Norway Expedition

Welcome to Norway! The group meets in Bergen Airport & we venture to Gudvangen where the 6-day expedition officially begins. After a briefing with our International Mountain Guide & chance to drop our bags in guest lodges at the fjords edge, you have the option of a beautiful guided 8km trail run along the Nærøydalselvi river. Afterwards we freshen up, arrange kit for the expedition & head for a delicious meal at a local restaurant. 

The Team varies in age, each guest has a good base level of fitness & a passion for the outdoors! A team effort throughout. 

After a tasty breakfast we set off for our first big day in the hills. We hike from Gudvangen to Bakka, as the trail head starts from fjord level & heads up the mountain towards the stunning viewpoint of Rimstigen, 725m above the fjord.

Don't worry, we move at a social pace! with frequent stops for water & snacks to stay fuelled. From Rimstigen, the trail cuts back into a shallow glacial valley before we begin our ascent to a ridge overlooking the fjord - aiming for the spectacular summit of Breiskskreinosi.

An epic first day, we reach our Mountain Hut & share a wholesome meal. The simplicity of cooking, sharing a glass of wine (or soft drink!) after a rewarding first day is enjoyed by all. 

Norway has a diverse & wild natural landscape.

With snow glistening beneath our feet & strong camaraderie amongst the Team we embark on a short hike. We reach our support crew & switch into our trail shoes & begin our 10k run through the forest towards the village of Fresvik! 

With magnificent views across the main Sognefjord and to its Northern shores. On arrival we swim in the fjord, relax in hot tubs & eat a hearty dinner in our luxury eco lodge. Enjoy some downtime & move at a slower pace.

Wake up, stretch & enjoy a rejuvenating yoga class before a light breakfast.
Today we transition into the kayaking part of our adventure through the dramatic fjords. You'll learn about paddle technique, equipment & general safety on the water. 

Are you new to kayaking? Good news our kayak section is suitable for beginners, you also have the option of going in a tandem kayak (2 person) & the current is slow moving - need not worry about rapids!

Fresvik fades into the distance & we enter the Northern end of the Aurlandsfjord. Keep a lookout for wildlife including friendly seals and rare Sea Eagles that inhabit the region.

On arrival we setup camp, share a delicious bbq & raise a glass as the sun sets!
