Hello, I’m visiting Norway for holiday at the end of 2024 to see northern lights for 2 weeks.I was planning to learn cross-country skiing and hopefully experience ski-jumping. Is there any <1 week short experience courses for ski jumping around Norway?
Edit for clarity (added some notes on expectations): I can ski but have not tried cross-country ski specifically, so I’m gonna do that there since I heard Norway is a beautiful destination for that.
on ski jump, I’m looking at something more beginner friendly workshops like the FIS Nordic week in Einsiedeln, Switzerland. I know some ski clubs in Germany (Oberstdoff/Lauscha) / Austria do some short ski-jump workshops for the general public who are interested in the sports.

You can’t ski but want to learn how to ski-jump? Something most Norwegians don’t know how to do themselves? I think you may want to adjust your expectations.
You are not learning to ski jump in big hills and cross country skiing in two weeks. Rent a couple if slalom skies and jump some smaller jumps, or rent mini skis or slalom skis and build a small jump by yourself 😊
