From Mountains to Fjords

Your adventure tour starts in the morning from the capital of Norway, Oslo. You will meet your guide at the bus central station at 9:45 AM, and team up with the other hikers. We will travel like locals, and go on the public bus to Gjendesheim Mountain Lodge. At our accommodation at Gjendesheim Mountain Lodge in the national park of Jotunheimen you will be served a traditional 3-course dinner in the evening.

Ask any Norwegian about today’s adventure - Besseggen, and they will know what hike and mountain area you will visit. The view from the ridge is simply stunning, and Besseggen is the area for some of the most beautiful nature pictures in Norway. Our night is spent at the traditional Memurubu Mountain Lodge. Should the weather prevent us from attempting the ridge, we will hike around the lake to our next destination.

Today, you will be hiking the mountain trek Bukkelægret. Many people think the hike over Bukkelægeret is every bit as lovely as Besseggen, if not more so. There are some scrambling sections, but no more challenging than the day before with some chains to assist us in steeper sections. We have the whole day, so we won't rush more than we need to. The area is known for the rich blooming of various mountain flowers, and the blue, almost turquoise-colored water creates a beautiful contrast to the mountain terrain. In the evening, you will be served dinner at Gjendebu Mountain Lodge.

Today is our last day on the historic route through the national park of Jotunheimen. We have two route options to get to our destination. Regardless of which route we choose, we will hike in green and lush valleys with rugged peaks surrounding us. Eventually, we arrive to at cabin DNT-cabin Fondsbu, and we are transported from there to our accommodation for the evening. You can look forward to a nice local dinner in the evening, in our cabins at Filefjellstuene.

Today's adventure takes us to the Kings' road. The Kings Road was awarded the EU prize for Cultural Heritage in 2017, and it is a beautiful hiking terrain. During the day, you will also visit the stave church of Borgund. In the evening, we head back to our accommodation at Filefjellstuene.

After a healthy breakfast, we will visit the beautiful valley of Utladalen. Our transportation goes directly from our accommodation, and from Utladalen, we will hike to Avdal, an old farm situated on the hillsides. In the valley, you will find some of the most impressive waterfalls in Norway, and the day is spent hiking and exploring the fairytale-like landscape. In the evening, we are picked up and transported back to our last night at Filefjellstuene.

The first part of the day you will be driving on one of Norway's national Scenic Routes.Our hiking goal for the day is the mountain Prest (1478 meters above sea level). Some parts of the trail might feel exposed, but we guarantee that the experience on the top is worth it. From here you will have a perfect view of the large fjord landscape. Our accommodation for the night is Vangsgaarden, a restored farm from the 1750’s.

Though it is our last day of this week-long adventure tour, we will enjoy breakfast together before we depart. A short ride from our hotel is the famous Flåmsbanen; many people consider the old ride the most beautiful journey in the whole world. You can choose to end your adventure in both Bergen and Oslo, as the train is very well connected to both destinations. It is also possible to take the ferry to Bergen from Flåm or Aurland (right outside our accommodation). Otherwise, you can also choose to spend some more days by the Norwegian Fjords.
