The expert's opinion

This tour can be done at your own pace, the aim being to enjoy the magnificent Norwegian landscapes. The Trolltunga hike, however, is more demanding and requires a full day (20km, 10 hours); you will be guided for this one.

From the top, you'll enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the entire region. There are also several hiking trails (easy and accessible to all).


    A haven for sports enthusiasts, many providers offer mountain biking excursions, kayak rentals, rafting trips and many other thrilling activities! You can start with a walk (on foot or by bike) around Lake Vangsvatnet.


    Your second day begins in Voss before you embark on a kayaking adventure on the Nærøyfjord, the most spectacular arm of the Sognefjord. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll set off with an experienced English-speaking guide for a day exploring the magnificent landscapes of the fjord.
