The Norwegian Mountain Code is directed towards your safety.
- Be prepared: Be sufficiently experienced, fit and equipped for your intended trip.
- Leave word of your route: Many cabins, hotels and other lodgings have tour notification boxes in which you may put a written notice of your planned route
- Be weather-wise: You should always be alert to forecasts of bad weather, yet not rely completely on forecasts of good weather
- Be equipped for bad weather and frost: Always take a rucksack and proper mountain gear.
- Learn from the locals: Local people can often tell you about avalanche trails, wind and snow conditions, and the safest routes.
- Turn back in time - sensible retreat is no disgrace: If conditions deteriorate so much that you doubt you can attain your goal, turn around and return.
