The most beautiful tours in Norway
The best of tourism in Norway
Norway is a very mountainous country and offers incredible opportunities for tourists. Due to the harsh weather, the local tours are usually one of the most difficult and you have to be prepared and equipped.

The most beautiful mountain on the island of Senja
Mount ** Segla ** belongs together with the jagged ridge „Okshornan“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/…k-okshornan/] to the most iconic places on the island „Senja“: [https://www.gigaplaces.com/ oblast-senja /] and without exaggeration it can be said that even the best in the whole of Norway. As this mountain is not as well known as other Norwegian attractions (** Preikestolen **, ** Trolltunga **), you will not meet too many tourists here. continue reading
Ascent to Mannen
Around mountain lakes and snow fields
It is possible to undertake several interesting hikes to the surrounding peaks, to the glacier or mountain lakes around The Trolls' Path (Trollstigen). Difficulty of these „hikes“ is different and is indicated at the starting points on a directive in blue, red or black. In general, however, also „blue“ hikes have mostly narrow paths and rocky terrain. The indicated times are really only for very experienced hikers (and Norwegians). The ascent to the outlook peak Mannen (1 294 m asl) is not difficult, but in its last part before the summit you must overcome several rock and scree fields with confident walk and good orientation. The terrain in the valley Alnesdalen is often wet with small wetlands and even in July there may still be snowfields in the higher parts. The reward for the effort will be a bird's eye view of the valley Romsdalen and the surrounding mountains. continue reading
Hike to Kjeragbolten
The most famous stone
Kjeragbolten is located in the Lysefjord area, which is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Norway, located several tens of kilometers east of Stavanger. Kjeragbolten in the translation of the Kjerag wedge is an interesting geomorphological toy of nature under the top of the Kjerag hill. It is a several-ton round boulder, which is stuck in a gap between two cliffs. The starting point for hiking is the Øygardstølen car park at an altitude of 640 m above sea level. The hiking itself takes about 5 hours and is very well marked, passing over the top of Nesatindane. The very beginning of the tour is pretty much out of sight, when it is necessary to overcome the first ascent of about 165 meters. Chains are set up to help in the rock, and in case of rain or icing it is the most unpleasant part of the hike, then the last one is to descend into a small valley and climb the smooth rock steeply up to the top plateau, followed by relatively flat terrain. The boulder is wedged above an abyss 980 meters deep and below it flows the 25th highest waterfall in the world Kjeragfossen. continue reading
Hike to Blavatnet lake
Walk to the lake
From the valley Stardalen in National Park Jostedalsbreen lead many interesting paths to glaciers and lakes. This ascent to the lake Blavatnet begins very comfortably by car – by ascending along the toll road south to a place called Befringstoylen (toll 50, – NOK). The continuation is relatively easy without any difficult ascent through low birch forest up to the lake, which is at an altitude of 781 meters asl. It is difficult to get around the lake, because it is surrounded by wetlands. It is an easy walk that will bring the views of typical Norwegian countryside, in addition, with only few tourists. And because the summer days are long, it is possible to walk in the afternoon into the very eastern end of valley Stardalen that is formed by narrow valley of Langedalselva. continue reading
Hike to glacier Haugabreen
Face of the glacier to the touch
Jostedalsbreen nasionalpark offers many possibilities for hiking of any difficulty. There are also many opportunities to camp, although very nice place with spectacular view is the camp in a place that is called Hoyset and lies in the valley Stardalen. When traveling from the north along the road E39 turn left at the settlement Klakegg and continue for about 12 kilometers. Nice and not very difficult is the walk to the face of glacier Haugabreen. From the camp rises gravel paved and narrow road (toll 50, – NOK) to the parking lot Haug Stoylen. From here leads a narrow path first on flat-bottomed glacial valley and later in steeper ascent with overcoming glacial streams. It seems that there are not many tourists even in the high season, which makes the local glacial countryside even more impressive. continue reading
Hike to the Nigardsbreen Glacier
To the largest mainland glacier in Europe
The Nigardsbreen glacier slide is part of the largest continental glacier in Europe, the Jostedalsbreen. The hike from the parking lot to the glacier is very low and takes about 2 hours, even with frequent breaks for photography. continue reading
Trek through Rondane National Park
An unforgettable crossing of Rondane
Rondane National Park is located about 100 km north of Lillehamer. I used the train and bus transport links. Although Norway is a large country, the transport connection here works as a number one. The relief of the park is formed by mountains exceeding 2000 m and since it is mostly at an altitude of over 1000 m of vegetation up to the valley consists of lichens and shrubs, with plenty of blueberries and cranberries. continue reading
Hike to lake Bondhusvatnet
Lake below the glacier Folgefonna
From the town of Odda, lying at the end of Sorfjorden leads 11 km long tunnel, through which we get on the road no.551 into town Bondhus. It is difficult to camp in the nature on the coast of fjords bad, but local camp is also very pleasant. An easy walk leads from the campsite through the valley Bondhusdalen along wild glacial river to the lake Bondhusvatnet (189 m asl). Along the western shore of lake leads a narrow trail, surpassing over narrow bridges several fierce streams. It is possible to climb along the path almost to the edge of glacier tongues of Bondhusbrea from the southern end of the lake. The lake was previously used to transport blocks of ice that once had been mined here when the glacial tongue fell directly to the surface of the lake. continue reading
Walks by Bygdin lake
On the south of national park Jotunheime
Starting point fort Bygdin is Fagernes. You can see here snow covered peaks of the southern part of Jotunheimen National Park. Bygdin consists of one hotel and a few other houses serving for accommodation and is located between two large elongated lakes Bygdin and Vinstre. It is possible to undertake a series of interesting hikes in the surroundings, not only along the shores of mentioned lakes, but also ascent to one of the surrounding peaks. continue reading
Hike to lake Myrdalsvatnet
Above fjords to the mountain lake
From the town Bondhus continues the road no.551 into town Rosendal, which lies on the banks of Kvinnheradsfjorden. From here leads the asphalt road, on which, however, only locals can drive in and under permission to Lake Myrdalsvatnet (374 m asl). In addition to the initial half kilometer long rise from the town leads the rest of the way in comfortable slight ascent in a wide valley, surrounded by steep hills and northern forest covered with lichens. continue reading
