It depends on the service type. Norden Explore offers two options: the Free Planner and the Group Trip Form (paid).

Free Planner (up to 4 people)

Ideal for individuals, couples, or small groups. We don’t make direct reservations — your itinerary includes trusted links so you can book on your own.

Group Trip (5+ people)

For larger groups, we offer a paid service with full coordination. Norden Explore handles planning and reservations for accommodation, transport, and activities — including human support and personalized curation. Administrative fees apply.

Free Planner

The itinerary is suggestive — a ready base you can follow or adapt as you wish. No custom adjustments are available in this mode.

Group Trip

Fully flexible. Our team tailors every detail to your group’s rhythm, budget, and preferences.

• Free Planner: Sent within 5 minutes after form submission.
• Group Trip: Delivered within 48 business hours, including detailed partner analysis.

Yes — but safety always comes first. Winter driving conditions in the Nordic countries can be challenging, and it’s essential to be well-prepared.

• Norway, Sweden, Finland: Winter tires with the 3PMSF symbol are mandatory; studded tires allowed (some cities charge a fee).
• Denmark: Not mandatory but strongly recommended during snow or ice.
• Iceland: Winter tires are essential, and 4x4 vehicles are recommended outside the capital.

If you’re inexperienced with snow driving, we recommend trains, buses, or domestic flights. Check if your driver’s license is valid or if an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required.

• Northern Lights: Late autumn to end of winter.
• Green landscapes & long days: Spring and summer — perfect for fjords, hiking, and villages.

Norden Explore helps you plan the ideal trip — with comfort, nature, and authenticity, all year round.
