  • Day 1

    Bergen

    Start your Norway fjords adventure in Bergen. The city center is easy to walk around. Spend your afternoon exploring the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf and its colorful wooden buildings. A fellow traveler shares: "Even with the rain and wind, Bergen's charm shines through. Get oriented with the city early, as you'll want time to stock up on hiking supplies from the outdoor shops near the fish market."

    
  • Day 2

    Bergen to Odda

    Take the morning ferry through the stunning Hardangerfjord to Odda (2 hours). Sit on the port side for the best views. From there it's a 1-hour drive to your destination. If you get seasick easily, bring motion sickness tablets. The fjord waters can be choppy.

    
  • Day 3

    Buerdalen Valley

    Your first real hike takes you through the "Valley of Waterfalls." The 10km Buerdalen valley trail helps you get ready for bigger hikes later. Wear waterproof hiking boots. The path gets muddy even in summer. A recent hiker notes: "The hike was epic, challenging but rewarding. Our guide explained all the daily events and made sure we were prepared for the terrain."

    
  • Day 4

    Folgefonna Glacier

    Join an expert guide for glacier hiking on Folgefonna. They'll give you crampons and ice axes. The drive from Odda takes 75 minutes. Start early and wear layers. Morning temperatures on the glacier rarely go above 40°F (4°C), even in summer. You'll need to watch your step on the ice, but the views make it worth it.

    
  • Day 5

    Free Day in Odda

    Take this day to rest before tackling Trolltunga. You can go kayaking on Hardangerfjord (550-1150 NOK) or bike around Lake Sandvinsvatnet (250-300 NOK to rent). If you want to stay active without pushing too hard, take a gentle walk around the lake area.

    
  • Day 6

    Trolltunga Hike

    This iconic Norwegian hike takes 10-12 hours round trip. Leave by 6 AM to beat the crowds at the famous rock formation. You'll climb 700m in elevation. Pack at least 2 liters of water and plenty of snacks. One reviewer notes: "Anyone in reasonable shape can do this tour, but expect some steep sections where you'll use guide ropes to pull yourself up."

    
  • Day 7

    Odda to Bergen

    Take the morning bus back to Bergen for one last look at the beautiful fjords. Don't schedule any onward travel before 4:30 PM to give yourself enough time. Many visitors stay extra days in Bergen after their hiking week to see more of the city.

  • Day 6

    Oslo

    City tours usually start at 8:30 AM. Visit the Viking Ship Museum in the afternoon when it's less busy. The Munch Museum stays open until 9 PM on Thursdays. For dinner, look for restaurants in Grünerløkka instead of the more expensive harbor area.
