Norwegian preschoolers get early exposure to outdoor life by hiking routes around kindergartens

In the land of mountains and fjords, outdoor life starts early. That’s why this week as many as 11,000 preschool kids started their day hiking around kindergartens in Norway. The mini-Nordic adventurers will grow up in a society where outdoor life is quasi-religious. Some 97% of Norwegians participated in some form of outdoor activity in 2021. That compares with just 54% of Americans. That is hardly surprising: Leisure time for Norwegians often revolves around hiking trips to cabins in the mountains. In 2021, 82% of adults reported that they went hiking at some point during the year. Even the country's prime minister takes part.
