Itinerary overview
Day 1 - Hello Norway! 🤩
Our Adventure starts in Bergen where we meet & start getting to know each other. For those arriving early, an optional easy hike takes us to Fløyen, the iconic Bergen viewpoint. In the evening, we kick things off around a lovely welcome dinner in the city.
Day 2 - Bergen, its mountains & history
Time to explore the “city between 7 mountains”! We head on the famous trails behind Fløyen and enjoy a social hike in Bergen’s amazing Nature. At the top, we enjoy a lunch with a view! After some free time in the afternoon, we gather for a social dinner and evening.
Day 3 - Along the Western Coast
This morning, we hop on an express boat taking us along the coast of Western Norway and offering incredible views. Once in Måløy, we get straight into action and spend the afternoon paddling on the sea, surrounded by stunning Nature.
Day 4 - From sea to summit
Time for another day in the mountain as we head on a hike to a top in Måløy’s surrounding. The trail is steep on some parts but we adapt the pace… and get rewarded by a cosy lunch, surrounded by stunning Nature at the top. In the evening, we head to a cosy boat house for a social moment with food & sauna!
Day 5 - Exploring the Coast
This morning, we explore more of the coast on an easy hike to a beautiful lighthouse where we will enjoy a warm lunch in a cosy cabin by the sea. The views are stunning! In the afternoon, we hop again on the express boat to our next destination: the picturesque fishing village of Kalvåg.
Day 6 - Exploring Bremanger
The Bremanger area is a true hidden gem! From white-sand beaches to stunning mountains and traditional fishing villages, it offers the best of what the Norwegian coast has to offer! Depending on how the group feels, we choose one of the many trails around and spend the day surrounded by amazing views. The rest of the day is spent relaxing in this peaceful place.
Day 7 - Back to the city
For the last full day, we leave Bremanger behind and hop on the express boat back to Bergen. We reach the city for lunch and enjoy some free time around in the afternoon. In the evening, we wrap up the trip around a farewell dinner and a social evening, looking back at everything we experienced over the last days!
