High Season
From mid-June to mid-August, lodging and service reservations are scarce due to the high season. The climate is very varied, there are sunny and warm days or cool and rainy.
Shoulder Season
May and September have a clear and temperate climate with fewer crowds. It is advisable to book accommodation and other services in advance; the prices are usually high except for weekends. They are two months suitable for cultural activities.
Low Season
In winter (October-April) tourism is scarce due to winter winds and snow. Prices tend to fall in almost all services, and most attractions close. The days are much shorter and darker. There may be an increase in tourists in northern areas, in weeks of northern lights.
Your trip to Norway

Your travel to Norway has about 35% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.
Of your yearly CO₂ Budget
35%
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends.
If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
