DNT Sandefjord

DNT Sandefjord is a local branch of the Norwegian Trekking Association, with a visitor centre at Matrosgata 6 in central Sandefjord. It is a useful starting point for discovering hiking trails, outdoor activities and nature experiences in Sandefjord and the wider Vestfold region. The association organises group walks and courses, maintains marked trails and offers outdoor activities for children, young people and adults.

Hiking advice in the town centre
At the DNT visitor centre, you can get advice on local walking routes, membership and equipment for your next outdoor adventure. Whether you are planning a short afternoon walk or a longer hiking trip in Vestfold, the centre can help you get started. Among the local walking options are Sandefjord's Urban Walking Trails, featuring five marked routes around town, and the Sandefjord Ten Peaks Walk, which takes you across ten hilltops overlooking the town and surrounding landscape.

Organised walks for different ages and interests
DNT Sandefjord runs activities and walking groups for a wide range of ages and interests. Barnas Turlag introduces children and families to outdoor activities, while youth groups, senior walks and other organised outings offer opportunities to explore nature together. The association also provides mountaineering activities, courses and adapted outdoor programmes. Distances, difficulty levels, age requirements and booking arrangements vary, so check the DNT activity calendar before joining.
