I'm not a dialect expert by any stretch of the imagination but we have a great variety in dialects in Norway to the point where each valley has its own peculiar dialect. Me being from the south east understand next to nothing of the dialects in the south west, and some of the more local dialects up around the Trondheim counties are like Greek to me as well. Mostly the rest are fairly recognizable bar for the local words they might use.
As for Swedish, the one dialect I understand the least, that is I understand very little if at all, is the Scania dialect in Southern Sweden. Dialects from Gothenburg to Stockholm are a lot easier to the point where I can have a meaningful conversation.
