The groups are
limited to no more then 24 people!
All walks will
be at an easy to moderate pace and
are
optional and there is some
variation in length and terrain
each
day. In Oslo and Bergen we do
walking tours on
mostly flat terrain
and paved surfaces. City walking
tours
will be of 1-3 hours duration,
but will include plenty of
stops
with the possibility to sit down
during information
talks or portions
that we use public transportation
(such as ferries and streetcars).
We will do a couple of shorter walks
in the countryside.
One will be a
short walk in the Valdres mountains
of about
20-40 minute duration on a
road and small rocky trail in
hilly
terrain. Our starting point will be
at a vantage point
and we will only
do this in good weather, so PAX who
choose not do this walk can wait by
or on the bus and
enjoy the mountain
view.
We do a walking tour in connection
with our farm visit.
We do a loop
through the farmer's orchard on a
dirt road
that leads steeply up to a
vantage point. We do this at a
slow
pace as the farmer is stopping often
to give
information. PAX can leave
this walk at any time and head
back
down to the bus and a sheltered
area. This walking
tour takes about
45 minutes.
In Ullensvang on the fjord, we have
a free day in
which PAX can go
hiking, enjoy the hotel's facilities
or just relax. I'll do a couple of
walks with interested
group members
of 1-2 hours duration on good
surfaces
(paved or dirt roads) with
some hilly to steep portions.
I'll
present options for those interested
in more strenuous
or easier
alternatives. This is a very good
area to do walks
or other activities
on your own - so everyone can
comfortably do what they like here.
We also have a bike ride
included from Myrdal to Flåm.
This is
downhill (steep at times) or flat
and will be about
3 hours
durations with a stops for a picnic
lunch and photos.
PAX who
do not want to do the bike trip can
take the
train
down from Myrdal to Flåm.
