Travel Guides
Norway is a small country with more moose than people. A lot of the country consists of mountains and forests so don’t be surprised to find yourself in the middle of nowhere with no cell-reception on one of your adventures. The country is blessed with harsh seasons which makes the best times to visit either during the summer months June to August or during the winter months December to February, depending on what you want to do.
Summer in Norway can be unpredictable so make sure to bring plenty of warm clothing. If you want to explore the mountains of Norway hiking this is the right season to do so. There are so many scenic hikes all over the country, just take your pick!
If you’re looking for a ski holiday during the winter Norway can offer this as well. However, you might want to travel north or up the mountains in the centre of Norway to ensure you get to experience a true winter wonderland.
