This is what the TV 2 profiles do at Easter
Easter is making its entrance this week, and many may choose to spend the yellow holiday at home with Easter crime and crossword puzzles, on a sun lounger with an umbrella drink or down the slalom slope on the mountain.
TV 2 has taken a chat with a bunch of media house profiles about their plans and traditions for Easter.

To the mountains
For The Voice presenter Siri Avlesen-Østli (38), it will be both city Easter and a cabin trip with the parents-in-law in Engerdal.
– In Oslo, there will be Easter coziness and long dinners with family – and we always have Easter egg hunts in the garden. On the mountain, there will probably be some trips for the children, and solve with a crime novel by Arne Dahl on me, since I still walk on crutches after Achilles surgery, she says.
The 38-year-old further says that she and her husband have introduced a number of Easter traditions after they had children.
– We are very happy at Easter. Easter races are always arranged where we have toys, compete and dress in yellow, in addition to Easter egg hunts. We also eat for dinner and Easter candy continuously. Very cozy.
Like Avlesen-Østli, Good Morning Norway host Vår Staude (55) takes a break from the TV studio, and recharges the batteries in the cabin with the family in the Easter sun.
– Christmas was wasted due to the corona, but now we are making a new attempt to gather. My daughter Malin, who is studying in Copenhagen, comes with her Danish boyfriend who is going to try her hand at cross-country skiing for the first time, she says, and continues:
– We have a cabin at Skeikampen and the rule is that everyone does what they feel like and enjoys themselves as much as possible. I have just crossed the Finnmarksvidda on skis and take the mountain skis for some nice summit hikes at Skeikampen.
Also Simon Nitsche (30), known from TV 2 Sporten and Skal vi danse, and now host of the TV 2 new initiative I fyr og flamme, is planning the Easter trip to the mountains.
– Probably it will be to travel to Trysil with some friends, and just ski and be there, and have fun, he says.
The host has been used to going to Germany to visit the family at Easter. In recent years, however, it has not been written down in stone, and the 30-year-old takes it a bit as it comes.
Home Easter
TV 2 Sport’s Marius Skjelbæk (31), who is currently in Kompani Lauritzen, says he will probably stay at home during this year’s Easter celebration.
– “Late Easter this year” is something you say every single year, but this year it is actually that. I am a little tender of mountains and snow, so there are relatively high chances that I will stay in the lowlands and enjoy two to three degrees and cold winds in the capital.
From good Easter memories, Skjelbæk highlights a radio classic.
– I was a big, big fan of the Easter maze on P1 for many years. To me, Viggo Valle has been as great as Jesus during the feast, he noted.
Home Easter will also be on Good Morning Norway profile and the Clearing Revolution current Desta Marie Beeder (34).
– At Easter I will be home a lot, since I commute so much to ordinary. I did not grow up with any cottage life at Easter, so for me, city Easter is absolutely superb. Then it is so quiet and calm in the city when everyone else has gone to the mountains, she says.
However, Beeder takes a trip to the capital to see his little brother try his hand at the NM requirement in the 10,000 meters at Bislett.
– Then sister must line up.
For the person from Bergen, there are several things that give the Easter mood.
– It’s good Easter cream, and then it’s all the good food. I like this holiday, because like at Christmas it happens so much, with gifts to be bought, family parties and so on. Easter does not have as many obligations, so I am really very fond of Easter, she says.
Abroad
While someone swears by Easter at home or in the Norwegian mountains, the new Farmen host Niklas Silseth Baarli (33) has instead chosen to travel to more southern areas.
– I’m going with my husband and mother-in-law to Malta, down to the holiday home of the mother-in-law. Drive around down there and risk your life, the 33-year-old says jokingly.
– It should be delicious with a little sun, wine and good food, he continues.
It will also be no holiday without a little loving giggle.
– The only Easter tradition I have is that I usually get scolded by Benjamin (husband, journ.anm.) Because I forgot to buy Easter eggs for him. So I look forward to the annual insult that he has bought Easter eggs for me, but that I have forgotten about him, he says.
Not quite so far from Baarli, TV 2 news anchor Cathrine Fossum (44) is in Spain. She has replaced the usual Easter life on Ringebufjellet in favor of the beach in Marbella.
– It’s going great so far. Very nice with sun, sea and summer in April, she shares.
It will be a bit of an Easter decoration for Fossum, but one thing remains.
– I usually decorate quite a lot for Easter, but this year the decoration is in the stall. The only tradition that is followed this year is Easter egg hunting with the children.
