How long are the St. Olav routes?

It depends on the itinerary.

The classic Dovre–Trondheim route is around 250 km, while the Waterway and Coastal Path combine shorter walking stages with boat or train transfers and range from 90 to 150 km.

Is the route well-marked?

Yes, especially the Gudbrandsdalsleden (Dovre–Trondheim), which is clearly marked.

We also provide GPS navigation via our app, so you can walk confidently even in remote areas.

When is the best time to go?

June to August is ideal, with long daylight hours and open trails.

We recommend avoiding May for the Dovre route, as snow may still be present on the plateau.

Do I need to be super fit?

Not at all — but you should be comfortable walking 15–25 km per day.

Some climbs are included, especially on the classic and coastal routes, but the pace is relaxed and the experience accessible and customizable.

What if I need help while walking?

You’ll have 24/7 support from our local team, as well as emergency contacts and full access to the app for navigation and information at all times.
