A thousand years of skiing history
Local legends connect Kullaberg with the earliest ski competitions. Stories tell of King Harald Bluetooth and the warrior Palnatoke testing their skills on its steep slopes more than 1,000 years ago, considered by some historians to be the world’s oldest reference to a ski race. Even today, one of the cliffs is known as Palnatoke’s Slope.
