Spring in Norway

March, April, May

Spring in Norway is a time of awakening. The melting snow reveals the green of the forests and the bright colors of wildflowers. The Norwegian landscape becomes particularly stunning in spring. Waterfalls, fed by melting snow, are at their most powerful.

With the arrival of warmer temperatures and longer days, Norwegians eagerly take to the outdoors. Spring is a popular time for hiking, fishing, and particularly skiing in the mountains, where snow often remains until early summer.

Spring is also a time for celebrations and traditions. May 17th, the Norwegian Constitution Day is a high point of the season, with parades, national costumes, and public festivities across the country. These celebrations support local communities by preserving their authenticity and creating lasting jobs.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Norway truly depends on what you want to experience. If you’re dreaming of long days filled with outdoor adventures, the summer months from June to August are perfect. During this time, the weather is warm, and the days are almost endless, giving you ample time to explore hiking trails, enjoy fjord cruises, and immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Norwegian fjords.

For those enchanted by the idea of witnessing the Northern Lights, the winter months from December to February are ideal. This is the prime season for Northern Lights tours, and you can also indulge in skiing and experience the festive atmosphere that envelops the country during this time.

The shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October offer a different charm. These months bring milder weather and fewer crowds, making it a great time to explore the cities and fjords at a more relaxed pace. Whether you’re hiking through U-shaped valleys or enjoying the tranquility of the fjords, visiting Norway during these times can be incredibly rewarding.

What Airport to Fly into Norway for Fjords?

Choosing the right airport for your fjord adventure in Norway depends on your specific destination. For the breathtaking western fjords, Bergen Airport (BGO) is your gateway. This airport offers convenient access to some of the most iconic fjord landscapes, including the Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord.

If your journey takes you to the eastern fjords, Oslo Airport (OSL) is the best choice. From here, you can easily connect to various parts of the country, thanks to Norway’s excellent public transportation system. Other airports, such as Ålesund Airport (AES) and Tromsø Airport (TOS), might also be suitable depending on your itinerary, especially if you’re planning to explore Northern Norway or chase the Northern Lights.

Norway’s public transportation network, including buses, trains, and ferries, is efficient and well-connected, making it easy to travel between cities and fjord regions. Whether you’re embarking on a nutshell tour or a self-guided adventure, getting around Norway is a breeze.
