Norway - Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions

This is an official announcement record

Firsthand records what US State Dept Travel Advisories announced and links to the original. The wording below is theirs, not ours.

There was no change to the advisory level or risk indicators. Advisory summary was updated. Exercise normal precautions in Norway. Advisory Summary Norway is generally a safe destination for travelers. Be aware of landslides and avalanches. Norway’s steep mountains make these common. Heavy summer rain or winter snow accumulation can cause them. A special kind of clay called “quick clay” (kvikkleire) can cause ground to collapse in some areas where people live. Keep your belongings safe. Watch your wallet, phone, and bags in busy tourist spots like hotels and transit stations. Review our Travel
