Development and filming

TV 2 greenlit the first season of the series in October 2011. Filming for this season started on 9 January 2012. This season used various colours for route markers; yellow and red, yellow and white, and yellow and green, whereas in the original version, a single colour scheme is used. The non-elimination penalty was called a Handicap (''Handikap''). It affects teams by making a certain task in the next leg harder for the team or by giving a penalty. For example, in the second leg, Martha & Elise had to make 75 dung cakes instead of 50 and make a higher stack of dried dung cakes than the other teams in order to receive their next clue. In Leg 10, the team was required to do both Detours. This season was the first international spin-off (and second edition to date) in which the location of the Starting Line was also the location of the Finish Line:
Holmenkollbakken Holmenkollbakken is a large ski jumping hill located at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway. It has a hill size of HS134, a construction point of K-120, and a capacity for 70,000 spectators. Holmenkollen has hosted the Holmenkollen Ski Festival since 18 ...
