the setup has been modernized since then. the museum itself features a jump simulator for tourists. hotel visitors can look forward to modern spa facilities and you can even try out some indoor surfing. trysil also has night-time skiing but unlike other resorts, it's not limited to one piste. obviously the pace drops in the evening and you can also travel in style with a horn-drawn sleigh ride. moose watching expeditions are only available in the summer though. that's for practical reasons, it's the most promising time of the year. trysil has a relaxing reputation but people here also know how to party. you can do an all-nighter and catch of trysilfjellet in all its glory
