Outdoor Adventures in Norway
There is no shortage of outdoor adventures in Norway. From hiking the highest mountain in Norway, to via Ferrata with the longest bridge in Europe, to famous Trolltunga or Kjeragbolten hikes, to hiking on the edge of the highest vertical wall in Europe, to ice climbing, visiting hidden ice caves, dog sledding, or ice skating on the lakes and fjords during winter in Norway.
There are also many opportunities for hiking in Oslo, for Oslo day trips, and fun things to do in Oslo in winter.

The ultimate outdoor adventure destination is Svalbard, with the world’s northernmost town and more polar bears than people. Check snowmobile trips on the frozen sea here and what to do in Svalbard here.
