Equipment Each guest must bring a medium-sized backpack large enough to carry a lightweight sleeping bag, insulating clothes such as wool or fleece sweaters, rain pants and jacket, hat, extra wool socks, water bottle, and optional adventure items such as binoculars, etc. High-quality, comfortable waterproof hiking boots are required. A complete gear list will be sent to you in your trip confirmation packet. Destination Wilderness provides all cooking gear, food, and lodging. Nights temperatures range from the teens to 60 degrees.
Rainfall is possible and it can even snow, although snow is very rare in summer.
It is important to prepare for the possibility of inclement weather even though there is a greater chance of warm, sunny days. Each night on the Heart of Norway Trek we eat and sleep in remote, comfortable, cozy and clean mountain lodges. The lodges vary in terms of size, meals, and sleeping configurations. Some of the lodges are owned and operated by Norwegian touring associations and others are privately run. Each cottage provides beds, fireplaces or stoves for heat, meals, drying rooms, and communal visiting areas.
