Weather

Check out the weather on yr.no. The weather can change fast - especially in the mountains. Plan your activities accordingly and be prepared!

Public transportation

Travelling in Norway happens mainly by train, bus, boat or plane. Beware of the long distances when you plan your movements within the country. Read more at Visit Norway.

Camping in Norway - right to roam

For camping in nature: the right to roam allows you to set up tents or hammocks completely free, most places in Norway, but that requires you to follow some rules. However, in some popular (tourist) areas that right is restricted, so better to check first

Visit/hiking

Some useful websites on attractions and nature experiences:

National scout events

Here you can find our own national events, some might be open for visitors (information is in Norwegian, but it's quite intuitive).

Campfire

You are allowed to light campfires between 15th of September and 15th of April in Norway. Campfire rules and safety tips for scouts (in Norwegian).
