This church is a biggest wooden church in Norway, constructed at the beginning of the 13th century. You might be surprised, but the church is still used for the mass. The uniqueness of these kind of buildings is that any detail of its construction can be taken out and replaced.

Låtefossen is the main attraction in Oddadalen, also known as "the Valley of Waterfalls". The Låtefossen twin waterfalls were a popular tourist attraction as early as during the 19th century. The 165 m drop waterfall is easily accessible by route 13. Water from the waterfall showers the road before it runs underneath the old stone bridge. It then runs into the Opo river meandering through Oddadalen, which has seven waterfalls over a distance of 10 km.

During the the walk on the Folgefonna glacier you will experience huge flat areas of ice, but also go into crevasse areas and do some climbing if you like. The hike will be adjusted to the wishes of the participants. For some it will be climbing and adrenalin, for some it will be a quiet walk into a different world.

Bergen is a fascinating historical city, nestled in beautiful surroundings. The second-largest city in Norway, it retains its small-town charm and welcoming atmosphere. It's a cultural hub, with outstanding museums, galleries, historical areas and special events. It also has a modern and youthful vibe, thanks to the fact that students make up about 10% of the local population.

The Stegastein viewing platform is hanging at 30 metres out from the mountain walls and 650 metres up from the fjord, and gives you the feeling that you are floating above the fjord and villages below.

The narrow and spectacular Nærøyfjord is surrounded by steep mountains with snow- covered peaks that soar up to 1,800 metres above sea level. Waterfalls cascade down the mountains and picturesque villages dot the landscape. This is an area that is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is considered one of the most beautiful fjord landscapes in the world.

Bottled water in Norway is super expensive, and the tap water there is delicious, so be sure to bring a reusable bottle with you. And if you have extra space in your luggage we recommend bringing a thermos as well, especially if you’ll be going on any long hikes. It’s just so cosy to stop for coffee/tea/hot chocolate up in the mountains – and life in Norway is all about getting cosy.

Bring lots of layered clothing: the Norwegian weather can change at a moments notice (wyou can experience 4 seasons in one day) so layered clothing is a must. We recommend thermal leggings, wet pants, cold weather layers, t-shirts and jackets and stripped off/ put layers on when appropriate!

Waterproof jacket: it rains a lot in Norway! Professional gear is worth the price tag and will keep you warm and dry no matter the conditions.

Waterproof hiking boots: They double up quite nicely as rain boots as well, so you won’t have to worry about walking around on very wet days – something Norway has a lot of.

Hat, scarf and buff: perfect to protect against the elements. Buffs are extremely versatile for hiking and can be used as a scarf, hat or to protect your face from the wind/cold/sun when the Norway weather varies!

Norway is a wonderful country to explore on foot, so bring a daypack with you so you can head off on an adventure. Plus, eating out in Norway is kind of really expensive, so this way you can bring all the food and snacks you’ll need for the day.

Norwegians love their bunads (woollen national costumes for men and – more commonly – women); brightly embroidered, they’re voluminous and often accessorised with buttons and buckles. You’ll see them worn publicly on official state holidays – notably Nasjonaldagen (National Day, 17 May) – as well as for birthdays, baptisms, family celebrations and photo sessions for Tinder profiles. Buy traditional outfits for men, women and children from Heimen Husfliden’s shops in Oslo, where everything is handmade using techniques in practice since 1912.

“There’s no bad weather, only bad clothes” is a well-worn national saying. In Norway, that’s your cue to invest in a new wardrobe addition that keeps you warm and gives you an unmistakeable dash of Norwegian style. Case in point: Dale of Norway knitwear, notably sweaters, which have been crafted since 1879 and combine 100 percent pure wool with beautiful patterns based on nature and history. The village of Dale is tucked among fjords and falls in western coastal Norway, but the brand has concept stores in Oslo and Stavanger, too.
