## What is Fjord Trail?

Fjord Trail is your hiking companion for the Norwegian mountains — built on official, open Norwegian data and designed to work even when you lose signal.

• Live distance, time, pace and heart rate as you walk

• Sign in (Apple or Google) only to contribute routes, suggest edits or publish trails
