Lysebotn, Eiane and the areas around Sirevaag has some nice bouldering in beautiful settings.

Romsdalen is another world class area.
I havent found any online guide but you can order one here:

"buldrefÃ¸rer" means guidebook.

2 hours from Bergen is a good place called Odda:

And then there is Nissedal in Telemark, truly classic!

That should cover some of the better areas in the southern part of Norway. For the north I havenÂ´t got a clue, but Lofoten is supposed to be great!

Best place I found was Harbak, about 100km north of Trondheim. A field full of perfect granite boulders with stunning views/solitude and only 5 minutes flat walk from the road. There doesn't seem to be a guide for this place, only directions, but you wouldn't need one

There is a Trondheim climbing guide, which you can buy locally. It is in English too, which is a bonus.
