Weekend fjord walks


Our Weekend Fjord Walks will mainly take place in the World Heritage site of Nærøyfjorden. This is right in the middle of the most stunning and spectacular fjord scenery that Norway has to offer. Up to 1600 meter high snowcapped mountains plunges more or less vertically down into the green fjords far below.

The rapidly changing seasons of spring and summer in the western parts of Norway, has inspired us to develop three different Weekend Fjord Walks, all with different focus. Culture and nature walks hand in hand in this area, and you will get to see how the farmers managed to make a living in the magnificent, but brutal and unforgiving surroundings.

National Geographic has twice recognized this area as the best managed and maintained tourist destination in the world.

Spring

In The Break Of Spring

Weekend Fjord Walk - A perfect adventure in the spring

The spring explosion in the fjords of Noway  is something quite special. In May the hillsides are waking up from the winter but the snow covered mountains still give the landscape a white crown. When the fields are turning green and make a big contrast to the snow covered  mountains, Western Norway is at its most spectacular.

Our first Weekend Fjord Walk dedicates a weekend to hiking and experiencing the summer breaking through in the Fjord Landscape.

Late summer

Heritage & Panorama

 

Imagine a weekend dedicated to the most spectacular panoramas in the Norwegian Fjords. This Weekend Fjord Walk will mainly take place in the World Heritage site of Nærøyfjorden. National Geographic has twice recognized this area as the best managed and maintained tourist destination in the world.

Magnificent viewpoints are waiting for you everywhere. But we need to hike to get there and we need the mountains to be free from snow. Therefore, August is the perfect time to do a trip like this. We will pick you up at Bergen airport Flesland and bring you to Stalheim Hotel, our base for the weekend. The stunning and world famous view from the balcony of the hotel, has been painted by several well known artists particularly in the last part of the 18th century.
