In Norwegian, there is a saying that “when hiking, you are never
angry”, or in Norwegian: “ut på tur, aldri sur”. This really
summarizes Norwegian hiking culture. We love being in nature:
hiking on mountain tops; walking in a forest; or taking a stroll
by a lake. In Norway, we are raised in this hiking culture. But
don’t worry if the thought of walking hours in the mountain don’t
appeal to you; going on a “tur” can also be going for a short
walk around the block. We often call it: “getting some fresh
air”.

Another great Norwegian saying that we use is “there is no bad
weather, only bad clothes”. In Norway, we have to deal with quite
a lot of harsh weather conditions. It can be very cold, wet and
windy. However, this does not stop us from going out in nature.
You simply have to put on enough clothes. And always bring some
extra clothes when going out. Even though it might be sunny and
warm when you start going, it tends to be considerably colder on
top of the mountain. Therefore, always bring clothes that you can
put on in case the weather changes or if it is cold at the
summit.

Hiking is also about having a good time, so bring some food and
drinks. It is very normal to bring some coffee to enjoy at the
top. Or how about the famous “hiking chocolate”. Kvikklunsj is a
Norwegian chocolate that we often bring with us when hiking.
