EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW when hiking and camping in Norway

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei hei! Thanks for watching the video. Let me know if you have any questions about the right to roam in Norway!

[@falkojael]

Hello Pål, in sept i will be backpacking / wald camping near Furu heim , 135 km north i will end, do i need to worry about bears?

[@norwaywithpal]

@@falkojael Hei! That sounds like a great trip. You do not have to worry about bears. There are some brown bears in Norway, but they are very rare, and the chance you'll encounter one is very very small. And if so they are shy and not aggressive. God tur!

[@falkojael]

@@norwaywithpal thank you for you're awnser, so a bear bag would be not needed?

[@norwaywithpal]

@@falkojael No it would not

[@stevenjohnson7086]

That was very interesting and answered some of my questions! Great job, Pal!

[@norwaywithpal]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching Steven

[@TimNelson]

Marvelous information! By the way, your English is spectacular.

[@norwaywithpal]

Thank you Tim! It helps to have a Canadian girlfriend ;)

[@alexandre9887]

Thank you for your feedback. Resuming a lot the requirements to hiking.

[@alexandre9887]

Any good spot close to Drammen? I'm trying small walkings close to Spirallen. Next step will be a one day camp. Just to be familiar with.

Hi Pal, I must say that if I had discovered your videos before my recent trip to Norway, I probably would have stayed longer. But it doesn't matter, with what I experienced and enjoyed, I understood that I must return and next time with our entire family. I love nature and architecture, so seems to be the perfect place. In addition to touring Oslo for a week, with my wife we did the Rallarvegen bike ride to Flam, and that was amazing. I hope to see in the future some video of yours of that experience. I really enjoy your videos and especially the ones about the way of life in norway. Cheers from Argentina

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Matias! Tusen takk for your nice comment, and I'm glad to hear you had such a nice time in Norway. And agree, I really should make one from Rallarvegen! I drove over Hardangervidda last year, but did not have time to do any biking unfortunately. Take care, and I hope you'll make it back to Norway sooner or later :D

[@donaldpang]

Wonderful, cant wait to visit Norway!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks! I hope you’ll come visit :)

Hello Pål, new subscriber here ... very helpful video! I have been fascinated with Allemannsretten for a while now, and it's nice to learn the relevant rules around it. I will be following your videos in the time to come. Cheers!

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks for subscribing! Glad you found the episode helpful 👍

I’m moving to Narvik after 20 years in the UK … I can’t wait!!! 😀😀

[@norwaywithpal]

Good luck on the move! Enjoy ☺️

[@DJarvis34]

Thank you for this information as i am looking at doing a long distance hike in Norway next year July and will be wild camping for around 10 nights.

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Deon, glad you found it helpful, and sounds like a good plan with some long distance hiking in Norway. Feel free to ask if you have other questions about allemannsretten (the right to roam) etc

[@robsmithadventures1537]

In Ireland we don't have many natural forests unfortunately...lots of our forests were cut down centuries ago. So here people usually walk in the mountains or land that is publicly accessible.

[@morseamarni7431]

Thank u 🙂 Do u suggest any forestes or lakes for camping for tourists from abroad? Thank u

[@tshansen]

So well crafted and so much additional information. I will make sure to share this for people on my channel as well. Really informative and great additions to the stuff you helped me with. If you can add a link to this video in the pinned comment on my video more people will see it Pål. Great stuff, keep on rocking Captain 👏🏻 Cheers

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks Thomas! I will do that :) wishing you a good weekend

Hi Pal! Really useful and nice video! I'm planning my visit trough fjords in April. Will it be too cold in end of April? I'm planning to hike on Skala Mount (1800m) I can't understand if it will be too cold... do you have any tip for me? Thanks :)

[@norwaywithpal]

Hey Marcello! Skålatoppen is a great hike, I did it a few years back. April you can never now. It can be sunny and warm, but it can also be snowy and cold up there. To be on the safe side late May might be better for that hike. :)

[@jrnbrandtzg5594]

Great video, Pål!

[@norwaywithpal]

Tusen takk Jørn!

