    We have designed today's product in cooperation with the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT), and it has taken its name from a mountain in Dovre. The DNT cabins Reinheim, Snøheim, and Åmotdalshytta are situated on different sides of the mountain. What is the name of the product behind today's window?

    The cabins are all mentioned HERE so answer = Snøhetta Pants (HERE in catalogue)

    One of Norway's glaciers had an overall area of 207 km² in 2006. The highest point of the glacier was 1,651 meters above sea level in 2007, and the thickness of the ice has been measured to reach up to 375 m. The product we are looking for in today's riddle has been given the short version of the name of this glacier; its colloquial name.

    I'm not 100% sure but I believe the glacier is Folgefonna which can be shortened to Fonna such as in the last paragraph HERE

    answer = Fonna Down Jacket (HERE in catalogue)

    Today we must find a famous location on the Bergen Line. This place is located in Hordaland, and the first house was built there in 1901. The first hotel was opened in 1903, and the town became popular among the richest people in Europe due to its good communications and special location. This place has given its name to several products in our range; what are they called?

    Answer = Finse (eg. HERE and HERE in catalogue, there are other Finse products)

    One of the municipalities in Sør-Trøndelag is a major hydroelectric power producer, something that is also reflected in the municipal coat of arms with its stylized transmission towers. Other important business sectors for the municipality are agriculture, tourism, reindeer husbandry, and public administration. The municipality also produces stairways.
    Which municipality has our product borrowed it's name from?

    Answer = Tydal (hip pack HERE in catalogue)

    This plant is often called the mountain queen, but its actual name is something completely different. It's one of our most famous mountain plants and also one of the prettiest. We are looking for the Norwegian name of this plant, which has given its name to the product behind window no. 16.

    Answer = Bergfrue Lady Coat (HERE in catalogue)
