Before you go
Exposed plateau: storms, drifting snow and convoy driving; stay with the car.
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Norway before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
