Trekking in Norway

Highlights

Hike along classic routes through celebrated hiking areas and capture the essence of Norway

Equal parts stunning seascapes and wild landscapes, Norway has given rise to a country of seafarers and land lovers. Nowhere does the love of the outdoors and a passion for hiking thrive more than here.

From Oslo we will travel west by railway to the highest stop on the Oslo - Bergen line, Finse. Descending at this isolated outpost we will begin our hike through the Aurlandsdalen. Almost certainly used by the Vikings and later by mediaeval cattle and horse drovers, this 3-day route follows an ancient east-west thoroughfare to the shores of the Aurlandsfjord. Until 1970 it was only possible to travel down this valley on foot. The valley still retains a wild feel, and the route ranks as one of Norway's most beautiful and classic hikes. Arriving in the village of Aurland, we'll then transfers by ferry and bus to the very eastern end of the Sognefjord, to begin our hike through the Jotunheimen Nasjonalpark ("Home of Giants").
