Spring is the season of joy in Fjord Norway – Spring in Western Norway is a special time. Both nature and people wake up from their long winter slumber. The days grow longer, the sun’s warmth can be felt again, and the first crocuses and daffodils spring forth. At Easter, you will have the fjord towns in Fjord Norway almost to yourself. Large parts of the population head to the mountains at Easter for their last skiing trip of the season. In May, the green and blossoming fruit trees are a unique and beautiful sight against the blue fjord and the mountains, which are still capped with snow. The roaring rapids are at their biggest this time of year, and the melted ice gives the fjords a green hue.

Spring truly is a season of contrasts and transformation. As the first signs of spring unfold down in the valleys in late April/May, it can still be full-on winter up in the mountains. Spring is a popular season for slush spring skiing, usually in shorts and a T-shirt, and dedicated cross-country skiers with tan lines can still be spotted in the cross-country tracks up in the high mountains. It can also be a wonderful time to cycle or hike along gravel roads and on historical trails, with rivers of meltwater cascading down the mountain sides and wild flowers stretching towards the sun along the side of the road. The locals also have a real spring in their step, as brighter times lie ahead.

Spring in the North is two steps forward and one back. 

Spring in Northern Norway is an attitude thing. Leave every idea of spring flowers at home and pack all your warmest clothes. Don’t forget your sunglasses. You’ll have a whale of a time in the best weather of the year.

Spring in Northern Norway can be glorious; I was once on the island of Vega in early April. The countless little lakes froze over at night, but in the bright midday sunshine, the tiny purple saxifrages were blossoming. A few days later, I went to the North Cape behind a snowplough. Again, the sun was glorious, and we drove in a snow corridor to a totally snowed-in North Cape. Then, in Tromsø, I saw people shovel snow from their roofs after an extra solid snow shower. Nah, for Tromsø an average one. In the north, we often say there is no spring. It’s winter, then the snow melts, and that’s the start of summer. A slight exaggeration, there is some truth to it. Bring warm clothes and enjoy both winter and summer activities in Springtime.
