Therefore, bring a map and compass when going on a trip in the outdoors - they always work. Also see the Norwegian Mountain Code at https://www.dnt.no/en/mountaincode.

Ratings and reviews

Nice app but the newest version is very data hungry, it keeps often updating and downloading a lot of data even over mobile connection. I'm all for pre-downloading and caching for areas with no connection but it should not happen every time I open the app! And not on mobile data, unless explicitly allowed.

Seems like the app has been fully rewritten in the last update. I can set filters, but nothing appears on my map, no trips, no cabins, nothing. Pretty useless. I saw it trying to download something when I opened the app for the first time after the big update, but it seems the download broke and got stuck on 1% after my phone locked. I have cleared all cache and data, downloaded again, but no data shows up in the app anymore.

The idea of this app plus its content is just amazing and worth 5 stars. But, the amount of small issues and lack of usability is what makes it lacking. For ex., it's been impossible to create lists and/or add routes to lists, even to the default one in the app. It's such a simple feature, and the fact that it fails is frustrating. Also, the filtering options are very limited. Ex.: I was suggested more than 1000 trips in a search, but I can't filter by hours, distance, days, and difficulty.

What’s new

What we care about, we also need to protect!

In Norway, we have more than 3,000 protected areas of all sizes—natural environments that are important for preserving species, habitats, and landscapes. That's why we've made it a little clearer whether the hike you're planning takes place in a protected area, and what you need to keep in mind when visiting one.

Have a great trip!
