Hello, are you planning your 2019 travels? If you are looking for something authentic, breathtaking and different, we have some solutions for you below.
With its breathtaking combination of fjords and mountains, Norway is undoubtedly a hiker’s heaven. However, the sheer number of people that head to the well-trodden areas of the country every year can certainly lessen the magic of the experience. So how about you head the other way, to the more secluded Western fjords?
Our new 9-day (partly self-guided) tourstarts from Bergen and finishes in Ålesund. In between, hikers and their guides get to traverse the following natural wonders:
Mount Ulriken and Mount Fløyen in Bergen (a 6-hour hike with breaks),
Hornelen – the highest sea cliff in Europe – in Bremanger (an 8-hour hike with lunch), and
Mt. Hoven in Loen (a 5-6-hour hike with breaks and lunch).
In addition, the tour includes catching ferries with the locals and seeing this unique, magnificent area of Fjord Norway in the comfort of a private 50 Degrees North minivan. As a cherry on top, the tour also includes a Wildlife Sea Safari in a high-speed RIB-boat once in Ålesund. Departs every Thursday from Bergen in high summer season. BOOK NOW
