About FERDEN

Outdoor life is Norwegian culture. Safety should be free.

FERDEN is built to make trips safer and easier to plan — without charging for what matters most.

Why FERDEN exists

In Norway, we go out. To the mountains, on skis, into the forest, along the coast. It's part of who we are. But good tools for planning — and for sharing where you are — have been scattered across many apps, locked behind subscriptions, or built for an entirely different country.

FERDEN gathers what you need in one place: planning, Norwegian maps and weather, packing lists, recording — and a simple way to share the safety with someone at home. Built for Norwegian conditions, with an eye on the rest of the world.

The founder

An app I wanted myself.

FERDEN started from my own need: to head out and know that someone I trust can follow along — without expensive gadgets or subscriptions. Safety shouldn't cost extra.

Then it grew: routes, gear, weather, avalanche data, and a small community around the trips. But the core is the same — plan your journey, share the safety.
