How far will I walk each day?
The inland route from Dovre covers between 15 and 20 km a day on well-marked trails. The pace is relaxed, the elevation manageable, but the stages can be long.
The coastal route from Bergen is much more flexible, with adjustable distances depending on how much you wish to walk.
What kind of accommodation is included?
You'll stay in rural guesthouses, farms, and small family-run inns, usually in private or semi-private rooms. Breakfast is almost always included, and dinner is provided when no local dining options are available. Each trip page details the specific accommodation setup.
Is the route challenging?
Neither route is particularly demanding in terms of elevation. However, the inland Dovre route is better suited to experienced walkers, as the stages are longer and less flexible. The coastal route is ideal for first-timers thanks to its adaptable structure: you can choose your ferries, daily distances, and optional rest days or excursions.
Are there rest days or lighter options available?
Yes! The coastal route is highly customizable, perfect for tailoring to your needs. The Dovre route is more linear and less flexible, but we can suggest slight modifications such as adding rest days or train segments to break up the longer stages.
How do I get to and from the start and end points?
Dovre: Easily reachable by train from Oslo via the direct Oslo–Trondheim railway line.
Bergen: Well connected to Italy via flights with one stop (typically via Oslo or Copenhagen), and accessible via Norway’s train and bus networks.
Trondheim: At the end of your journey, fly out from Trondheim’s international airport (connected to Italy via one-stop flights).
Selje: More remote, but reachable by bus or ferry with onward travel to Bergen or Ålesund, from where you can catch a flight home.
