Dozens of people die in the Norwegian mountains every year. Most of them broke one of the same nine rules. In this guide, we go through everything you need to know before hiking in Norway, from the Fjellvettreglene mountain rules to gear, weather, navigation, wildlife, and what to actually pack. Made in collaboration with the expert mountain guides at Beito Aktiv.

This is aimed at beginner and intermediate hikers planning summer hikes. Winter is a different rabbit hole, and we'll cover that separately.
