SUMMER SOJOURN IN NORWAY

7 days exploring one of the world’s most beautiful countries from South to North.

TRIP OVERVIEW

Join me on my first ever self-organized group trip to one of the most breathtaking countries in the world, Norway. Over the course of 8 days, 7 nights, we’ll explore this Nordic country from South to North, marveling in some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes our World has to offer, making connections to last a lifetime.

We’ll begin our trip in Stavanger, a picturesque harbor town on the coast, where we’ll hike to Norway’s most famous viewpoint overlooking the fjords and peruse the shutter-style old town.

Next, we’ll make our way up the coast to Bergen, Norway’s 2nd largest city situated on the Norwegian Sea, notorious for its picturesque streets lined with colorful buildings. It’s here that we’ll cruise up a fjord and gaze in awe at dramatic waterfalls and quaint villages.

Finally, we’ll fly north over the Arctic Circle to Tromsø, where we’ll begin a 3 day / 2 night road-trip through the otherworldly Lofoten Islands. Lofoten is an archipelago that stretches out along a peninsula far off the coast of Norway into the pristine waters of the North Sea and may only be described as one of the most stunning stretches of land in the entire world.
