Norwegians love beeing out in the nature, either on cross country skis in winter or hiking in
summer. In Southern Norway, there are over 20.000 km marked hiking routes in summer
and 4300 in winter, so it is more enough room for everyone. Organizations like Den Norske
Turistforening marks routes with a red letter T, so it is easyto stay on the right track in the
marked routes. They also offer in total more than 500 tourist cabins for rent (from easy
accessible to very remote), about 50 are manned.

from everything at the moment, a

place such as Hardangervidda
Mountain Plateau in Norway can be
an alternative.
Geilo has a lot of beautiful mountain
trails and this one is one of the
nicest. You can either start at
Tuftelia, 4 km west of Geilo and do a
roundtrip or start at Presthold below
Hallingskarvet and just walk down
to Tuftelia. You meet both wast
mountain landscape, rivers and
waterfalls, steep canyons and forest
on your way, with some amazing
views of Geilo and Ustedalen as well.
Tuva Turisthytte is a tourist cabin
located at Hardanervudda, not far
from Ustaoset and Geilo. In this
video we visit the cafe and explore
the beautiful mountain area in
summer. A perfect starting point for
hikes.
The beautiful Lake Ustedalsfjorden
plays an important part in the
activity offers in Geilo, both summer
and winter. To give you the
impression of the beutiful scenary
and variety of sights, we take you on
a round trip, crossing small rivers, a
huge waterfall, historical viking
graves, woods, a golf course and the
beach.

backside of Hallingskarvet
mountain range. When you have
conquered the first steep climb, you

Why not make the the trip to Mount
Fløyen a hike, instead of using the
funicular. In this video, we show you
the whole route (the easiest one) to
the top.
Skansen is a viewpoint in Bergen
and a great alternative to go all the
way up to Mount Fløyen to get an
overview of the city. It is possible to
walk up in just 10-20 minutes in a
quite steep hike
If you want a spectacular view of
Bergen, visit Mount Ulriken. This is
the highest mountain in Bergen
and has a spectacular view over
Bergen and its surroundings.
Access with new (2021) gondola lift
In 2013, Sherpas from Nepal built
stone stairs all the way to the top of
Mount Hallingskarvet, which made
the hike accessible for a lot more
visitors. In this video we show you
how to get there and the hike to the
top of the stairs and further on
Prestholtrunden - a roundtrip which
ends up back at Prestholtseter.
Gaustatoppen is one of Norway´s
most famous mountains. On a clear
day, you can see as much as 1/6 of
Norway and all the way to Denmark
from the top.
If you take the Flåm Railway to
Myrdal and walk back towards
Vatnahalsen and head down a few
of the serpentine turns, you pass a
huge waterfall
At the western part of the
Hardangervidda Mountain Plateau,
where the mountains dive into the
fjords, you will find one of Norway´s
largest dams. This is also a tourist
attraction for both visitors passing
by their car and for cruise tourists
visiting Eidfjord in Hardanger.
One of the most amazing activities
you can attend when visiting Flåm,
is to rent a bike in Flåm, bring it
with you on Flåmsbana to Myrdal
and ride it back to Flåm. you follow
the river and pass some beautiful
waterfalls
