Help!! What to do with the luggage?

From the US, I am planning a fall trip to Norway over a three week period. It includes the northern lights, Oslo local, and the NIN. I'm not a newbie to European travel but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out the luggage piece of this puzzle with respect to the an NIN tour that will include the overnight stay options.

Can I assume that I can leave major luggage at a hotel in Oslo that I will return to after the NIN? If not, what are my other options?

Is there any convenient options for taking small roll on luggage on the NIN overnight stays which I do not have to drag behind me the next morning while doing tours?

Luggage wise, the bottom line here is that I do not want to do this NIN thing with only a tooth brush and change of underwear in my hip pocket, nor take along my entire closet of clothes.

Any help on this problem would be appreciated.

Yes. Hotels typically have left luggage rooms. We did the NiN ahead of a hut to hut ski tour. We left the skis gear at our Oslo hotel when we checked out and retrived in ater getting back from Bergen. We've left city clothes at hotels when traveling to the mountains for ski tour. Never had a left luggage problem at hotels.

Hi rmill, I’ve never had a problem asking a hotel to hold my luggage but why don’t you just contact them and ask? Agree that it would be much easier to just take your carry on or backpack on the train. Hope you have a great trip!
