🇳🇴Hiking tip: in early spring it is great hiking at the coast because there is less snow there. For a great hike with spectacular sea cliff views: try Stadlandet. The Atlantic ocean, mountains and fjords as far as your eyes can see (on a sunny day).

Start at the Parking lot at Dragseidet and follow the trail with the red signs ‘Stadlandet rett Vest’.

Be prepared for several ups and downs since you go in hilly terrain and behind every hill….is a new one. You can always turn around and walk the same trail back.

For the die hards: Try to walk all the way until you see the surfers and the gorgeous white beach of Hoddevik.

There are not many rivers during the hike so bring enough. For the terrain: check out the reel.

Ps. We did the hike one way from Ervik to the parking lot at Dragseidet (approx 15 km and it took us 5,5 hours) To do this you need 2 cars. Note that when starting in Ervik the first part is very steep, you have to drag yourself up with a rope (that is part of the trail) so this is not recommend for people that are afraid of heights or people that are walking with bigger dogs (smaller dogs can be dragged up)

Pss. Trust the locals. Why hike in line when you can enjoy the Norwegian scenery in solitude? On this hike we met 3 people 🙋‍♀️

5-day dogsledding tour on the Finnmarksvidda (plateau) above the Arctic Circle: a dream come true

Our founders Rogier and Anne took their children on an extraordinary expedition this Easter. Read more about their experiences.

‘Every one of us got our own sled and dog team of 4 Huskies. We really got the feel of being a musher. We all got a card with the names of our dogs and had to find them in the dog yard. Put on the harness and tie them to the sled. From now on we were responsible for them.

To be honest we could write a book about everything we experienced but here are some of the highlights:
❄️Being in true wilderness in Norwegian Lapland. Like being in a desert of snow.
🙋‍♀️Meeting the locals: Sami people with unique stories to tell (and good jokes). Suossjavri Fjellstue
🐕Amazing to see how hard the dogs work and how motivated they are even after 50 Km. Taking care of them and making sure they were doing well was a grateful task.
❤️Learning from our guide Christel who has 20 years of experience as a musher.
🛷Being outside all day in a scenery that changed everyday: through the forest, along and over rivers, over huge ice covered lakes, hills or just the vast endlessness of the plateau.
🤪All the adventures the dogs, unintended, put us through (more details will follow on our story). Every musher knows: whatever happens: never let go of the sled. This resulted in some hilarious situations, of our family members being dragged through the snow. But, they managed to get up again (often matter of team work).
Every day was filled with many good laughters.
💛Doing this together as a family: a memory we will cherish forever.
🏚Staying at remote mountain cabins (not accessible by car) without internet and running water (wonderful to be disconnected and just be in the now).
🔥The best sauna experience ever with and ice cold dip in the river afterwards (mollisjok)
🥘Eating tasty local and ecological food prepared in the kitchen of master chef Trasti and finished by us.

Thank you to our wonderful guide Christel and Trasti & Trine AS for this unique experience. You put your heart and soul into taking care of the dogs and guests. This tour changed our lives ❤️

PS. Do you desire a trip like this too? Contact us now and we are happy to design the perfect tour for next year

🤷‍♀️ I guess you are eager to get to know more about the people behind Norway Adventures? It is a great day to introduce Antoine Debruyne, since it is his birthday today 🎉

🇳🇴In 2019 Antoine started working as ‘Tour manager Lofoten’ both on site and at the office for a French tour operator client. Furthermore Antoine works with all kind of back-office tasks at our office in Davik. He loves his work as kayak and hiking guide, or even better, giving ski lessons to children.

🇫🇷Antoine is 25 years old. He grew up in the French Alps and has been skiing since he was 3 years old. He studied ‘Sport Tourism Management’ in France but after studying ‘Arctic Tourism Management’ in Alta, Northern Norway, for one year, he was ‘infected’ with the Norway disease. He simply had to move here after his studies, which he did in 2019.

