6 Best Hikes in Norway 🇳🇴

Hiking in Norway, Europe. A solo hiking road trip to Norway, exploring its wild and pure nature. After researching dozens of blogs, vlogs and hiking apps, I selected these 6 hiking trails as the best mix for the diverse landscapes this Nordic country has to offer. The first 3 hikes are in the Southern or Central part of Norway, the remaining 3 hikes are located in the far North — within the Arctic Circle — on the Lofoten Islands and Senja.

Hiking alone in Norway is one of the best hiking road trips I've done so far, and September is a very good month for it as the weather is still mild but the crowds of tourists already partly gone. I deliberately excluded the famous 3 rocks — Trolltunga, Kjerag and Preikestolen — from my list as they are have become too popular (maybe I'll do them in a separate trip sometime), so my list includes these a bit less known trails.

This is possibly my favorite video I’ve ever seen. The quality and the way you narrated is amazing. Thank you so much.

I have seen a lot of videos about going through Romsdalseggen and this one is the best. Great filming, music and narrative! Spectacular drone filming!

[laurareed]

These hikes were so peaceful and not very crowded, unlike a lot of other hiking videos I have seen for Norway; this is definitely more my kind of hiking!

[sergio_b]

Amazing! Like a breath of fresh air in a daily routine. 🙂

Simply breathtaking my friend, these shots are simply incredible!

[MichaelMelder]

This is such awesome beauty, when i used to watch Viking movies i always used to admire the beautiful trees and landscapes.

[TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

Another great round of hikes! Austria’s Alps really have something special in every category. Can’t wait to try these trails out - especially the ridge hike. Thanks for putting together such an awesome guide!

Norway tourism should adopt this master piece, the videography, the music the narration was on point. The best video I've seen thus far about Norway hiking, Bravo sir.

[Hanskoppelman]

Amazing guide. Not too long and beautifully photographed. Some of the best drone shots i've seen in these kind of video's. You deserve more views man!

I love to visit Norway . It is one of the most beautiful countries on earth . It looks similar to New Zealand ! I don’t think I will ever have a chance to visit these countries . All my husband thinks about investing money on shares which are a waste of time and therefore, don’t have the money to visit . At least I can watch your amazing video and I am grateful for it !

Great video you have inspired me to go here thanks

[khmerskidetekytw]

great trip, beautifully pictured; I especially liked the shots of You climbing the mountain filmed from distance at 17:28

[ondroid]

Thank you for making us enjoy your channel. It is truly worth millions of views. I hope it becomes the same💔

[nielsmiddelburg]

Amazing video! Can you just fly your drone out wherever you are aside from near an airfield, village or festival? Not sure if you get in trouble if not registered or something, although there’s so many far remote places.

Hat off to you dude, I love hiking, but when it goes too narrow, (between @18:00 and @18:20) I stop there, I am scared of height when I am too close of the cliff, especially when on both sides. I went on Trolltunga, but the rock is wide enough and I did not go to the tip, so, it was not that bad. Again hat off to you and your beautiful video.

amazing video, what drone do you use?
