What to Pack on a Hiking Trip?

Packing efficiently is key for a successful hiking trip. Here are essentials every hiker should have:

• Appropriate Clothing: Layering is key. Include moisture-wicking base layers, insulating layers, and a waterproof outer layer.
• Good Hiking Boots: Waterproof and sturdy boots with good ankle support will make a difference.
• Navigation Tools: A reliable GPS and physical maps of the area.
• Camping Gear: For multi-day treks, bring a lightweight tent, sleeping bag, and mat.
• Cooking Equipment: A portable stove, fuel, lighter, and utensils.
• Emergency Kit: Includes a first aid kit, multi-tool, headlamp, and emergency blanket.
• Sustainable Supplies: Reusable water bottles, biodegradable soap, and trash bags to pack out your trash.
• Food: High-energy, lightweight foods such as nuts, dried fruits, and energy bars are ideal.

​Kjeragbolten: Situated 1084 meters above sea level, this boulder wedged between two cliffs is a popular destination for thrill-seekers. The hike is challenging, covering 12 km round trip and taking 6-8 hours.

​Romsdalseggen Ridge

Known for its breathtaking views, this hike spans about 10 km and takes 5-7 hours to complete. You'll see the best of Norwegian fjords and mountains, making it a must-do for any hiker.

​Jotunheimen National Park

Besseggen Ridge: This is a demanding 13-15 km trek that offers stunning views of Gjende and Bessvatnet lakes. Most hikers complete this in one long day, but it can be extended to a more leisurely two-day hike with a stay at a DNT (The Norwegian Trekking Association) hut.

​Aurlandsdalen

This historic 40 km trail takes you through lush valleys and high mountains, typically over three days. It's known for its rich flora and cultural landmarks.

​F.A.Q.

Campervan or Tent?

• A campervan offers unparalleled comfort and convenience, particularly in unpredictable weather. For longer treks away from your base, a lightweight tent is perfect for overnight stops.

Can I Camp Anywhere in Norway?

• Thanks to the Right to Roam law, you can camp almost anywhere in Norway's uncultivated land for up to two nights at a time. However, ensure you are at least 150 meters away from the nearest inhabited house or cabin.
