Tour overview

This 7-day active trip mixes hiking, cycling and kayaking in the fjords of western Norway, in a very small group of up to four. Local guides lead each activity, and you stay a night in Bergen and five nights in simple cabins with shared facilities, with breakfast on the first morning and lunch on the kayak day.

From Bergen you travel to Loen at the head of Nordfjord, riding the Loen Skylift and hiking with a guide, then cycling round the turquoise glacial lake of Lovatnet. A guided hike follows the Briksdal Glacier Trail in Jostedalsbreen National Park.

You board the famous Flåm Railway up to Myrdal and cycle back down the valley to Flåm, then spend a full day kayaking the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord from Gudvangen before returning to Bergen.

The physical rating is medium. This trip suits fit, active travellers who want to explore the fjords under their own steam.