⛷Exploring the outdoors is what he loves the most. Ski touring and hiking in the mountains or kayaking on the fjord. Antoine’s newest hobby is fishing 🎣

We love you Antoine and hope that you will work for Norway Adventures for many years to come❤️

📢New research from International SOS has ranked countries around the world to find out how safe they are for travellers. And guess what: the safest destination in the world for 2022 is Norway. 👏 Their arguments are: Norway has extremely low crime rates even in the country's major cities such as Oslo and Bergen. There is also a low risk of terrorism, political violence, or social unrest in the country.

Earlier this fall Lonely Planet rated Norway one of the best countries to travel to in 2022 🤩

So when we are done riding the waves of Omikron, which country do you think you should visit in 2022?

We are delighted to share our favorite hike in Norway with you - hike to Mt. Hornelen. Northern Europe’s highest sea cliff. This iconic mountain in Bremanger, Nordfjord, is not so famous (yet), so you can go there without meeting herds of tourists. You will get a spectacular view over the ocean, fjords, surrounding mountains and islands. 🧗‍♂️🌊🏔️

The story behind the famous Seven Sisters Waterfall in the Geirangerfjord is extraordinary. Let this article called ‘Created by God or Ole’, inspire you. Enjoy the breathtaking pictures and videos of Norway's most famous waterfall. 👌🎈🌏
https://www.nrk.no/vedlikehald-held-liv-i-fossane-dei-sju-systrene-i-geiranger-1.15661436

Meet Ole Knivsflå and his family who have owned the farm Knivsflå for 2 centuries. Learn how one family has a big hand, literally, in boosting tourism in the area. Due to the possibility of a rockslide, they had to move in 1898, but they always return to their home. The family has been maintaining the waterfall since the start of the 20th century. They move trees and rocks that stop the flow of the water so that you can enjoy the Seven Sisters where water falls from 300 meters. Their traditions and care for the waterfall is extraordinary. 👏☺

Have you visited the Geirangerfjord? You can take the ferry across the fjord, do a guided kayak tour, hike from Geiranger, or do a rib boat tour. ⛵🚣‍♀️

Have you already seen the newest James Bond film? If not: recommended! Without revealing too much: at some point James Bond drives on a spectacular curvy road along the ocean. Well.....that is in Norway🇳🇴The scene is filmed on the 'Storseisundbrua' along the Atlantic Road. This Norwegian Scenic Route has been called the world’s most beautiful drive 🚘 and has been voted the “Norwegian construction of the century”.

To take in the beauty of the road, and the designated stops with art and architecture to the fullest, we do recommend to drive slower than 007 😂

✅ Picking the right hike for you ✅
The Norwegian fjords area, our backyard, has many different hiking trails to offer. Picking the right one is key for a great experience. We are always happy to advise our guests on this matter.

Many of our guests are experienced hikers and do well on their own, others have a much better experience joining a guide. Joining a guided tour is not only about safety, but also about learning from a local expert about flora and fauna, local history, the myths, the geological history. Being in a small group also gives you the chance to meet new people. The guide will always get you back safely no matter what happens.

When you are hiking on your own, and you want to find a hike suitable for you, you should consider:
💪Your own fitness level
🥾Your hiking skills
⚠️it is an advantage that you are realistic about the above. In Norway it is not so relevant to talk about the number of kilometers you can hike on a day. More important is the elevation and the type of trail. On the photos you see a hike to . This trail is only 3,5 km but you gain 1550 meters 😳 You also need some technical skills: at some spots you must use your hands to climb. You also need to watch out not to cause any rocks from falling and hurting the people on the trail below you.

🏔The level of the hike (in Norway divided in colors green, blue, red, black).
🌦The weather: on the day of the hike (both when you start and the forecast for the rest of the day), but also in the days before (are the trails very wet and slippery?)
🗓The time of the year (in Norway there might still be snow higher up in the mountains in June, and this can happen again in the end of September)
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧The people you are hiking with (Who is the weakest link in the group? Adapt the choice of trail to that person.) When you are hiking with children it is especially smart to hike with a guide who will guarantee a fun experience 🤗

Do you have any questions about hiking in Norway: please let us know in the comments ⬇️
