I have a plane ticket for this friday so that I can take a couple of weeks to hike from Haukeliseter to Sota Sæter. I hope YR is wrong, because it looks like continuous rain. Lets hope for the best!

Thanks, I am all prepared now. Looking at YR.no, temperature seem to be between 3c-10c. And lots of rain unfortunately. I plan using these clothes, is there missing anything in your option?

Hi, I hope that it is alright that I ask a related question here. The bus from Oslo to Haukeliseter that I can take arives at 19:00 in Haukeliseter. This is a bit late (19:00) to go into to mountains. Is it easy to find a tenting spot near Haukeliseter without hiking far so that I can start hiking the next day?

Very clear information, thank you for the effort Grimner. I am still doubting about which sleeping bag I should take, my 3-season bag with a limit temperature of -2°C or my warmer bag with a limit temperature of -12°C. Any advice?

Hi everyone, I would edit my previous topic but that isn't possible, sorry for creating two topics. I am looking to hike the Massiv route (https://massiv.dnt.no/) from south (Haukeliseter) to north (Sota Sæter). I have a few short questions which I hope someone might have answers to: 1. DNT decribes the route from north to south (from Sota Sæter to Haukeliseter). I want to reverse that and walk from south to north because when I look at the map, I think the southern area is easier to hike. This way I am giving my body more time to get used to hiking again. Are there are problems with this choice that I dont foresee? 2. In Lapland I hike with a Garmin Inreach GPS for emergencies. But Lapland seems more remote then the Massiv area, should I bring it or is that really not needed in this area? 3. The only resupply point I found is a supermarket in Tyinkrusset, which I can walk to when walking between Sulebu and Slettningsbu. Is there any other resupply point that I am missing? 4. I have trouble finding at which parts of the route I can exit and find a bus stop in case I need to leave. Is it only Haukeliseter and Sota Sæter or are there other exit points as well? Thanks in advance for the effort!

Hi everyone, A few years ago I hiked the Nordkalottruta / Nordkalottleden route based on advice I got on this forum, which I enjoyed greatly. I especially enjoyed the Norwegian parts because of the mountainous area. I hope to be able to hike for about two weeks in the start of August, is there any route in Lapland or other parts of Norway that is somewhat similar to Nordkalottruta / Nordkalottleden but mainly in Norway and suitable for two weeks of hiking? I sleep in my tent and dont need to use the DNT huts, and would prefer not to take more than 10 days of food at a time (so a resupply after max. 10 days would be great). Are there any ideas for the same feeling of remoteness of Nordkalottleden somewhere else in Norway? Thanks in advance for the effort!

Thank you kindly for all the useful information, both Anders and Ost. Currently, I am studying the route with the Planleggingskarts (Southern and Northern Norway) of DNT. My next questions will be quite a difficult one to answer, and perhaps it is a silly question. Currently, the borders of Norway are still closed, as we are still in the middle of the pandemic. However, if I wish to start walking from the south on the 1th of June, would you believe that the border restrictions will be lifted in Norway? Again, I know it is a silly question, but I dont have a sense of how the situation in Norway is developing. Currently, I am based in Sweden so I could cross the border through the mountains. However, I dont want to enter Norway if Norway doesn´t want me to enter.

Thank you Anders. I have been looking at your blog. When I look at the route (http://www.utentur.com/2018/10/22/kart-med-ruta-vi-har-gatt/), then you seem to be walking straight north at first, before bending towards ths Sweden borden. As I understood it, the mountain-range is mostly at the border. Would you say that the first few weeks were mostly Forest, or are there mountains to the west of the border (when you are still in the south) as well?

Hello everyone. When I posted this topic, the world was still pandemic-free. Obviously, it was not a good idea to walk Norge på langs in the summer of 2020. However, the situation of summer 2021 might be more positive! Thus, I am now again preparing for Norge på Langs. What I plan on doing now, is: 1) Get a large planning map from kartverket 2) Plan the route 4) Get my gear in order 5) Plan food Regarding 2), I am wondering why most people walk from south to north? Is there a clear benefit in doing so? People someone has some insight on this? Furthermore, I understand that the Norge på Langs is not one trail, but rather several connected trails. However, I cant seem to find a list with which trails should be connected, Any insights? Thank you for your time, again!

