Filming Across Norway
OSLO
A compact capital with striking modernism, historic quarters and efficient access to lakes and forests. Notable
nearby locations include Langvann at Hakadal in Nittedal, featured in major international productions.
BERGEN AND THE WESTERN FJORDS
Gateway to Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord, with colourful Bryggen facades, fast crew access and weather-resilient
cover sets. Atlantic Ocean Road and the hairpin ascents of Trollstigen offer high-impact driving sequences and aerials.
GEIRANGERFJORD AND VALDAL
Sheer cliffs, waterfalls and mirror-water bays deliver scale for features, TV and car spots. Nearby Valldal’s Juvet
Landscape Hotel has also provided iconic backdrops.
STAVANGER AND THE SOUTHWEST
Home to Preikestolen – Pulpit Rock – with epic 604 metre drop vistas used in global blockbusters. Offshore and
coastal assets support marine shoots with robust safety planning.
TRONDHEIM AND CENTRAL NORWAY
Nidaros Cathedral, historic streets and easy access to forests and rivers. The mining town of Røros and art nouveau
Ålesund offer distinctive period looks.
NORTHERN LIGHTS, LOFOTEN AND TROMSØ

Testimonials
How easy is it to get permits
Norway is production-friendly. Minimal-impact shoots in many public areas outside central Oslo can be permit-free, while closures, drone work, protected nature and city streets require approvals. We manage the process and timelines for you.
Do I need a visa or work permit
Requirements vary by nationality and job role. As Norway is in the Schengen Area, allow time for visa or work authorisations where applicable. We provide checklists and local advice to keep your schedule on track.
Can I hire equipment in-country
Yes – Norway has established rental houses in Oslo and regional suppliers across major hubs. We source to spec and build weather-ready contingencies.
What is the climate like
Expect long summer days – including midnight sun above the Arctic Circle – and low winter light with reliable snow in many regions. Aurora filming is typically strongest from September to March.
