Hi!
I’m travelling to Norway next week, starting in Voss. I understand meths (Rodsprit?) is widely available in petrol stations, but not sure where else – can you buy it in supermarkets and campsites?
Thanks

Not in supermarkets as far as I’m aware. I would not rely on most campsites either. Sports shops (one shop or more in most towns) will sell it. There are gas stations everywhere in Norway and Biltema (large home appliances stores) will also sell it in the bigger towns.
Thanks – I’ll make sure to stock up when I pass a petrol station then!
Rural grocery stores might have “rødsprit” as they often cater to tourists/hikers but gas stations is a safer bet. And most places with a grocery store also have a gas station.
We will be travelling from Nord Kapp to Oslo and are wondering about purchasing Renset bensin for our stove. In Denmark e found it at a Hardware Store. Any thoughts about where to buy it in Honningsvag?
I would try the Interport sport shop in Honningvåg. Find their number on Google and phone them. Or the shell gas station in the town will probably sell it too. Lastly There are also many camp sites in the area between honningvåg and Nordkapp – some of then might sell it or know where to buy it. Once again find the numbers and phone them.
And what about Campingaz? I mean this: https://www.campingaz.nl/gas/gascartouches/noname/SP_2918871.html
Not really a Norwegian thing, I’m afraid. But maybe they sell it somewhere?
Sports shops will sell camping gas: for example – https://www.xxl.no/coleman-c300-performance-gas-rod/p/1169267_1_style
