Welcome to Norway!
In the last decade ecotourism has has gained increased popularity in Norway. The Norwegians show more and more interest in local food and approach local producers to buy food right from the ones who make it. In addition, the travel restrictions the two past summers forced Norwegians to take their vacations within Norway, and the motorhome sales sky-rocketed. The time was thus more than ripe to bring the invitations formula concept to Norway, and Nortrip was established and had its first season in 2021.
When Nortrip first launched in July 2021, we had 30 hosts. The network has since increased steadily, and the time of writing, 95 hosts have joined the network. As people are more and more conscious of environment, we decided to offer a digital Nortrip guide in addition to the physical Nortrip guide. The digital Nortrip guide is essentially an app with an overview of the hosts. Additionally, it is possible to filter hosts based on facilities (food serving, toilet, dogs allowed, long/heavy motorhomes allowed, etc), and it also includes a digital membership proof that can be shown to the hosts. Access to the digital Nortrip-guide is of course included to those who buy the book, but it is also possible to buy just the digital app.
In 2022 we have farms and farm shops, mountain shielings, dairies, museums, micro breweries and cideries among our hosts. To learn more about Nortrip, visit www.nortrip.no.
