Experience the diversity of the Norwegian nature when travelling from high mountains to deep fjords. Overnight in mountain- and fjord villages, go hiking and enjoy a 2-hour cruise on the Sognefjord.

The selected tour can commence in Oslo.

Day 01: Arrival in Oslo, the capital on Norway

Arrival in Oslo according to your own itinerary. The Norwegian capital is beautifully situated at the head of the Oslo Fjord and surrounded by forested ridges. Oslo offers many well know sights such as the Vigeland Sculpture Park, the Viking Ship Museum, the Munch Museum and Oslo Opera House. Accommodation in Oslo.

Day 02: Oslo - Beitostølen (210 km)

Breakfast at the hotel. Drive from Oslo via Hønefoss towards Fagernes. Possibility for a detour to visit Heddal Stave Church, Norway’s largest surviving stave church. Continue to the mountain village of Beitostølen, in view of the impressive Jotunheimen Mountain Range with Galdhøpiggen as Norway’s highest mountain (2469 metres). Accommodation in Beitostølen.

Day 03: Beitostølen / Excellent hiking possibilities

Breakfast at the hotel. This day is at your own leisure. The hiking possibilities in the Valdres area, to which Beitostølen belongs, are excellent. We recommend a hike to Besseggen ridge, one of Norway’s most popular hikes. The famous Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen wrote of Besseggen: “It cuts along with an edge like a scythe for miles and miles…And scars and glaciers sheer down the precipice to the glassy lakes, 1600 feet below on either side.” Drive from Beitostølen to Gjendesheim, and continue by ferry to Memurubu, from where your hike to Besseggen will start. From Besseggen there is a great view over Gjende- and Bessvatnet Lake. One of the unique aspects of the view is that Gjende lies almost 400 m lower than Bessvatnet, and while Bessvatnet has a blue color typical of other lakes, Gjende has a distinct green color, the result of glacier runoff containing clay. The hike takes 6-8 hours, and requires an average level of fitness. Accommodation in Beitostølen.

Day 04: Beitostølen - Fjord Cruise - Sogndal (195 km)

Breakfast at the hotel. Departure from Beitostølen in direction of road E16, using a small countryside road. When reaching E16 continue to Borgund where we recommend a stop to visit Borgund Stave Church, one of the best preserved stave churches. If departing from Beitostølen early in the morning you will have the opportunity to make a stop in Flåm to experience the Flåm Railway (11:00-13:05 hrs. Please see add-ons for further details and price). Continue to Gudvangen for a two hour cruise to Kaupanger, bringing both the car and passengers across the impressive Sognefjord. Short drive to Sogndal, beautifully located by the fjord. Accommodation in Sogndal.

Day 05: Sogndal / Possibility to visit the Jostedal Glacier

Breakfast at the hotel. This day is at your own leisure. We recommend a visit to Sogn Folk Museum, an open air museum where you can discover how the people of the Sogn region have lived and worked from the middle ages and up to the present time. Close to Sogndal you will also find Urnes Stave Chrurch, one of Norway’s oldest stave churches. Also recommendable is an excursion to Jostedal and the Breheimsenteret – the visitor centre of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Breheimsenteret is the perfect starting point for many adventurous activities, like glacier hikes, kayaking, rafting, canoeing and horseback riding. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking on your own in the National Park mountains and valleys. Accommodation in Sogndal.

Here we recommend a visit at Hopperstad Stave Church from year 1150. Continue across the Vik Mountain to Voss before reaching the Hardangerfjord, famous for its fruit orchards. A short ferry crossing from Bruravik to Brimnes will bring you to Eidfjord where we recommend a visit at the Hardangervidda Nature Centre.
