When in Norway is a carbon neutral company
Walking in the woods of Oslo is a very sustainable way to vacation, and thus we make an extremely small footprint on nature. We mainly use public transportation, much of which is electric, on all of our tours in the fjord, forest, and city. All garbage (our or other's) is taken back and recycled accordingly.
Our focus is on taking care of nature, so that the gorgeous forest can be preserved for the future generations. We are proud that we get to show so many guests the Norwegian way of interacting with and caring for nature.
Our wish is that everyone have a good experience in Norwegian nature. Today and tomorrow.

This is how we work with sustainability
The concept
The idea behind When in Norway is that everyone can enjoy outdoors with minimal impact on nature.
How we work
We try not to use paper at all and not to print anything. We support our guests online/by phone and don't require any printed vouchers.
Before the tour
Our guides meet their guests in our easily-accessible downtown tour center - no need for one-time printed signs! We recommend that our guests bring reusable water bottles to limit plastic use.

Transportation
We use public transportation on our tours - it is a great way to get to know a local culture, by the way! Trains in Oslo are super efficient and quick. No need to hire a private car at all. If we buy a train ticket for you, it will be either digital or on a reusable card.
On the tour
We follow the forest paths and try to preserve the nature as it is. If we see some trash, we pick it up.
Food and drinks
If you buy lunch or drinks with us, please know that we try to work with suppliers setting focus on sustainability. That means coffee cups made of renewable materials and plastic bottles made of recycled plastic. It is still work in progress. The most sustainable solution is to bring your own thermos with coffee/water.

Preserving the nature
We encourage our guests to respect nature, follow Leave No Trace principles, and appreciate the beauty and importance of our forest. Let's all do our part to protect and cherish these natural wonders for years to come.
At When in Norway, we believe that preserving the clean and virgin forests around Oslo is crucial for the well-being of our planet and future generations.
