8-days hiking adventure in Jotunheimen and along the King’s Road
Experience the nature of the magical Jotunheimen National Park, by hiking through valleys to see some of Norway’s highest peaks and sleeping at historical accommodations serving local food. The terrain in Jotunheimen is rockier than what you may be used to. But with day stretches at about 12 kilometers and 5-600 accent meters, this should be affordable for the trekkers in average shape and with some hiking experience. You will also get the chance to reach some of the easier peaks in the area. The last days at Kingsoad will be a travel back in time. Here there are a lot of history, and the hikes will be easier than the start of the trip.
Day to day
Practical information
Add-on
Go to Bergen instead of Oslo
You can choose to end your trip in Bergen instead of Oslo. Then you will skip the last cruise to Bygdin and take the bus from your last accommodation.
Fjord cruise from Flåm to Bergen (5 hours)
When ending your trip to Bergen, you can travel the last bit by cruise boat from Fåm to Bergen. This is a perfect way to also experience Norway’s beautiful and deep fjords.
Extra night in Bergen
Norway’s second-largest city, surrounded by mountains and fjords. Well worth seeing.
Extra night in Oslo
If you are interested in seeing the capital of Norway, or your flight is arriving late, you can add one extra night in Oslo, including breakfast. You can also add it at the end of the trip.
Equipment
When you book with us, we’ll provide you with a packing list to ensure you have all the necessary clothing and gear.
To fully enjoy your hiking adventure in the mountainous areas, it’s important to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and local temperatures. For a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we recommend wearing warm, waterproof clothing, sturdy mountain hiking boots that provide ankle support, and sunscreen and sunglasses. It is not recommended to wear trail runners, everyday shoes, or sneakers. We also recommend bringing hiking poles in this type of terrain.
Luggage transport
We will send your luggage from cabin to cabin, so you only need to bring a daypack.

Route
Our selected daily hikes are well-marked, and you will meet other hikers. The trails are narrow, often rocky, and sometimes you need to cross rivers and streams. Therefore, we recommend ankle-height mountain boots and hiking poles.
