There is a strong national tradition for mountain hiking, and therefore, over large areas of mountain terrain, things have been organised to accommodate foot travellers.
Stay at one cabin and do short or long hikes. Walk from cabin to cabin. Spend the nights with international crowds in front of the fire. Be lazy and do nothing. Do whatever you want, as you let fresh air and beautiful scenery open your mind.
However, it is important to bear in mind that mountain weather can be deceptive. It is important to bring proper clothing and equipment, including a map and compass.
The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) offers one of Europe's largest networks of marked hiking trails (20,000 kilometres).
DNT routes developed in part from older thoroughfares and local footpaths and in part in response to the needs of trekkers, as ensured by the public right of access. They serve both to guide trekkers, on foot or on skis, and to protect plant and animal life by serving as limited channels for most human foot traffic in the great outdoors.
All DNT routes are clearly waymarked at intervals sufficiently short so you can see from one waymark to the next, even in fog and rain. Footpaths in the mountains are waymarked with the red letter T painted on cairns and rock walls.
Both the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) and the event supplier Norske Bygdeopplevelser organize rambling tours. Norske Bygdeopplevelser also arranges rambling tours with luggage transport.
