Allemannsretten (Everyman’s Right): You can hike and camp almost anywhere in nature, as long as you respect private property.
Trails: Look for red “T” markers painted on rocks — the DNT (Norwegian Trekking Association) maintains trails nationwide.
Popular hikes:
Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) – 4 hours, stunning fjord views (weather didn't hold out for us!)
Trolltunga – 10–12 hours, iconic cliff ledge
Romsdalseggen Ridge – 7–9 hours, panoramic valley views
Reinebringen (Lofoten) – short but steep, famous Instagram view
Safety tips:
Always bring waterproof gear and food, even on short hikes, bring extra water and electrolytes
Weather can change in minutes — check Yr before heading out. We also used Windy which was super accurate.
Poles are useful on steep/rocky trails.
