Itinerary
Arrive in Oslo, Norway
Day 1
Welcome to Norway! You will be picked up at the airport in Oslo and transfered to your hotel in the city. Check in, then join your group for a brief meeting.

Later, enjoy a welcome dinner at one of the restaurants in town.
Accommodation: Clarion Hotel Oslo
Activity: 1-hour guided tour
Meals: Dinner
Journey to Otta & Lom
Day 2
After breakfast at the hotel, you'll board the train to Otta. This scenic rail journey through the Gudbrandsdalen Valley reveals the pastoral landscape of eastern Norway, brimming with lakes, rivers and thick forests. Upon arrival in Otta, you'll continue by private vehicle to Lom, a picturesque village tucked amidst the highest mountains of Northern Europe. Take some time to peek around the small town and visit the 12th-century stave church, which is one of the largest still-standing stave churches in Norway. Then, head to dinner at your hotel.

Jotunheimen National Park & the Fjords
Day 3
Today, you'll move from the highest mountains in Norway to its longest fjord in one day. A full day of hiking in Jotunheimen National Park, "Home of the Giants," will reveal more than 250 peaks rising above 6,200 feet. Then, continue down to the fjords and get your first glimpse of Norway's most magnificent geological feature. Along the way, drive one of the Norwegian Scenic Routes, Sognefjellet, a spectacular mountain pass connecting the eastern and western regions of Norway (and the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe at 4,704 feet above sea level). Enter the innermost parts of the Sognefjorden, the world's second longest fjord, as you descend from the plateau.
The day's activities are weather-dependent and snow conditions will influence where you will hike. On a beautiful day, it's possible to hike across the glacier at Boverbreen, or hike to Tindeklubhytta (a more challenging trail). If conditions aren't right, you may hike to Fuglesteg lower in the valley.Accommodation: Torvis Hotel

Enjoy the town of Geiranger before continuing along the hairpin road toward Eidsdal, just across the fjord from your final destination of the day. Before crossing, hike from Kilsti at sea level to Blåhornet at the top of the fjord. After the hike, board the ferry for a short ride to Valldal, where you'll spend the night. If it's strawberry season, taste some of the best "Valldal berries," as they're known in Norway, which grow here in the valley.

FAQs
What's the weather like in Norway?
Norway is known for its spectacular beauty that is often accentuated by the changing seasons and weather. A moderate climate, it is not uncommon to find snow in the mountains in the middle of the summer or experience windy or rainy days any time of the year. That said, there are often clear, warm, sunny days, especially further South. We always encourage our guests to have an extra layer or two in their pack.
Will I get wet or sea sick while kayaking?
Our team will do their best to keep you warm, dry and comfortable while on the water. You will be paddling within the fjords which generally keep waters calm and wind to a minimum. If you are prone to motion sickness, please note that we will be utilizing some windy roads when not traveling by train or boat.
What currency do the Norwegians use?
The Norwegian Krone. No need to stock up on euros in preparation for your trip as the Norwegians are not actually a part of the European Union, despite strong ties to the member countries.
Will I see the Northern Lights?
Not on this trip. During this time of year the days are far too long to witness the Northern Lights.
