Recommends a calm Easter start

The Red Cross recommends a calm start to Easter due to strong winds in several mountain areas on Friday and Saturday, and also precipitation this weekend.

– For many, it probably makes sense to take a calm start to the Easter holidays so that you do not have problems getting to the mountains or have problems in the mountains with challenging weather and conditions, says Kenneth Gulbrandsøy, deputy head of the National Council for the Red Cross Auxiliary Corps to NTB .

With a moderate risk of avalanches over large parts of the country, all trips should be well planned, and the steepest routes should be avoided, even if the auxiliary corps is ready to assist.

– Throughout the Easter week, it evens out, and there will be changing weather both here and there. The meteorologist’s package tips: Sunscreen, windsock and chocolate.
