How to Show Consideration on Your Hike
Enjoying the outdoors is a shared experience. Following these simple guidelines ensures that we protect nature and respect our fellow hikers.
Respect the Environment
Leave No Trace: Always practice "traceless travel." Carry out everything you bring in and leave the area exactly as you found it.
Protect Nature and History: Avoid damaging vegetation and keep a respectful distance from sites of cultural-historical value, such as stone ruins or burial mounds.
Do Not Disturb Wildlife: Maintain a respectful distance from birds and animals, especially during nesting and breeding seasons.
Respect Others
Keep the Peace: Many people hike to enjoy the silence. Avoid loud music or unnecessary noise that may disturb the tranquility.
Share the Trail: Be courteous and make room for others, whether you are walking, running, or cycling.
Respect Private Property: While the Right of Public Access is broad, always respect the privacy of those living in houses or cabins near the trail.
Key Concepts for Hikers
"Leave No Trace" (Sporløs ferdsel): This is the golden rule of Norwegian hiking. If you brought it in, you take it out. This includes everything from food scraps and orange peels to hygiene products.

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.
