Hello Norway trekkers! Next week, my wife, 8-year-old daughter and I (all athletic) plan to do some hiking around Lysefjorden and Lofthus for about three days. One would be a day trip and the other would include an overnight at a hytta through ut.no. (I may become a DNT member.)
Looking online, I see that prices for hiking apparel are pretty high in Norway compared with the US, and European countries. We'd like to buy these items at a discount:
- adult and child hiking boots
- adult and child waterproof jackets
- lakenpose
- wool socks
- gloves
Any tips on which stores to visit between Gardermoen and Lysefjorden? maybe Sportoutlet? I tried to check out at finn.no, but a Norway mobile phone is required, and I don't have one, nor a shipping address.
Tusen takk!

Even if you find a place that sells discounted sports gear, there is no guarantee they will have it in the sizes required.
I would *strongly* recommend you get the gear you need before arriving.
Sport outlet
Maybe try the letgo app? It’s for buying and selling used items.
I have a girlfriend visiting soon from abroad that need some clothes for winter and the outdoors.
I plan on going to the local Frelsesarmeen (Salvation Army) store and get everything.
If you dont mind second hand – there is ALOT of cheap and great options there. Especially at my local one as I live in a village that is big on tourism. All hotels here usually give them their lost and found if nobody claims it within a month.
There is surprisingly amounts of last years functional clothes availible there. Might see if there is any Salvation Army shop close to Lysefjorden or on the road to it?
