"Packing for any kind of weather." Norway Packing List Tip by jonkb

Norway What to Pack: 72 reviews and 43 photos

Luggage and bags: For hiking: Backpack of course.
For biking: Bicycle packs
For anything else: Suitcase and a small backpack to carry escensials while walking around.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Raingear is a verry good idea (escensial), but bee aware of that many places are quite windy. Thus consider bringing something else than an umbrella (Raincoat works fine)

Sensible comfortable shoes are a must, even if you're not hiking. I'd recomend waterresistand boots for hiking. Warm boots and warm socks are an absolute must if you're in Norway during the winter. The same goes for the rest of the body.

Summer temperature: Maximum temparature: about 35 deg Celsius. One could expect temperatures down to 10 deg Celsius.

Winter: Minimum temperature: minus 25 deg Celsius. In some inland areas it can get even colder (it was minus 40 deg Celsius during the winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994). Maximum temperature: depending on where you are. The west coast often has a few degrees celsius above freezing (0), but that is as warm as it gets.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Nothing out of the ordinary toothbrush. If you need medicine on a regular basis (eg. heartcondition) you should check with your doctor before leaving. You might need a letter saing that the drugs are medicinal.

Photo Equipment: Bring your camera, tele and wideangle lenses. If you're going to see the midnight sun bring a grayfilter. Film isn't hard to come by in Norway, except if you're planning a trip into the nature of course. Camera equipment is a bit on the expensive side.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Water- _and_ Wind resistant gear is an absolute must.

Miscellaneous: The electricity in Norway is 230 V and 50 Hz.
The plugs are two-pin 'schuko'-plugs with earth on the side of the contact (not sticking out) and 4 mm between the two round pins.
European (not UK) eletrical suplies goes well, but any other types of connection is headed for trouble if you don't bring an adapter.
