We may notice them from time to time, but most of the time they live out of sight.😄 Thanks to our Dutch artist Rien Poortvliet who wrote and illustrated several books about them, we know exactly how they behave, how they feel and how they really live....

The "Barbegazi" (from French "barbe-glacée", "frost-beard") hailing from Alpine folklore is a type of gnome fond of the snowy summits and mountainous terrain.
Hiding in their caves or cottages during summer, they emerge during the winter using their enormous feet as skis to traverse the mountainsides.

Jólasveinarnir, or “The Yule Lads” are the sons of the giantess Grýla. They are 13 dwarves that arrive one by one starting on December 12 and staying each for 13 days, with the final leaving on January 6.
