It is also critical for tourism, which relies on upon and connects us with flourishing ecosystems. Restoring nature – and our relationship with it – will be key to our sector’s recovery from the pandemic, as well as its future prosperity and resilience.

As I decided to visit Oslo for the first time in winter, I didn’t expect much from this journey. You will not find orchestras giving concerts on the top of the opera house in such a period, yet those shows are just amazing.

Indeed, skiers will have plenty of fun skiing down from the hills within and outside of Oslo, but I am actually not that much into skiing. Luckily, I was mistaken.
