Norwegians are experts at combining an appreciation of the country's wild
beauty with a true sense of adventure. There's a seemingly endless list of
summer activities, but winter is a wonderful time for heading out into the

The right to wander at will in Norway has been inscribed in law for centuries and
there's world-class hiking throughout the country. The best trails traverse glaciers or
climb through the high country that, by some estimates, covers 90% of Norway.
