    The size of today's calendar present is given in liters and is named after a national park in Southern Norway. In the national park you can visit the Haverdalsseter, Grimsdalshytta and Bjørnhollia cabins. The product forms part of a series. Today we would like the name of the largest product in the series.

    The national park is Rondane

    The largest of the range I can find is 85L

    My answer from HERE = Rondane Classic 85L

    Today's riddle takes us to a Norwegian city characterized by wooden houses, fjords and seven mountains. The product behind the window got its name from one of these mountains. It soars 603 meters above sea level, can be reached by a gondola and has a restaurant on the summit.

    The city is Bergen and the mountain with the gondola (cable-car) and restaurant is Ulriken (which is 643m ASL)

    My answer from HERE = Ulriken Jumper

    Today the window conceals a jacket with the same name as a mountain municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county. The centre of the municipality also shares its name with today's product but if you're from these parts you would call the centre 'Auna'. This location is most famous for having one of Norway's largest ski resorts although it is also a Mecca for curling and has Norway's oldest curling club, which was founded in 1954.

    Norwegian curling began in Oppdal in 1954 when Oppdal Curling Club was founded on 21 February this year. Administration Center in the municipality is the village of Oppdal (locally Auna)

    My answer from HERE = Oppdal Jacket

    Behind today's window is a product that has a collar and two pockets. The name of the product is taken from a small tourist destination in Lesja municipality in Oppland county, situated by the Rauma River. It is known for having plenty of snow and offers a ski resort comprising 11 slopes and excellent cross-country trails. It is also a great starting point for outdoor activities, hunting and fishing during the rest of the year.

    Bjorli is on the Rauma River and is a ski resort

    Today there is a down product behind the window. The product name is taken from a place in Rælingen municipality. It comprises a Norwegian girl's name beginning with 'M'. The rest of the name is the same as the name of the husband of a Norwegian 'angel princess'. Add a synonym for the Norwegian word for a small rounded hilltop and you will arrive at the name of the product.

    The princess is probably Märtha Louise whi os married to Ari Behn. The norwegian word "kollen" translates as "knoll". There is a 370m Marikollen hill in Rælingen with a ski-centre. There is nothing in the english catalogue but in the norwegian catalogue:

    'Hood' is a vital hint to help you identify today's product. It is named after a 2,026 meter high Norwegian mountain, which, in turn, is named after a mountaineering legend. Today's product also forms part of our series of products that gives you exactly what’s needed, with nothing surplus to requirements.

    The mountain is Nørdre Uranostinden, also known as Slingsbytinden.

    Window number 21 conceals a product that is supplied in thick, thin, long, short and standard variants. As always, the name is a place name in Norway – to be precise, a municipality in Sunnmøre. The product is designed for winter activities but may also be used to describe a summer place. A final hint: translate the last word in this sentence into Norwegian: 'Vamos a la playa'.

    playa = beach = stranda and there is a Stranda municipality in Sunnmøre. Bergans have a whole series of Stranda Pants.

    My answer from HERE = Stranda Pants

    The item behind today's window is a jacket that is specially developed for those who use terms like 'stoked', 'jibbing' and 'powder alert'. The product is named after a popular ski resort in Sogndal and, for some, the name may feel like a bit of a tongue twister.

    There is a ski resort Hodlekve in Sogndal

    My answer from HERE = Hodlekve Jacket

    (Specially developed for freeride. Also suitable for ski touring, alpine, telemark, and jibbing.)

    Today's window conceals a product that is not a garment, but which nonetheless covers the whole body from top to toe. In fact, it can cover four people simultaneously, weighs 3.9 kg and has an English name.

    I think this is one of these two 4-person tents - they both weigh 3.9kg:

    Behind the very last window in this year's Advent calendar is a product with adjustable suspenders. The product forms part of our latest series for ski touring and mountaineering and is named after a 2,405 meter high Norwegian mountain. William C. Slingsby was the very first person to ascend this mountain in 1876.

    The mountain is Store Skagastølstind (also known as Storen). Having adjustable suspenders means it is the pants we are looking for.

    My answer from HERE = Storen Pants
