Ulvang is Outside with Fredrik Ringen

"Many go into the mountains to seek either calm or adrenaline, but for me it’s perhaps mostly about the overwhelming impressions the mountains give. When I’m in a valley or on a ridge with big mountains in every direction, I become completely absorbed in the whole experience."

"I grew up at the outer edge of the Oslofjord, in a fairly flat region with the sea as the closest neighbor. Crabbing, diving, and boating were the main outdoor activities in my family. I had a wetsuit and snorkel long before I had skis, to put it that way. It wasn’t until I was old enough to travel on my own that I discovered skiing, mountains, and climbing. At 19 I moved to Western Norway, and I’ve stayed ever since. Largely because of the mountains."
