Norway Walking Holiday

Norway Walking Tours

This magnificent fjord country is a sight to behold, and there is no better way to explore it than on a Norway hiking tour. On our guided group tours, we avoid the throngs of tourists at common vantage points and instead head for the tranquillity of the upper ground. Here, modern life will seem a world away as you take in the vistas of steep hillsides and rushing waterfalls that form the crystal-clear waters of the fjords.

Set off on foot to discover nature’s untamed landscapes where deep gorges plummet from mountain plateaux and lush valleys are carpeted in wildflowers. Everywhere you look as you’re walking in Norway, there’s an idyllic scene vying for your attention.

Our in-depth itineraries on Norway trips are also designed to take you closer to historic sites that are tucked away on the road less travelled, giving you an insight into the country’s rich past. And you’ll also be immersed in the culture and traditions that make each destination so unique. See how the locals live on a trip to a Norwegian summer farm, explore ancient stave churches and journey along the lesser-known Pilgrim’s Road.

As well as its gorgeous scenery, Norway is renowned for its native wildlife, and you’ll have the chance to spot wild reindeer and moose during guided mountain walks. Rondane National Park is another great place to encounter Norwegian wildlife such as bears, lynx, roe deer, wolves, reindeer and moose. Established in 1962, Rondane was Norway’s first national park and its evocative landscape has inspired writers and artists for centuries.

Top Four Routes on a Norway Walking Holiday

Rondane National Park: Home to some of the most jaw-dropping scenery in Norway, Rondane National Park is a place where you can escape from the hustle and bustle and get back to nature. The park is made up of lichen and heather-strewn plateaus and remote waters that lie beneath the gaze of soaring peaks and the famous ethereal blue glow. Originally the park was created to protect reindeer, but you’ll also come across other wild animals and a wealth of birdlife on your travels. On our Venabu walking tour, you’ll hike to the summit of Store Ramshogda and explore the towering peaks of the Rondane massif, where you’ll witness the most awesome mountain views.

The Pilgrim’s Road: Laying claim to being the world’s most northerly pilgrimage route, the Pilgrim’s Road is a lesser-known route that often goes unrecognised. Following in the footsteps of St Olav, the trail takes you to Nidaros in Trondheim and it has a strong appeal for anyone wanting to go off the radar and enjoy total serenity. The sparsely inhabited landscapes of Jämtland, punctuated mostly by lakes and rivers, are popular stomping grounds for the local wildlife. Our guided walk steers you above the valley of Gudbrandsdalen and up to the ancient hillfort, where terrific views await and you can learn about the history of St Olav. We complete the walk with a trip to the iconic Ringebu Stave Church, which was originally built in the 13^th century and is one of the last remaining churches of its kind in Norway.

Finnsjøvola: Framed by the majestic Rondane mountains, the lakes of Finnsjøvola offer a scenic walk along their shores. Atnasjøen Lake is arguably the most picturesque with its gin-clear waters and dramatic backdrop. Measuring five square kilometres, Atnasjøen lies between Sto-Elvdal and Sor-Fron and is a fabulous viewpoint for soaking up the mountain views. When the air is calm, the reflections of the mountains on its glossy surface are utterly mesmerising and make a stunning subject for budding photographers.

Dynjefjellet: This dramatic peak may often get overlooked but a hike up to its summit rewards you with 360° views that reach out across the Rondane mountains, Venabygdsfjellet and the distant glacial peaks of Jotunheimen. Early autumn is a great time to enjoy this walk as the landscape is ablaze with fiery reds and oranges. It’s also a great time to sample the lush blueberries, cranberries and cloudberries along the way. There’s a good chance when walking in Norway up to Dynjefjellett you’ll spot wild reindeer which have roamed the land since the last Ice Age.

This trip is the perfect balance of a short break that feels like you have been away for a month, in a good way. You are completely at one with nature and in the wild, the days are demanding and you are often leaving at 0730 each day and not getting back until around 1630/1700. You have a long time on your feet with big ascents and descents, all whilst surrounded by incredible mountains. I went the first week of September and we had a mixture of weather, which really gave us the full hiking experience, instead of being upset that it was raining with zero visibility, you were happy to be out in the elemensta and conquering cols. You will have switchbacks for breakfast and sore legs for dinner, however, if you are up for a challenge and enjoy the outdoors, good food and comradery then this trip is absolutely for you! 1 peiece of advise, pack light, and then if you think you have packed light enough, pack even lighter than that!
