  • Nordvestpassasjen (The North-West Passage)


    Path VE06

    Far over the misty mountains cold.
    To valleys deep and rivers old …

    This is a nomadic path crossing the border between two distinct Norwegian biomes. It aspires to give its participants a taste of both the highland/inland plateaus and the jagged, mountainous north-western fjords. Moving campsite day by day, we travel both by foot and by paddle on still or flowing water.
    The changing landscape gives us the opportunity to discuss the fragile nature that surrounds us, the changing values of society and the dilemmas of our time.
    If you’re interested in a rewarding, physical path based on traditional Norwegian hiking, environmentalist themes, a peak into Norwegian culture and drop-dead-gorgeous views, then this might just be the path for you.

    Average physical condition, well-trodden shoes and high spirits are advantageous. Please pack modestly for ease of transport, but be prepared for cold (freezing) and moisture, day, and night.

    Path VE05

    This path is a physically challenging adventure that takes you through some of the most spectacular nature Norway has to offer. The path goes from the mighty Troll Wall at the heart of Romsdal, down along the river Rauma on canoe until we reach the fjord. From there the path goes up into the mountains. The Romsdal mountain ridge is one of the most famous hikes in the country, and you get to experience it in its prime season. Along the whole path you get to learn about Norwegian cultural history and also get a taste of a more urban environment.

  • Exploring Bergen


    Path VE04

    Would you like to visit Bergen? Bergen is of one of Norway’s most visited cities and the nature surrounding is absolutely beautiful.
    Activities on this path will include city exploring, hiking in the mountains, and having fun getting to know other cultures. The difficulty will be categorized as moderate, as there will be some elevation. On some of the hikes you will be expected to carry all of your own belongings as we will change location throughout the path.

    We are sleeping in tents and your group must therefore bring your own tent which you also have to be able to carry from camp to camp.
    We are looking forward to see you!

  • Hiking Jotunheimen


    Path IN03

    Welcome to the beautiful national park Jotunheimen. On this Path we are going to be in the Norwegian mountains. Firstly we are going to take a boat to the first location. The following days we are going to climb mountain tops and walk across a spectacular mountain ridge with steep walls on both sides and a fantastical view. We will be sleeping in tents and walk 25 kilometers over two days in challenging terrain over Bukkelægret and Besseggen.

    You have to bring a tent yourself, and we will recommend tents that fit 3-6 people. But we are going to sleep nearby cottages, so that we can use the hygiene facilities there. Food will be prepared in patrols outdoors on storm-kitchens.
