Fjords Tours
The Norwegian fjords are some of Mother Nature’s finest work: towering cliffs blanketed in vegetation that plunge towards crystalline fjordic waters. Explore the areas less visited by tourists on a Norwegian fjords walking holiday, enjoying the peace and tranquillity needed to fully enjoy the majesty of the landscape.
When you’re not hiking the trails, take the Flåm railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, before hopping on a ferry to travel through the dramatic sheer cliffs of Naerøyfjord (Narrow Fjord). There’s also time to visit the award-winning Norwegian Glacier Museum to unlock the secrets of this unforgettable wonder of nature.

Beth Hepburn Walking the FjordsAs a first time hiker I was worried about what to expect from this trip but I shouldn’t have been. Spent a truly amazing week hiking varied and incredibly beautiful landscapes, interspersed with some breathtaking ferry trips. The pace was manageable (although I did start with a good base fitness) and there were often options to shorten or lengthen walks depending on capability but this was always optional. Nes Gard itself is a truly special place and perfect for an escape from real life. Waking up to the view of fjord everyday was such a contrast to living in the UK. The staff at Nes Gard are lovely and evenings were spent eating fab local food and then drinking and catching up in the bar with new found friends. This is the perfect holiday if you want a break from reality, a chance to unwind and to see some truly beautiful scenery as well as the chance to make some amazing friends.
Lucy & Han Wiggins & Bui-Van Walking the FjordsNes Gard Farm, what “a little gem” of a place to stay for the week. The team, food and wine pairing option was truly amazing at this special place which was also surrounded by incredible scenery. The evening hike briefings for the following day took place either in the charming wine cellar or wonderfully converted old cattle shed with a drink or two to start the evening off before our delicious three course meal was served up each evening including locally sourced ingredients where possible and the option for wine pairing with each course. Being September we were particularly lucky with the sunny warm blue skied weather with no rainfall all week. Each day we set off on a very different hike led by our fantastic guide Anders. No one day was the same and the scenery truly breathtaking. We got an wonderful appreciation for all Norway has to offer in terms of views and what an incredible first visit to this beautiful country we had and we we would love to come back to the country in the future.
