From mighty fjords to major mountains, Norway has become a massive playground for adventure. These landscapes make Norway a haven for outdoor people. So, if you want excellent experiences with nature, here are 10 epic outdoor experiences for you.

1. Hike to Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue):

Just a jagged sliver of rock jetting out horizontally from the mountain over Ringedalsvatnet, Trolltunga boasts one of the iconic views in Norway.

It is a tough hike of about 27 kilometers there-and-back and must be undertaken in one full day.

And then, the pay-off- a picture that will literally take your breath away.

2. Kayak through the fjords:

Paddle through peaceful waters of the fjords, flanked by majestic cliffs and angry waterfalls.

Have the possibility of experiencing the tranquillity and magnificence of such minds a most singular experience by kayaking through them.

Two of the best areas to kayak with your friends are Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord.

3. Chase the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis):

Experience its surreal dance: the Aurora Borealis is that evening when the sky is incredibly brightened and revealed in glorious colours.

The best time to head north in Norway is between September and April during the cold periods. At this time the skies are too brightly lit by all the dark nights.

Some of the best places you can hunt Northern Lights include Tromsø, Alta, and the Lofoten Islands.

4. Skiing or Snowboarding in the Norwegian Alps:

With clean, green slopes and snow plus sceneries of the very high mountains, Norway has truly been endowed with one of the largest ski resorts in the world.

Try cross-country skiing through snow-covered forests or downhill skiing on exhilarating slopes.

Popularly known skiing destinations, Hemsedal, Trysil, and Voss are among them.

5. Whale Watching:

This is done for another kayaking trip, where you would have the chance to watch the wonderful marine mammals in the wild.

You may be able to witness the footprint left by orcas, humpback whales, and sperm whales.

A very popular whale-watching place is Andenes located in the Vesterålen Islands.

6. Trailing Preikestolen (or Pulit Rock):

Up to Preikestolen, climb steeply up the cliff up to 604 m above Lysefjord. 

The panoramic views from this cliff to the fjord and on the surrounding mountains are breathtaking sights.

Apart from some steep sections, it is a relatively easy climb except for the old and infirm. 

7. Venture to Lofoten Islands:

Dramatic landscapes of Lofoten Islands-the rugged chain of islands towered by peaks, quaintly set fishing hamlets, and sparkling sand beaches.

Soaring, biking, paddling, or simply soaking up the views and unwinding.

The islands’ natural and cultural charms are unique gifts. 

8. Dog Sled Driving:

Rejuvenate yourself by snow sledge driving with a band of hyperactive huskies through snow-covered terrains.

Sweep through the wilderness while the smile of joy haunts you, floating through the snow. 

There’s dog sledding across the length and breadth of Norway.

9. Wild Camping:

The right to roam, or in preservation parlance: “Allemannsretten”, allows you to camp anywhere. 

So grab your tent, find that perfect site, and live out your dream of wilderness camping. 

Pack out what you pack in, and respect the environment. 

10. Via Ferrata climb: 

Nothing quite like the thrill of climbing a mountain face via the wire-ferrata route. 

These routes come equipped with fixed cables, ladders, and bridges, thereby enabling people with little experience to go through them. 

Two favorites are Loen Via Ferrata and Romsdalseggen Via Ferrata.
