Walking holidays in Norway offer a tremendous range of scenery and terrain, suitable for walkers of varying levels of experience. The size of Norway with its 2,518 km in length can pose some interesting logistical challenges but does mean that single centre walking holidays are worth pursuing and with several National Parks bursting with mountains, moorland, fjords and forests, there plenty of walking available from a single base. Summer and winter walking experiences are possible, in the Arctic Circle, in the National Parks, on fjords and on islands off the coast. All the great fjords have outstanding walks from any number of points: Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord, Lysefjorden, Hardangerfjord and Eidfjord. The National Parks of Rondane, Jotunheimen and Dovrefjell all offer walks at various altitudes and over varying terrain. To the north there are the picturesque Lofoten Islands and Tromso, in a landscape of tundra and in winter months darkness, snow and ice.

Norway travel information
You’ll probably arrive at Oslo or Bergen airports if flying from the UK. It is also possible to travel by train from the UK to Norway, arriving from Denmark or Sweden. Within Norway we suggest a mixture of travel methods: rail, boat and hire-car, or a mixture of all three.By rail
Due to the terrain and the distances involved, some of the train journeys can be long. For example, Oslo to Bodø takes 19 hours by train, and Oslo to Bergen takes 7.5 hours. One of the most spectacular rail journeys is from Flåm to Myrdal taking 2 hours for example. Narvik to Kiruna in Sweden on the Polar Express is also a scenic route.By boat
The Hurtigruten line is one of the most famous and covers the coastal distance from Bergen to Kirkenes (over 2,500 kms) with 34 stops. Bergen to Kirkenes takes seven days and you can choose from a variety of cabins on board. We recommend that you do part of the journey by boat, perhaps Bergen to Trondheim, which takes 3 days, or Bodø to Svolvaer in the Lofoten Islands which can be done within one day. You can time your voyage to do parts of it by day and parts overnight. There are also ferries along the fjords, for example from Bergen to Flåm along the Sognefjord, which takes about five hours.By hire-car
To explore within an area or to cover parts of the country, it’s recommended to have the use of a hire-car. Roads in Norway are good, and you will need to board ferries for many routes. In fact, over 100 public roadways require cars to board a ferry. You don’t book ahead for these but you need to allow for extra time but this is part of the charm of driving yourself around Norway.Our walking holidays offer
