I lived in Bergen for 6 months, can't speak to anywhere else (spent a bit of time in Oslo). Norway is like Canada in many ways in terms of outdoor activities and beauty, and the weather was similar (except it rains a lot more and is much cloudier in Bergen). So if you're really big on hiking etc. then it would be great, but not much different than Canada. The food is bad, everything is super expensive, stores/services have odd hours, the people aren't exactly welcoming. Honestly - there are much better places to go and much better ways to spend your money in terms of travel IMHO.