[@TillerTales]

Nice informative video Pål.

[@norwaywithpal]

It sure is! Very important for our heath

Hiya. Was that in Grefsenkollen?

[@MoussaFaddoul]

Hei hei. Glad I discovered your channel. I'm planning a trip to your beautiful country and found your information and videos very helpful. I have so many questions as I just started my research. Won't bother you, but will continue watching your videos and maybe will connect sometime. Cheers

[@norwaywithpal]

Hei Moussa! Thanks for watching the episode. Cool that you are planning a trip to Norway :)

[@MoussaFaddoul]

@@norwaywithpal Thank you. Would be nice to connect while I'm there. I'm also a photographer and do the occasional travel film.

[@normaluser1228]

hey, awesome video! ive been wondering, if i camp in a national park, who do i get in touch with to stay for more than 2 days?

[@norwaywithpal]

Hi there, there is nobody to get in touch with about this. You just have to move your tent/van every second day and you can stay for an unlimited amount of time

[@normaluser1228]

@@norwaywithpal alright, thank you! i really appreciate the quick answer on a year old video!

[@philipploudon4600]

Hi Pal, thx for the Video! When you arrive in Oslo have 11 Days, a Tent and 2 young and fit boys. What would you do? Any Wildcamping area tipps?

[@norwaywithpal]

Thanks for watching! Are you planning to rent a car, or travel with public transportation out of Oslo?

[@philipploudon4600]

@@norwaywithpal we are planning to go by public transportation :)

[@norwaywithpal]

​@@philipploudon4600 Hi Philipp, there are many options, but all depending on how fit you are... In the forest around Oslo "Oslomarka" you find miles and miles of hiking paths, lakes ++ Stop by the store of the DNT (Norwegian Trekking Association) in Oslo and they can give you tons of good advice. For mountain hiking you could take the train to Finse, hike over the mountain and down the Aurlandsdalen (Aurlands valley) www.outdooractive.com/en/route/hiking-route/aurland/aurlandsdalen/56037558/ Plenty of good info on hiking here: www.visitnorway.com/things-to-do/outdoor-activities/hiking/dnt/ I hope this can be of some help. God tur!

[@piobmhor8529]

I’m heading to Norway soon for hiking and camping. Incidentally, one spot I was considering is the Oslo Kommunes Skoger. I’m in my 60s now and climbing Trollwegen is no longer possible for me. Thank you for the tips.

[@norwaywithpal]

You would for sure enjoy the Oslo forest! 😅

[@piobmhor8529]

I did Østmarka, Nordmarka and Grefsenkollen. Ample parking at all three. I used Grefsenkollen as my base camp, I set up my tent at one of the unofficial camping sites near the restaurant. My favourite was Grefsenkollen as the restaurant at the end was a great reward. Living off dehydrated hiking rations gets a little old and the kyling pizza beats the pants off reconstituted chicken and rice any day. The views were amazing, and got to meet a doe with twin fawns my last morning at my campsite. Thanks for the tips, it really made for a memorable trip.

[@norwaywithpal]

haha some great stories there! I've had that pizza and it's quite tasty@@piobmhor8529

[@StephanKrauth]

Thanks very useful information 👍

[@norwaywithpal]

You welcome! Glad you found it useful :)

[@morseamarni7431]

Can we camp near by the road through a road trip ? Any suggestion for lakes or forsets for camping? Thanks 😊

[@norwaywithpal]

Yes you can camp by the road if you find a suitable place to park. There are so many options for lakes and forests, it depends a bit where is your destination, and you can camp along the way.

[@vincegordon6830]

Wonderful!

[@norwaywithpal]

Tusen Takk!!

[@evygil]

[@szilardszabo2728]

hi. can i camp more then 2 days in the forest?

Camp for as long as you want, as long as you move your camp every night ish

@@norwaywithpal any recommendations for places near Oslo that are calm for a self-healing nature hangout and I also wanted to ask if I’ll need to bring my own ashtray to put out cigarettes and cigars in or if there’s any regulations regarding that ?
