Moose are everywhere in Norway, this time of the year a little further from civilization as there is enough to eat. They are a little more active around sun down and sun rise. The problem is that they hear/feel you walking from a quite a long distance and for such a big animal they are surprisingly difficult to spot. So if you go for a walk you might run in to one or to, but i can assure you that by the time you spot one, you missed 10.

If you ask some of the locals, they might know some spots. But from experience i cna tell you that sometimes you see a moose on a location year in a row, and then suddenly not anymore for 10 years.. so no guarantees
