Summer

Late June to early August is when summer is at its peak. This is when the weather is at its most stable and warmest with sunny, long and bright days. It is not unusual with temperatures reaching 25°C and above. Why not try the joys of summer skiing?

Autumn

During the cause of September the landscape is painted in golden colours. Red clusters of rowan berries hang on naked branches. Autumn also means harvest time along the fjords. Farm children may stand by the roadside, selling you apples, pears and plums – tastier than any you have had before.

Winter

Wintertime, usually from November, turns the mountain areas of Fjord Norway into a skier’s paradise. Gales, rain and cloud are likely along the west coast, particularly in winter, and the rainfall is frequent and heavy.

Thanks to the warming Gulf Stream, the Norwegian fjords enjoy a relatively mild climate and remain virtually ice-free even during the winter.

Spring

During springtime the most amazing colours burst forth to honour the warmth of the rising sun. Orchards of flowering fruit trees along the Hardangerfjord in May are images of paradise.

Remember that the weather and temperatures can change quickly, especially in the mountains. So whether summer or winter, autumn or spring – bring good footwear and warm clothes.
