Signification
Walking in nature.
Contexte culturel
The 'Matpakke' is essential. It's usually simple bread with cheese. If you bring a fancy salad on a 'tur', people might look at you strangely. The 'Fjellvettreglene' (Mountain Code) are rules everyone learns to stay safe while 'på tur'. Rule #1: Plan your trip and inform others where you are going. Sunday is the national 'tur' day. Most shops are closed, which encourages people to head into nature. The phrase 'Ut på tur, aldri sur' is a national motto. It means that being outside makes you happy, no matter what.
Greeting others
When you 'går på tur', it is polite to say 'Hei' to everyone you pass, even if you don't know them. This is one of the few times Norwegians talk to strangers!
Cotton kills
When 'på tur' in the mountains, avoid cotton. Use wool (ull) to stay warm, even if you get wet.

The Matpakke rule
The walk isn't official until you sit down and eat your sandwiches. The 'pause' is just as important as the 'walk'.

3 questionsYes, if you are in a large park or forest area within the city (like Nordmarka in Oslo). If you're just walking on a sidewalk, 'gå en tur' is better.
Technically yes, but 'gå på ski' is the winter equivalent. You wouldn't say 'gå på tur' if you are cycling; you'd say 'sykkeltur'.
In 'gå på tur', 'tur' acts more like an abstract activity (like 'go to school'). Adding 'en' makes it a specific, countable trip.
