Guidelines for Hiking in Wild Reindeer Territory
To help protect Norway’s wild reindeer populations, please follow these precautions:
- Stick to marked trails: Staying on the path reduces the overall human footprint in sensitive habitats.
- Stay still if you spot reindeer: If you encounter reindeer, stop and remain calm. Let the animals move away undisturbed.
- Use binoculars and keep your distance: Observe from afar. If the reindeer change their behavior because of you, you are too close.
- Stay low and mind the wind: Move in a way that keeps you low in the terrain. Try to stay downwind so the animals do not catch your scent.
- Keep your dog on a leash: Always follow local leashing regulations. A loose dog can cause severe stress or exhaustion for the herd.
The Norwegian Mountain Code
We spend more time out in nature, and we use it in more and more different ways. The Norwegian Mountain Code helps you plan and carry out a fantastic trip – which is also safe.
