The adventurous mascot at Nesfjellet!

Meet Nessy, the charming and imaginative fox who loves children and adventures! Nessy is the mascot of Nesfjellet, and is always ready to spread joy, laughter and good memories - whether it is on snow-covered slopes in winter or green mountain trails in summer.

Nessy is happiest when it's possible to meet new friends, play in the snow, share hugs and take part in children's activities in the mountains. Who knows – maybe you'll catch a glimpse of Nessy on the lift, at ski school, or when something extra fun is arranged for the kids? 

You can meet Nessy especially on the alpine slopes, or on one of Nessy's activities
 

The story of Nessy 

On a small island in the South, a small fox named Nessy was born on a starry night. As the sun rose above the horizon, the fox opened its eyes for the very first time. Here Nessy was greeted by the big sea, warm palm trees and golden sand under her paws. Growing up in the South was great! Nessy could run through the village streets with her siblings, chasing butterflies and lizards between the legs of slow tourists. On the beach, crabs were hunted and holes dug in the sand. Life was a game. 

There was really no reason not to be happy with life in the South. Still, Nessy was not quite like the rest of the pack. An imaginative fox who dreamed of making his own tracks. Nessy had noticed the tourists coming by plane. Where did they come from? It was a question that made Nessy curious. Could you hide in a little girl's luggage and join the journey? It was a tempting thought. In the evenings, Nessy often sat on the rocks by the sea and looked out over the sparkling sea. When the sun went down and drew the sky orange and pink, my thoughts disappeared away from the South and towards a completely different world.

Stories about countries far to the north, where the mountains rise into the sky, were exciting. Nessy was carried away by the dream and decided – despite her young age – to embark on a journey. With remnants of sunscreen in the whiskers, the landscape changed. The warm, golden sand turned into creaking snow under her paws. 

The days passed, and Nessy learned to survive in this new, cold landscape. Her fur, which had been golden and red, became thicker and whiter – perfect for keeping warm. Along the way, Nessy got to know a group of snow foxes who showed how to hunt in the snow and find shelter in the coldest winter nights. Then, one day... here... Here it was! "My new home!" In the Norwegian mountains, Nessy settled down. Among skiers and cozy cabins. The place was called Nesfjellet, but could just as easily be called paradise. Here Nessy found the joy and security that was missing. Nessy made new best friends on the ski slopes and kept in touch with her family in the south with fox postcards (merch). The family was proud of the little beach fox that became an arctic fox – and rules over the snow-capped peaks of Nesfjellet. 
Today, the alpine center at Nesfjellet has named its own lift in honor of Nessy. 

See you on the ski slopes!
