If so, then I think this is useful for you.

You can choose area; I klicked on ''Sogn og Fjordane'' and ''Store Skagastølstind'' and it took me here: http://www.westcoastpeaks.com/Peaks/storen.html
Skip the writing if you like, and klick the pictures - they are good!
If you have never climbed a mountain before, but are fit and love to walk outside, perhaps Gaustadtoppen in Telemark is a good start for you.
My mum was at Fannaråki (2068m) once, and she told me you can go from Turtagrø and up to the top and back in one day - the best view she had in her life! But if you are too tired to return you can stay the night at a hut at the top of Fannaråki - there is no luxery bath and a good bar, it is just a small house, simpel food, and if there are many climbers there you might have to sleep on a mat on the floor. Many climbers spend a week in the mountains living like that! They call it ''holiday'' but it's not my type of fun, I tell you - I'm too lazy!
Fannaråki is in Sogn og Fjordane, Jotunheimen, Sognefjell, in the same area as the highest mountains in Norway; Glittertind (2465m) and Galdhøpiggen (2469m).
July and August is the best time for walking in Norwegian mountains, if you are hoping to see snow but not to walk in it for hours. And hopefully you get good weather and not snow from above!
You can stay at Turtagrø (or a hut near by), and give your GS a rest while you walk for a day or two.
For the easiest mountains (not Store Skagastølstind! That is a job for experienced climbers!) you can do it with good shoes - not special boots for climbing. I don't think your riding boots are perfect for walking all day.
I hope I gave you a reason for going to Norway with your GS, and NOT to go to Nordkapp!
If you make a plan for a mountain, and you get bad weather that morning, then just go for a ride or leave the area with the bad weather!
If you make a plan for Nordkapp, and you get bad weather those days up there, then you have 'lost' some good days, and all you saw was fog and tarmac...
I hope I gave you a good idèa.
Liv.
