Snowfall. January through May, October through December are months with snowfall. In Bergen, during February, snow falls for 7.8 days and regularly aggregates up to 104mm (4.09″) of snow.

Windy conditions in high humidity will make the city feel much colder than it actually is, so come prepared with an arsenal of winter warmers. Snow falls in Bergen every odd day or so, but hardly accumulates more than 10 centimeters. Compared to the rest of the country, the snowfall is nothing to get excited about.

The eventful month of February, much like January is a winter month. The average minimum temperature is about -7 °C (19°F), and the average maximum temperature is -2 °C (30°F).

Winter in Norway can be bitterly cold, even into April. Temperatures are regularly below freezing and many parts of the country are blanketed in snow. January and February are dark and the coldest months, so if you’re heading to one of the ski areas in Norway, pick March.

Not surprisingly, February is one of the coldest months of Norway’s calendar year where temperatures range within the 20-30 degree Fahrenheit range—especially if you’re in Oslo, central Norway, or anywhere in the north.

It is geographically possible to see the northern lights in popular destinations like Oslo and Bergen. In Bergen, a city on the shores of a fjord, the light pollution isn’t as bad as in Oslo, so you may have a good chance of seeing the northern lights if they’re strong enough.

three days
It turns out that three days is the ideal amount of time to visit Bergen. Being a small city, you can cover its main attractions on foot and still have time left over, yet not so much time that you get bored.
