Country – Norway

What it feels like to be there…

The land of Husky dogs and intrepid arctic explorers, Norway is a place where humans live magnificently against the environmental odds. As wild and cold as it is outside, the locals have mastered the art of warm living. Enjoy snow crystals making your hair icy-crispy, safe in the knowledge a sauna isn’t far away.

Some practical information worth knowing…

Oslo is Norway’s largest and best-connected international airport, but Tromso (a 2.5h flight from Oslo) also runs a few international flights. Both service Norway’s many domestic airports, some of which take days to reach by car. The climate can be surprisingly hot in summer, but bitingly cold in winter, especially in the far north.
