Furway (Furway)

Furway is Norway's hybrid outdoor furry convention, based at Åstjern hyttetun in Brandbu, Norway. It sits in the same broad retreat family as camp-style events, but it is more structured than a simple meetup and more cabin-centered than a tent-first camping trip.

2026: Furway's Hybrid Outdoor Weekend

The official site currently lists July 10-12, 2026 for Furway's main days, with July 9-13 available through its Early & Late arrival options. That combination is the clearest expression of what Furway is trying to be: a compact Nordic furry convention that keeps formal programming but gives attendees more room to stretch the weekend.

Furway matters because Norway still has relatively few furry conventions with this kind of recurring presence. It has its own site, a stable venue identity, and a format that is different enough from the larger continental European cons to stand on its own.

Getting There

• Flying: Oslo Airport (OSL) is the obvious international arrival point for most visitors.
• Ground travel: Brandbu is a drive-oriented destination, so expect a rail-and-rideshare or direct car route for the last leg.
• Plan the extra day: If you want the full Early & Late option, treat the trip like a longer retreat rather than a strict weekend con.

Accommodation

• Cabin venue: Åstjern hyttetun is central to Furway's identity and keeps the event closer to a Nordic lodge trip than a city hotel.
• Early/Late flexibility: The site explicitly supports a wider stay window than the core three-day event.
• Outdoor emphasis: Pack like you are headed to a rural Norwegian venue, not a downtown convention center.

Past Years

2025: Åstjern Summit. Furway 2025 hosted the Norwegian community at its traditional Åstjern hyttetun venue. The intimate gathering focused on shared meals, nature hikes, and communal living in the heart of Norway.

Highlights

• Norway's recurring con: Furway is one of the clearest recurring Norwegian furry conventions.
• Hybrid format: It blends convention structure with a retreat-style environment.
• Flexible stay model: Early and Late arrival options broaden the weekend.
• Small-but-recurring identity: Furway has enough continuity to justify evergreen coverage.
