What is Overlanding?
A more eco-friendly way of exploring the beauty of Norway.
What is Overlanding?
Overlanding is a form of self-reliant adventure travel where the journey itself is the primary goal. It involves traveling over land, often to remote destinations, using vehicles equipped for both transportation and camping. At Norway Overland, we've embraced this concept with a unique twist – we offer fully electric pickup campervans, making us the first and only company in Norway to do so.
Key Elements of Overlanding
1. The Vehicle
The heart of any overlanding experience is the vehicle. Our electric pickup campervans are designed to tackle Norway's steep, narrow, and windy roads, allowing you to explore off the beaten path. They're equipped with roof tents, fridges, and all the camping gear needed for up to 4 people (2 adults and 2 children), ensuring you can camp in comfort wherever your journey takes you.
2. Self-Reliance
Overlanding is about being prepared for anything. Our vehicles come stocked with everything you need for your adventure, from cooking equipment to camping gear. This self-sufficiency allows you to venture into remote areas and truly immerse yourself in nature.
3. The Journey
Unlike traditional vacations, overlanding focuses on the experience of traveling itself. It's about the breathtaking vistas you encounter, the hidden gems you discover, and the memories you create along the way. Norway's diverse landscape of rugged mountains, beautiful fjords, and majestic glaciers provides the perfect backdrop for these adventures.
4. Eco-Friendly Exploration
At Norway Overland, we believe in traveling responsibly and minimizing our environmental impact. Traditional overlanding often relies on diesel-powered vehicles, but did you know that burning just 1 liter of diesel releases nearly 3 kilograms of CO2 into the atmosphere? This happens because carbon is "sticky" and easily bonds with oxygen in the air, creating harmful greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Our fully electric campervans eliminate this environmental burden when travelling, allowing you to explore Norway's pristine landscapes without adding to the carbon footprint. With long-range capabilities and zero emissions, you can enjoy the beauty of nature while protecting it for future generations. Choosing electric overlanding isn't just an adventure – it's a commitment to preserving the planet we love to explore.

As someone who's passionate about the great outdoors, I can attest to the transformative power of overlanding. It's not just about the destinations you visit, but the experiences you gather along the way. Whether you're traversing mountain passes, camping by serene fjords, or discovering hidden waterfalls, overlanding opens up a world of possibilities.
At Norway Overland, we're proud to offer a modern, eco-friendly take on this adventurous lifestyle. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible camping experience while helping you explore the beauty of Norway in an environmentally responsible way.
