Fjord Trail — Support

Your hiking companion for Norway — trails, cabins, weather, and avalanche safety.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a trail show only a pin and no route line?

Routes come from official and open trail data. A few trails don’t yet have marked-route geometry available, so we show the trailhead only rather than guess a path.

Why is the weather or avalanche info missing?

Weather and avalanche warnings are fetched live. If you’re offline, or a region has no current avalanche warning (common outside winter), those sections won’t appear.

How do offline maps work?

On a trail’s screen, tap “Download for offline”. This saves the map tiles and trail content for that area so you can view them without a signal. Downloads stay until you delete the app.

Why does the app need my location?

Location is used only while you use the app — to show your coordinates for safety, find trails near you, and get weather for your area. See our Privacy Policy. You can turn it off in iOS Settings.

Is Fjord Trail a substitute for proper trip planning?

No. Always check current conditions, carry a paper map and compass, tell someone your plan, and follow the Norwegian Mountain Code. In an emergency call 112 (police) or 113 (medical).
