While there\u2019s always room to invite more hygge into your life, there\u2019s a new term making its way across the Atlantic from our Northern European neighbors: friluftsliv<\/span><\/a>. Pronounced free-loofts-liv<\/em>, the Nordic expression means \u201copen-air living\u201d and it\u2019s something Norwegians take seriously. Friluftsliv is a commitment to celebrating and embracing life outdoors, no matter the weather. (The popular Nordic phrase, \u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes\u201d could be the unofficial slogan of friluftsliv.)<\/p>\n\n\n The enthusiasm for spending time outdoors, which dates back centuries, is deeply engrained in Scandinavian culture. Norway, in particular, boasts a small population relative to its country\u2019s geographical size, meaning there is plenty of open-air space to get away from crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n . This winter, after getting your fill of friluftsliv, head back inside to snuggle up in front of a fire and unwind in pure hygge bliss. And while you\u2019re at it, lift a glass to our Nordic neighbors for sharing their tried-and-true methods for enjoying the colder months<\/p>\n\n\n Below, we\u2019ve highlighted five of our favorite homes in the Inspirato Collection for embracing friluftsliv and getting fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/inspirato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/frilustliv_1.jpg\")

\nFriluftsliv encompasses outdoor recreation that runs the gamut from a vigorous weekend hike to a leisurely lunchtime stroll, or even a bike ride commute to work.
