Frequently Asked Questions

Hut-to-hut hiking is a form of trekking where you hike from one mountain lodge or hut to another, staying overnight at these locations. In Norway, this style of hiking allows you to explore vast natural landscapes without the need to carry camping gear. The trails connect various huts, offering diverse scenic views from towering mountains to serene fjords. This type of hiking is ideal for those who want to experience nature up close while enjoying the comforts of a bed and, in some cases, prepared meals.

Preparation involves physical training, familiarizing yourself with the hiking route, and ensuring you have the right gear. Begin with cardio and endurance exercises weeks before your trip.

While experience helps, many hut-to-hut trails in Norway cater to beginners as well. All the hikes we've chosen are suitable for all levels of hiking experience. We will also help you in assessing your fitness level and experience to suggest the most appropriate choice.

The Norwegian hut system features three main types of huts: staffed lodges, self-service cabins, and no-service cabins. Our agency only uses staffed lodges for the hikes we organize for you in order to give you maximum comfort and eliminate any unforeseen complications with the other two.

Sleeping arrangements vary by hut type. Staffed lodges often have private rooms and shared dormitories with comfortable bedding. Private room availability is a subject of how early your booking will be.

Hut etiquette in Norway revolves around respect and cleanliness. Always register upon arrival, clean up after yourself in communal areas, and be considerate of noise levels, especially at night.

The ideal season for hut-to-hut hiking in Norway is from June to September when the weather is warmer and the days are longer. This period offers the best conditions for hiking, with less snow on the trails and more huts open for accommodation. However, weather can be unpredictable, so always check the forecast and trail conditions before setting off. Summer storms are not really a thing in Norway, but there's a higher chance of snow even during this time than in central Europe.

Meals are provided in staffed lodges, usually including breakfast and dinner, and sometimes packed lunches. It is still advisable to carry some snacks, especially on longer hiking days. In comparison to the Alps, there aren't as many huts, meaning you often won't stumble upon any in between the ones where you're spending the night.
