Snowshoe Trip in Norway – Tarp or Tent recommendation?

Where are you going in Norway? It's a big country! That said, you are likely to be camping above timberline on exposed sites in many areas. Standard tents for this are tunnel tents such as Hillebergs and geodesic domes. I've used both successfully in big storms in Norway. They are quite heavy however. Single skin pyramid tents can also work well. I used a GoLite Hex 3 (now Shangri-La 3) on a ski tour in Sarek in Arctic Sweden and it worked fine dug into the snow.

Hi Chris,
I plan a trip to Dovrefjell national park. A 60 km trip from Kongsvoll to Lonset, 150 km south of Trondheim.

Hi Johannes, Doverfjell is big open tundra country. I've been there once but don't know it very well. Camp sites are likely to be exposed so I'd certainly want a wind resistant tent. I'd probably use the Hex 3.

Hi Chris,
yes I heard a lot of good things about the Golite Hex.

BTW can you recommend Doverfjell for a first snow trip in norwey? I am still open for a good ideas.
