Hiking in the Norwegian fjell<\/strong> [fyell] (mountains) can be a dangerous enterprise, especially when it\u2019s late h\u00f8st<\/strong> (autumn, fall), vinter<\/strong> and early v\u00e5r<\/strong> [vor] (spring), and v\u00e6ret<\/strong> (the weather) can\u2019t make up its mind\u2026 All of a sudden, you can be trapped by a sn\u00f8storm<\/strong> (snowstorm, blizzard), or forced to climb on rocks that are treachorously slippery in the heavy rain\u2026<\/p>\n

With the intention of making hikers more aware of the dangers, and teach them how to avoid them, DNT (Den Norske Turistforening, the Norwegian Tourist Board) launched fjellvettreglene<\/a><\/strong> [FYELL-vet-reg-leh-neh] a few decades ago. The name rougly means \u201drules of mountain intelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n

The nine rules are as follow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Legg ikke ut p\u00e5 langtur uten trening.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Meld fra hvor du g\u00e5r.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Vis respekt for v\u00e6ret og v\u00e6rmeldingen.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. V\u00e6r rustet mot uv\u00e6r og kulde selv p\u00e5 korte turer. Ta alltid med ryggsekk og det utstyret som fjellet krever.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Lytt til erfarne fjellfolk.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Bruk kart og kompass.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. G\u00e5 ikke alene.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Vend i tide. Det er ingen skam \u00e5 snu.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Spar p\u00e5 kreftene og grav deg inn i sn\u00f8en om n\u00f8dvendig.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In English, that is:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Don\u2019t embark on a langtur<\/strong> (long trip, literally \u2019longtrip\u2019) without training [beforehand].<\/li>\n
    2. Report where you\u2019re heading.<\/li>\n
    3. Show respect for the weather and v\u00e6rmeldingen<\/strong> (the weather forecast, literally \u2019the weather message\u2019).<\/li>\n
    4. Be prepared for uv\u00e6r<\/strong> (storm, bad weather, literally \u2019unweather\u2019) and cold even on shorter trips. Always bring a ryggsekk<\/strong> (rucksack, literally \u2019back-bag\u2019) and the equipment that the mountain requires.<\/li>\n
    5. Listen to experienced fjellfolk<\/strong> (mountain people, hikers).<\/li>\n
    6. Use a map and a compass.<\/li>\n
    7. Don\u2019t walk alone.<\/li>\n
    8. Turn back in time. Turning back is no skam<\/strong> (shame).<\/li>\n
    9. Save your energy and dig yourself into the snow if need be.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Notice the verb \u00e5 snu<\/strong> [oh snoo], which is a really nice Norwegian word for \u201dto turn back\u201d. Take care, and happy hiking! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
