You are from outside EUROPE (EU/EEA)

The borders of Norway are temporarily closed for all tourists from the rest of the world (outside Europe), but will open probably soon. The Norwegian government has decided that first tourists from Europe (EU/EEA/Schengen countries) will be allowed to enter Norway and after that travellers from the rest of the world. We expect that tourists from selected countries from the rest of the world can enter earliest in September. We do not know which countries that are and from which date. There might be some restrictions (depending on where you are from and what the situation is in your country). All our trips and courses have a re-booking guarantee free of cost (this means you can change your trip to a new date without fees).
