The Top 3 Things to Do When You Visit Norway

This video is about, “Things to Do When You Visit Norway”, the westernmost, northernmost and in fact the easternmost of the three Scandinavian countries. Best known for the complex and deep fjords along its west coast which stretches from the North Sea near Denmark and Scotland into the Arctic Ocean and has borders with Finland, Sweden and the north-western tip of Russia.
A great introduction to Norway is the one-day Norway in a Nutshell package on a single ticket from Oslo or Bergen into the mountains, with a boat trip through the fjords. You can break the trip at several interesting cabins for walking or just admiring the view, and even hire a mountain bike for part of the journey. One of the highlights of the 'Norway in a Nutshell' package is Flåmsbana, a 12.4 miles railway that's one of the steepest in the world. Along the way you'll see beautiful mountains, rivers, valleys, waterfalls, and other beautiful sights on your way to the town of Flåm.
Another great way of experiencing and learning all about Norway is by going on a guided excursion. Norway Excursions, provides all sorts of excursions, from sightseeing to hiking. A local guide will take you to the most interesting and beautiful places and tell you all about the fjords and mountains, history and culture of the particular region you visit.
Let’s see three major things to do when you visit the place,
No.1. Hiking
Norway has endless opportunities for hiking in its wide wilderness, from easy walks in Oslo's city forest to alpine climbing in Jotunheimen or Troms. A number of areas are protected as national parks, but most the country is equally attractive and available to the public. In Norway, travellers enjoy a right to access, which means it is possible to camp freely in most places for a couple of days, as long as you're not on cultivated land and provided you are at least 150 metre away from houses and farm buildings. Don't leave any traces and take your rubbish away for recycling. The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association operates many staffed and self-service mountain cabins, marks mountain routes, offers maps and route information, guided tours, and several other services for mountain hikers in Norway. Mountainous areas are popular among both Norwegians and tourists. Why not visit Galdhøpiggen, the highest mountain in Norway, or join a musk ox safari in Dovrefjell!
For maps, bypass Google Maps, whose coverage of Norway is poor, and try the national mapping agency's Norgeskart dot N O site, which concords with their excellent printed hiking maps.
No.2. Skiing
Both cross country and alpine skiing are popular sports in the winter, and the largest areas, Trysil,Hafjell or Hemsedal for example, compete well with the Alps. Telemark is also a nice area to ski in, it is also the birth place of cross country ski. Voss, Geilo and Oppdal are other major ski resorts. Around Oslo there is large park ideal for cross-country skiing. In Stryn, at Galdhøpiggen and at Folgefonna there alpine ski centres that are open in summer only, that is from May to September, offering unique opportunities for alpine skiing in T-shirt and short pants.
No.3. Cycling
In Norway, virtually everywhere you can rent a bicycle. Cycling routes exist usually near bigger cities; you can find some tours at Cycle tourism in Norway. Some roads and tunnels are forbidden for cyclists as they are life-threatening. Some city dumps may have a special section where you can pick up discarded bicycles and other stuff for free.
Norway has several stunning places to visit. From large, bustling and modern cities to small fairytale villages situated in one of Norway's many fjords. Remember the major things to do in the most beautiful country in the World.

The Top 3 Things to Do & Places to Go in Norway
Norway - Hitchhiking, Free Camping & Hiking - Preikestolen, Kjeragbolten, Trolltunga & Bergen
In late September 2016 I spent 2 weeks hiking and hitchhiking around Norway taking full advantage of the Norwegian free camping law.
In total, +-80km were hiked, +-360km hitchhiked.
This was my first time hitchhiking and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel through Norway. Yes, we did have long waits on occasion but everybody who picked us up were really friendly. We got really lucky on our longest leg when we got picked up by a German lady (who had driven from Germany) who was heading way up north to visit friends - I actually drove the whole way :)
This was my first taste of Norway and I feel like I haven't even scraped the surface. I will definitely return someday, perhaps in the winter for some Northern Lights action.
