White Winter Arrives in Norway. A Fairytale Landscape

In Beitostølen, snow settled already in the early morning hours. In other towns, such as Tonsåsen and Vingromsåsen, snowfall was also visible, and some roads were covered with a thin layer of snow.

Traffic flowed without major disruptions, and drivers exercised caution. On the Lygna plateau, no snow was recorded this time, confirming the high variability of local weather conditions.

Meteorologists point out that although snow has appeared relatively early, it does not yet mean the permanent arrival of winter. Temperatures in the region may rise again in the coming days, and the white powder may disappear from the ground.

In the past, similar snow episodes have occurred in October, but they did not last long. Observations, however, indicate that in higher mountain areas, the snow cover may persist longer, which is good news for skiing enthusiasts.

Local authorities remind drivers of the obligation to adjust speed to road conditions and the need to switch to winter tires in the coming weeks. In Beitostølen, snow removal has already begun on main streets to ensure the safety of residents and tourists.

Most roads remain passable, but in mountainous areas it may be slippery, especially at night. In several places on routes towards Dokka, a thin layer of ice has been observed.
