Every trip has one spare week and too many trails. These 13 treks justify it, priced and graded so you can decide in minutes and get back to packing.
Meet your English, Norwegian, or German-speaking guide beside Ålesund’s city park, gear up, and climb a south-facing rock route to Fjellstua. The steepest section comes first, with a midway bench for photos and views. Guides such as Victoria, Lucas, and Mona are praised for calm, friendly support.
“Great fun, really safe and so much better than climbing up all those stairs. Guide was friendly and looked after us. Thank you very much!”
Spend up to 10 to 12 hours hiking from Skjeggedal to Trolltunga by way of a 250-meter via ferrata and optional 50-meter Sky Ladder. Guides such as Tove, Toine, Netta, and Tron provide climbing help, local insight, and photos, including the classic needle picture.
“This was the best tour EVER! There is a free shuttle to and from the tour from the Trolltunga hotel. They had an informational meeting at that hotel the night before the tour. It was so helpful to get all the information to help us be prepared beforehand. The actual hike was so much fun. The via ferrata wasn't too hard and we felt safe the whole way up. I wouldn't want to go to the Trolltunga any other way. The tour guides were awesome. They made sure we were comfortable the whole time, taking breaks when needed and they were funny. We really appreciated this tour company and would…”
Meet your local guide at Norsk Tindesenter for a four-hour Via Ferrata climb above Åndalsnes. You’ll use fixed cables, steps, ladders, and natural rock on the B-rated Intro Wall, with views of Troll Wall, Romsdalshorn, and Bispen. Guides such as Jakk and Stian are known for calm, careful instruction.
“Great guide who was knowledgeable, great leadership and good support without being patronising. Exhausting but great fun.”
Join a professional guide at the Norwegian Mountaineering Center for a six-hour Via Ferrata climb on Åndalsnes West Wall. You’ll walk to the route, tackle steep metal holds and short overhangs, then hike toward Rampestreken and Åndalsnes. Guides such as Mathias, Isaac, and Axel have led this climb.
“This was such an amazing experience. We’re two fairly inexperienced climbers, and this was our first Via Ferrata—but we managed to finish it in under 3 hours! The views were stunning, and our guide, Mathias, was great: super fun, informative, and made us feel safe the whole time. He also took some awesome photos and videos of us, which was a nice bonus.”
You will kayak across Nigardsbrevatnet, walk to Nigardsbreen, then use crampons and a rope for two hours on the glacier. English-speaking guides such as Tato, Marcelo, Darwin, and Nahir Leila have led recent groups. Bring lunch, warm layers, rain gear, and your own vehicle.
“Ein unfassbar tolles Erlebnis – mit dem Kanu über den See und hinauf auf den Berg, wirklich einzigartig! Leider hat unser Guide das Ganze sehr getrübt. Ich erinnere mich nicht genau an seinen Namen, vielleicht „Manne“ oder ähnlich. Jedenfalls hat man bei ihm das Gefühl, man müsse Profisportler sein und alles so perfekt können wie er. Wer etwas langsamer paddelt, bleibt zurück – vom viel beschworenen „Teamspirit“ keine Spur. Während die Gruppe schon weit voraus war, wurden wir allein gelassen. Als wir wegen der Strömung steckenblieben, bekamen wir keine Hilfe, sondern nur Anschreien, wir sollten besser zuhören. In so einer Situation bringt das gar nichts, außer Frust. Respektlos, unfreundlich...”
You’ll hike beside Ringedalsvatnet, climb 250 meters of via ferrata and Sky Ladder, then sleep in a see-through dome near Trolltunga. Guides speak English or Norwegian. Ingrid is one guide praised for her calm, funny style. Dinner and breakfast are included, but you bring two lunches.
“Guide was fun and informative. The via ferrata was amazing. The pictures at trolltunga weren’t great.”
Meet your English or Norwegian guide at Bergen’s Tourist Information Center, ride the Fløibanen to Mt. Fløyen, then hike 4 to 9 km through quiet mountain terrain. Guides such as Jannis and Lina share local stories, viewpoints, snacks, and practical trail knowledge.
“The tour was excellent, and Jannis made the experience even better. He was very attentive, kind, and charismatic, making the whole journey entertaining. I truly recommend this tour to enjoy the most beautiful views of the city”
You’ll climb Øyfjellet’s iron path above Mosjøen, using fixed cables, steps, and natural rock holds before taking a 700-meter zipline over the Vefsna River. The five-hour outing suits beginners aged 12 and up, but you need a reasonable level of fitness for the long stair sections.
“Great day, challenging enough Via Ferrata, excellent guides who ensured safe and enjoyable climbing at all times. Zipwire was a perfect end to a great day.”
Spend about 7.5 hours kayaking to Austdalsbreen, eating lunch beside its 30-meter ice front, and hiking across blue ice and crevasses. English-speaking guides, including Nahir and Marcelo, lead small groups of up to nine. You drive your own vehicle from Labben to the lake.