Thanks alot. Besides carring paper maps, I would like to use a map on my smartphone using GPS. Is there any way of getting the Norgeskart (such as link or link) on the smartphone offline? Is that possible? Also, are there good large planning maps of Norway which can help me look for a route?

Great, thanks. I found someone whom I am in contact with now through the Norge Pa Langs list, it will certainly help. Lets say I walk Norway from 1 june to 1 september (3 months) from South to North, what temprature´s should I prepare for (considering I hope being above treeline alot)?

Hi all, Some time ago, I´ve been helped wonderfully on this forum: link. The Nordkalottruta / Nordkalottleden was truly great, so thanks again! I feel grateful, considering the advice I got here helped really alot. From the Nordkalottleden, I enjoyed the Norwegian mountains the most. There was alot of snow on the mountains, and lakes were still frozen, it was beautiful. So, I now plan on hiking entire Norway, I think its called ´Norge på langs´? All the information I can find, is this list: link. I still know very little about this thru-hike. Is Norge på langs possible to do mainly through the mountains? What would be the correct months to walk, considering I dont want to use skies? Is it even possible without using skies at some point? Thanks already!

Thanks guys. MagnusKJ, Iam not sure about GPX, but I used this one as a backup digital topo map: https://www.kartverket.no/Kart/Hele-Norge-rett-i-lomma/ What do you guys normally buy in supermarkets for hiking food up there? Lots of couscous?

Hello all, In my previous topic on the Nordkalottleden I´ve got some very good help from you all, so thank you for that. Now, I plan on walking this route (the huts are orientation points and not day walks, I will sleep in a tent): From To Sulitjelma Ny-Sulitjelma Fjellstue Ny-Sulitjelma Fjellstue Sorjushytta Sorjushytta Sårjåsjaure Sårjåsjaure Staddajåkkå Staddajåkkå Staloluokta Staloluokta Arasluokta Arasluokta Låddejåkk Låddejåkk Kutjaure Kutjaure Vaisaluokta Vaisaluokta Røysvatn Røysvatn Paurohytta Paurohytta Sitashytta Sitashytta Skoaddejávre Skoaddejávre Cáihnavággihytta Cáihnavággihytta Cunojávrihytta Cunojávrihytta Oallavagge Oallavagge Katterat Katterat Riksgränsen Riksgränsen Palnostugan Pålnoviken Lappjordhytta Lappjordhytta Altevasshytta Altevasshytta Gaskashytta Gaskashytta Vuomashytta Vuomashytta Dividalshytta Dividalshytta Dærtahytta Dærtahytta Rostahytta Rostahytta Gappohytta Gappohytta Goldahytta Goldahytta Kilpisjärvi Kilpisjärvi Saarijärvi Saarijärvi Kuonjarjoki Kuonjarjoki Meekonjärvi Meekonjärvi Pitsusjärvi Pitsusjärvi Somashytta Somashytta Saraelv Saraelv Nedrefosshytta Nedrefosshytta Reisavannhytta Reisavannhytta Madam Bongos Fjellstue Madam Bongos Fjellstue Kautokeino Now, Joachim V (user on this forum) has been so kind to send me a planning map of the whole area (the DNT Planleggingskart Nord-Norge). I took it to a local shop (Netherlands) and this are the maps which we came up with to cover my whole trail: (1) Calazo Fjallkarte - Sarek & Padjelanta 1:100.000 (2) Calazo Fjallkarte - Kebnekaisefjällen 1:100.000 (3) Calazo Fjallkarte - Treriksröset, Abisko & Kiruna 1:100.000 (4) Halti Kilpisjärvi Ulkoilukartta 1:50.000 (5) Norge-Serien - Reisdalen 1:50.000 Iam happy its only 5 maps, because if I did the whole trail in Norge-Serien 1:50.000, I would have too many maps (and mostly, because it would cost too much money). Can I maybe get a general option on these maps if you are familiar with them? Is the Halti Kilpisjärvi Ulkoilukartta a good idea, or is there a much better map for the route I am taking? All the best and thanks!

Hi everyone! It has been some time since you all helped me greatly, and I am almost finished preparing now. Maybe some can look at my gear list and see if something is missing, and/or something is unwise for the conditions? My list: link. Thanks already everyone!
