Norway Fjord Country Self-Guided Hiking Tour: Breathtaking fjord panoramas, stunning mountain peaks, and glaciers within easy reach – this is what awaits you in Norway’s wild west. In a truly unique landscape shaped by the last Ice Age, you will experience a wild and romantic region nestled between the snow-capped peaks and the mile-long fjords – the place that makes every hiker’s heart skip a beat. The spectacular mountains surround the king of fjords – Sognefjorden – one of Norway’s most popular hiking areas. With the colors of blue, green, and turquoise, the fjords give a spectacular dimension to the hikes. Thundering waterfalls cascade down from snow-covered mountains, with fields of wildflowers coloring the landscape. Starting in Bergen with its famous UNESCO site of Bryggen, you will experience all of Sognefjorden from west to east, getting the bird’s eye view of its arms when reaching the peaks. Majestic landscapes along with charming, historic hotels and the best of local food, make this trip the best way to visit Norway’s fjord country.
Pro-tip: Book early! The historical, boutique hotels in this beautiful region of Norway book up many months in advance. We recommend booking 5-6+ months before your desired travel date.
The tour starts in Bergen and finishes in Sogndal, where we can arrange a boat back to Bergen for you. We recommend flying in and out of Bergen. You can also fly into Oslo and make your way to Bergen by train.

The Norway trip was fabulous! A few highlights/shoutouts:
1) Your local representative was an absolute joy to work with. She was so kind, helpful, accommodating, and gracious. She was knowledgeable, communicative, timely and just a delight to chat with as we journeyed about. Truly above and beyond the call and we are so so grateful to her. We felt so taken care of and she made everything on the trip feel smooth and easy.
2) The accommodations at Kvikness and Wallaker were so beautiful and a real highlight of the whole trip. As we had been told by our Pure Adventures expert, the food at Walaker was unreal, and the dinners there were possibly the best of our entire month of travel (in which we did several nights at Michelin/fine dining places).
3) Raudmelen was our favorite hike, but all were truly lovely (even though we had some very rough weather at the top of Molden).
4) The cider tasting and lunch in Balestrand was so fun, informative, and so Tasty!
Thank you so much for helping us have such an amazing, well organized, beautiful adventure for our honeymoon.
We had an AMAZING time on our Norway Hiking tour, and the trip definitely met or exceeded our expectations. We wondered (at the outset) if we could have found enough information to plan a trip this good ourselves, and came to the conclusion that we simply couldn’t. There’s just too much insider information that you can’t get from here, about hidden gems over there. And your local point person was a fantastic, flexible, accommodating. We had good luck with amazing weather, as a bonus. Highlights: Bergen hike at top of Floyen; Cider tasting and lunch; hike in Balestrand to top of fjord; both Walaker and Kviknes hotels (and meals); stave church visit. In Bergen, we would have preferred a hotel that was not so close to the shops and restaurants, but that is our preference. Overall, we had a great trip!
