Our Story
Founded in 2020 in the heart of Galway, Ireland, Moonbirds was born from a passion for Norwegian mountains and a vision to make hiking safer and more accessible for everyone. Our founders, avid hikers themselves, recognized the need for a comprehensive platform that combines trail information, weather updates, and community features specifically tailored for Norway's unique terrain.
What started as a small project among friends has grown into Norway's leading hiking platform, serving over 12,000 active users and featuring detailed information on more than 847 trails across the country. From the iconic Preikestolen to the challenging Trolltunga, we've mapped every significant trail to help adventurers explore Norway's natural beauty safely.
