Overview


This book describes 20 walking routes in the main mountain areas of Norway, ranging from the far south to the Arctic regions. Chosen because they are of particular interest to the visiting walker, all trips described are accessible by public transport. Many of the mountain areas are close to one another, making it easy to connect different routes for a fortnight's holiday. Route descriptions divided into daily segments, vary in length from a few days to a week. Fact panels provide information on level of difficulty, base, maps etc. Introductory sections to each chapter detail unique information about each region and transport to the area. Summary tables list the hourly estimates of the walking time necessary between points on a route. Route profiles provide an approximate picture of a trail's steepness, and trail maps give an instant picture of the entire route.

Synopsis

This text describes 20 walking routes in the main mountain areas of Norway, ranging from the far south to the Arctic regions. Chosen because they should be of interest to the visiting walker, all the trips are described because they are accessible by public transport. Many of the mountain areas are close to one another, making it easy to connect different routes. Route descriptions, divided into daily segments, vary in length from a few days to over a week. Fact panels provide information on the level of difficulty. Introductory sections to each chapter detail information about each region and transport to the area. Summary tables list the hourly estimates of the walking time necessary between points on a route. Route profiles provide an approximate picture of a trail's steepness, and trail maps give a picture of the entire route.
