Hostelling Information

Hostelling in Norway

Hike over glaciers; bike around lakes and fjords; go cross-country skiing; see eagles, moose and reindeer in the wild; visit unique wooden stave churches; eat prawns and smoked salmon. In summer Norway is a land of the midnight sun, in winter the northern lights can be seen - particularly in areas stretching beyond the Arctic Circle. The east offers Oslo, the sleek, chic capital full of intriguing galleries and museums, as well as the scenic beauty of Telemark county with its vast forest and mountain areas. The west features the historic city of Bergen, a good starting point for exploring the picturesque fjords of the region. To the north are snowcapped mountains and the remarkable island archipelagos of Lofoten and Vesteralen. Ranging from comfortable modern buildings to old wooden houses and fishermen's cabins, Norway's hostels are well located in some of the most enticing parts of the country.
