The Norwegian Mountain Code

Take our digital outdoor course: Leave No Trace

The Right to Roam (Allemannsretten) grants us the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors more or less freely. But what does this right actually entail? Can you swim from private docks? What are the rules for campfires, and what—if anything—can you actually leave behind in nature? And let’s be honest: how do you actually go to the bathroom outdoors?

Take our Leave No Trace course for English speakers here.

The Right to Roam

The Right to Roam (allemannsretten) allows us to travel and harvest in the countryside freely. However, this right comes with the duty to consider nature, landowners, and other hikers. By setting a good example and cleaning up after ourselves, we ensure that future generations can enjoy the same experiences we do today.
