Day to Day
Winter Adventure in Norway: Fjords, Mountains & Cozy Nordic Experiences
Long have Norway’s fjords and mountains been praised for their beauty and purity, and long have travellers come in summer—yet winter reveals a quieter, more magical side. When snow blankets the land and daylight fades early, Norway offers the cozy power of kos, inviting visitors to experience familiar landscapes in an entirely new light.
From Oslo to Jotunheimen: A Scenic Journey Into Norway’s Winter Wilderness
This winter adventure leads from Oslo to Bergen through Jotunheimen and the Sognefjord area. Made for travellers with more energy than a husky, the journey includes moments of rest—but chances are you’ll still sneak out to explore. After all, winter in Norway is something no one wants to miss!
From Oslo, a scenic bus ride brings you to the winter resort of Beitostølen, where dogsledding and many other snowy activities await. After two nights, snowcoaches follow a historic route to remote Eidsbugarden, a stunning mountain village where silence itself helps you unplug.
Still craving wilderness? Continue toward Sognefjord, where Jotunheimen meets Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. Join a snowshoe hike to Paradisjuvet for breathtaking viewpoints—or try winter kayaking if you’re the adventurous type.
Finally, ride to Flåm and wrap up this Arctic journey in either Bergen or Oslo before returning to everyday life.
