My man has his heart set on going to Norway sometime in October, but we've never been there before, and we arent sure what the weather is like , if its already snowing (though I know its a long country with a big variation between north and south ) We havent decided where to go or what we want out of the holiday, but it wont be camping, we'll be staying in accomodation, but I would like to get out into nature whilst we are there. Any recommendations?
Whats Norway like in October?

Joanna Lumley in the land of the northern lights. Only thing is it's spring rather than autumn when she's there but it was still a good programme and worth watching

Last year I was in Lofoten at the beginning of September.
That's about 200 klicks North of the Arctic circle.
On the 3rd of September, the day I left, there was the first snow on the ground at sea level.
I was told that was about a month earlier than normal.

Last year as Wayland said the first snow came in early september in Lofoten and in Bodø were I live. It could also come as early as in in august (but it hasn`t this year
). But the first snow seldom lies more than a week.
Last winter the snow didn`t come before 9. january (in Bodø that is). Before that we had several snowfalls wich all melted away.
But the country is long and it the weather in the south differs from the weather in the north, and inland weather differs from the coastal weather.
My advise is; find out were you will go first, and then use the link from Susi to see what weather you could expect.
By the way the weather in Bodø is currently 9deg Celsius and mix of cloud and sun.
