Discover Fjord Norway in Autumn – Some outdoor activities are best experienced in autumn, for instance hiking or kayaking.

The mountains look fantastic in their autumn splendour, and although the temperature has started to drop, it’s often still pleasant.

You don’t have to go very far either – there are easily accessible hikes in the vicinity of the towns and cities in Fjord Norway.

Although the days are getting colder and shorter, the autumn season is probably the most underrated season of the year. Witness the autumn color explosion that takes place in September and October, breath in the crisp air and walk through forests abound with fresh berries and mushrooms. Besides hiking and biking, canoeing, moose-scouting and horseback-riding are popular activities during autumn. To the locals, autumn is the hunting and harvest time, a time to reconnect with nature through active experiences and fresh, seasonal produce. If you are looking for spectacular food and nature experiences without the crowds (and at a lower cost), autumn is the perfect time to visit. It is also a great time for unique wildlife experiences for animal lovers!

Hiking is particularly beautiful in August and September – By mid August, the insects are gone, the water in the streams and lakes are clear and transparent and you can pick tasty blueberries on your way. This is the favourite time of Northern Norwegians to go hiking. The snow has melted from the highest peaks, so it’s all open everywhere. The autumn colours of September are a downright invitation to climb even the highest mountains, and this is also a good time to do glacier hiking. The glaciers are at their bluest now that the snow of this year is gone.
