Winter in Norway offers adventurous days and dark nights. And there are some places where the romantic vibe is more powerful than others, both in big cities and on hidden islands.
Odd Roar Lange has explored many of these destinations during his journeys all over Norway. He is a widely travelled journalist and the founder of The Travel Inspector, one of the most popular blogs of its kind in the Nordic countries.
Lange has picked seven captivating winter getaways in Norway. This is your ticket to some special moments that you and your partner will be talking about for years to come.
Escape your everyday life and walk hand-in-hand into the cold, dark wilderness in Trysil. Here, not far from the village and your wooden cabin, you can experience a starry sky that is so bright, it lights up the snow under your feet. Romantic, right?
This scenic holiday spot close to the Swedish border is known for its clear skies, and stargazing tours are available here.
“If you're really lucky, you might even witness the northern lights,” says Lange, who also points out that Trysil is Norway's biggest skiing destination.
That means inviting slopes and groomed trails, delicious eateries serving local food, and hotels that suit any budget.
1. Don’t drink too much alcohol.
2. Make a travel budget you both agree on.
3. Turn off your phones and do things together.
4. Be responsible – and take initiative.
5. Don’t isolate yourselves – get to know other people.

Find a map and slide your finger from Northern Norway to the North Pole. Do you see the group of islands in the middle of the Arctic Ocean? That’s the Svalbard Islands – a haven for adventurous couples. Here, you will experience rich wildlife, Arctic nature, and old mining towns with a stark and eerie beauty.
“A romantic getaway to Svalbard and the town of Longyearbyen is something you’ll never forget,” says Lange. He recommends a stay at Basecamp Hotel, where you can enjoy an informal atmosphere and rooms decorated with driftwood, sealskin, and slate.
The white wilderness at Svalbard also offers lots of adventurous activities such as dog sledding and northern lights safaris. You might even spot a polar bear from a distance! Just remember that if you do, keep your distance and do not attempt to approach it.
This coastal town in Southern Norway is famous for being one of the best places to experience Norwegian summer vibes. However, Lillesand is also a great place to get lost for a few days in the wintertime.
Surrounded by steep mountains and wooden houses with snowy roofs, Kvitfjell looks like a scene from a Norwegian fairytale. Here, in the middle of the Gudbrandsdalen valley, you will find everything you need for a romantic weekend.
Gudbrandsgard Hotel is popular with couples and is a top-class ski resort that is just a short walk from groomed trails.
“This is a place where you can enjoy fresh food, spa facilities, and an evening in front of the fireplace,” says Lange.

In winter, the average temperature in Norway is 19.7 degrees Fahrenheit, but the conditions may vary quite a lot. In Oslo and the surrounding areas, snowfall is common and the average temperatures are just below 32 degrees.
The lower inland areas of Finnmark, Troms, Trøndelag, and Eastern Norway can have very cold winters with lots of snow. The inland areas of Northern Norway have an Arctic type of climate with snow, strong winds, and severe frost.
The coastal areas of Fjord Norway and Southern Norway enjoy a milder climate. But large parts of the region is still snowy and cold, and that means good opportunities for skiing, especially in the mountains.
These romantic experiences offer the perfect getaway for couples.
