Norway Fjord Trekking
Experience Overview
The Vikings were some of the toughest people to ever walk this earth, and looking at the land that spawned them, it’s not hard to see why.

This trip will put you on intimate terms with the great green hills, monstrous peaks, enormous glaciers, and flat-out gorgeous scenery of this isolated chunk of Scandinavia. Lace up your hiking boots and set forth in search of your own personal Valhalla.

Itinerary
Day 1: Bergen
Arrive at any time. Meet your group for a welcome meeting before heading out for an orientation walk of Bergen.
Day 2: Bergen/Odda
Enjoy breakfast in the beautiful city of Bergen. Transfer by ferry and private vehicle along the Hardangerfjord to Odda, the base in the heart of the fjords. Enjoy an introductory hike.
Day 3: Odda
Known as the Valley of the Waterfalls, Oddadalen is a spectacular wooded ravine adorned with numerous beautiful waterfalls. Stretch your legs on a 10km (6.2 mi) hike along the Buerdalen valley. Today's hike will get your blood pumping with various terrains and technical challenges, helping you prepare for our full day Trolltunga excursion on Day 6.
Day 4: Odda/Folgefonna Glacier/Odda
Join an expert local guide for a hike across the frozen landscape of the Folgefonna Glacier. Strap on crampons, head out on the ice and take in spectacular views of the glacier.
Day 5: Odda
Enjoy free time today to relax in the beauty of the surrounding fjords, or opt to partake in any of the many activities this area has to offer.
Set in the breathtaking location of the Atlantic fjordlands, Odda is an ideal place to take a day off from hiking. For those looking to recharge today, opt to wander the quaint town that lines the coast with its multi-coloured residences or take a rib boat ride on the fjords. For those who are itching to get back out into the wild, take in the views from a bike or kayak, or consider preparing for your Trolltunga Hike by booking the Via Ferrata Sunset/Sunrise Extension for an enchanting night in the Sunrise Dome perched high above Lake Ringedalsvatnet.
Day 6: Odda/Trolltunga/Odda
Gear up for the highlight of the week – a challenging full-day journey up to the most famous rock formation in Norway. Trolltunga (the "Troll's Tongue") grants breathtaking views from 700m (2,296 ft) above the Ringedalsvatnet lake.
Day 7: Odda/Bergen
Leaving Odda behind, take a bus to Bergen. Trip ends on arrival in Bergen.

My experience with the guide and ease to get around to see sights that are otherwise difficult without a car was a bonus. Gave me the opportunity to travel with new people I wouldn't have otherwise met.

On both of my G Adventures trips if had great experiences, it's nice to travel with a guide you really knows the area and can show you things you may not find on your own at a good price!

Rebecca C. - Traveled, September 2023
This was a well planned and organized trip full of activities that were both classic and off the beaten path. Hiking in a group in this kind of terrain and in the shoulder season weather is much more enjoyable than doing it solo!

I had the time of my life on my trip to Norway. I had the utmost faith in our CEO, Vadim, and he took great care of us. It was amazing having every single thing pre-arranged and taken care of on our behalf. It made the trip stress-free, simple, and allowed us to relax.
