Norway Challenge

You will start your epic adventure in Bergen where you will meet the rest of your team and transfer to Gudvangen for overnight in a wooden cabin.

Overnight - Cabin

In the morning you will be given a tour introduction by your guide whilst enjoying breakfast by the lake.

We will then head out for a challenging 16-18 km hike with elevation gain of up to 1200 meters. Unneeded items can be transported up to the mountain cabin (but will need to be carried on day 2). Please note that for our departures in June to Mid-July there may still be snow in the upper part of the hike.

Overnight stay in a mountain cabin.

After breakfast at the cabin, we get back on the trail mid morning and continue up into the highlands surrounding the Nærøyfjord.

It’s another challenging 11-16 km long hike depending on trail selection with elevation gain of around 500 meters. The trail is sometimes stony, and we may need to cross streams.

We arrive at our tree camp late afternoon/early evening.

Overnight stay in Tentsile tents suspended from trees.

After a lie-in and breakfast at the tree camp, we have a 9-10 km hike with around 800 meters elevation drop, with a steep descend in the last hour.

In the evening we'll be camping by the Fjord with the option for a swim and evening stroll around the picturesque village of Fresvik. T

here will be access to power this evening for recharging batteries.

Overnight Camping.

After breakfast at Fresvik, we pack our kayaks and have a technical and safety briefing before we launch.

Our Kayak journey today covers around 22 km and takes us through 3 fjords: the main Sognefjord, The Aurlandsfjord and finally into the Nærøyfjord.

There is a lunch stop enroute.

Overnight: Fjordside camping.

This morning we will have breakfast at camp before breaking this down as a team and packing our kayaks again.

We get on the water mid-morning and venture into the innermost part of the Nærøyfjord, with towering mountains on both sides.

Our paddle is 12-13 kilometers with 1 or 2 stops en-route to our final destination in Gudvangen where we expect to arrive mid-afternoon.

Once there, there’s time to relax and repack your things before you celebrate the end of your epic adventure and transfer back to the airport.
