What kind of accommodation can I expect?
You’ll stay in cozy mountain inns, guesthouses, B&Bs, and locally run hotels selected for comfort, charm, and authenticity — perfect after a day on the trail.
What types of landscapes will I see?
Mountains, plateaus, and rivers on the classic Dovre route Islands and Baltic coastlines on the Waterway
Fjords, cliffs, and historical fishing villages on the Coastal Path.
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.

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