Explore the Hidden Norwegian Fjords

The trip is finally underway! We meet at the Grand Hotel Bellevue in the afternoon for check-in. If you arrive earlier, you can check in on your own and spend the day (for example) going for a short hike up to the Rampstreken. After checking in, we go through the week ahead of us before a tasty 3-course dinner in the hotel's restaurant awaits in the evening.

After a good breakfast, we check out from our accommodation before we drive up the spectacular Trollstigen - here you just have to have your camera ready! At the top of the Trollstigen, the tour starts towards the top of the Trollveggen. The terrain is hilly with a rocky path that takes us up the mountain valley. This is a moderately challenging hike, and the last part up to the top of Trollveggen consists of rock, so you must be comfortable walking on such terrain. After we have reached the top, we go back again and drive towards Valldal, our home for the next two nights. In the evening, a tasty dinner awaits you in the hotel's restaurant.

After breakfast we go straight out of the hotel and to our kayaks. We spend the next few hours on the beautiful Norddalsfjord, which is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Along the way on today's trip, we look for the perfect lunch spot, and pull our kayaks ashore to enjoy our food. After lunch we paddle back to Valldal. The afternoon is free at your disposal, but our guide never frowns on a little extra exercise, so if any of you want to explore more of the area, we will of course make this happen. In the evening we will be served another tasty dinner at the hotel's restaurant.

Today we will explore the Geiranger Fjord, which is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We eat breakfast and jump in the car for the drive here. On arrival, we spend a few hours exploring the town center before heading to a beautiful waterfall after lunch. The hike is steep, and even though it's only 1.5 kilometers to the waterfall, we take our time and enjoy the view along the way. Fortunately, Sherpas have built steps all the way to the top of the waterfall. After the hike, we travel on to Hellesylt by ferry before driving to our next accommodation, the lovely Hotel Union Øye. This ancient hotel has a long history and has been a favorite spot for royalty, writers, climbers and nature lovers for generations. After check-in you will enjoy a lovely 3-course dinner in the evening.

We enjoy a good breakfast at Hotel Union Øye. Fresh and fast, we drive to the foot of Slogen (1564 m). This mountain is often mentioned as a favorite among visitors to the Hjørundfjord. We start walking towards the DNT hut, the Patchell hut and if the weather is nice and we are not too tired, we will climb to the top of Slogen already today. With its pyramid-shaped peak, the mountain is an amazing sight, and there are fantastic views at the top. The trip from Patchellhytta to the top and back again takes approximately 3-4 hours depending on the weather conditions. In the evening we cook a simple dinner together at the night's accommodation.

We prepare a simple breakfast at Patchellhytta, and if yesterday's weather did not allow us to climb Slogen, we give it another try today. If we have already climbed the top, we go back down to the car for the drive/boat trip to Trandal. This isolated but very cozy place has a special swing where you can swing from a tree directly over the water. In the evening we rest our tired legs and have dinner together at the accommodation.

We eat our breakfast with a view out over the fjord. After several trips with the swing, we take the boat back to the other side before driving to Ålesund. On arrival in Ålesund, we set off on a short hike to find the best view of the city. The afternoon is free before we meet for a closing dinner in the evening.

Unfortunately the trip has today come to an end. We eat breakfast and check out from the accommodation. Take yourself to Ålesund Airport for the return journey. We hope that the trip to Romsdalen and Sunnmøre has given you memories for a lifetime and dreams of new visits in the future!
