    Authorities say there's a high risk of avalanches in the regions of Nordland, Troms, and Finnmark this weekend, and the police are advising people not to travel to the mountains.

Many people have had to evacuate their homes.

Two avalanches have closed the access road to the cities of Hammerfest in Finnmark, with warnings issued of very difficult driving conditions because of the huge amount of snow and strong winds.

Experts at Visit Norway advise checking the varsom.no website for the latest information on avalanches. Weather information can be found on the yr.no website. Experts also advise skiers to only use certified guides.
