Around the World

For six days and nights in the land of the midnight sun, we will see and experience Norway’s—indeed Europe’s—largest mountain plateau: the Hardangervidda, home of the last wild reindeer in Europe and where Omundsen trained for his polar expeditions. Our hike starts in the southwestern part of the park and heads to the beautiful Hardanger fjord, NW of the park. It affords fine views of the iconic Hårteigen peak and great views from this peak’s top, a 1 hour climb. After the hike, we will visit Bergen, the western “capitol” of Norway for 1 1/2 days before taking the train back to Oslo. This rail journey is itself world famous for its splendid mountain scenery.

This is a moderate backpacking trip that requires hikers to carry 18-22 lb. packs.
