Description

It’s my pleasure to offer you an 8-day trek through the Hardangervidda National Park and beyond…

Norway has more than 40 nature parks, which gives you an idea of what we’ll find in this Scandinavian country: nature in all its senses. That’s why I’d like to propose you to visit 2 of these natural areas.

During this trekking tour, we will walk across the Hardangervidda and the Hallingskarvet national parks. It’s an 8-day program which consists in linking both parks by foot.

The Hardangervidda National Park is the largest one in Norway. On the other hand, the Hallingskarvet National Park has been created to protect the wild reindeer habitat. As you can see, both are really interesting areas to visit!

Most part of the year these parks are covered by snow, which makes them virtually inaccessible during the winter. However, when the white color gives way to the green, the walks along its quiet trails are really enjoyable. Moreover, you can admire and photograph its landscapes, rest and camp in its green meadows and stay close to real nature.

During this trek, we’ll count on the company of many crystal water lakes, extensive pastures and amazing glaciers. Furthermore, the Arctic fox, the Scandinavian partridge, the reindeer and who knows if some snowy owl would also watch us during our journey.

At the bottom of this description, you can find more details about the itinerary. Keep in mind that this trekking expedition involves a very good physical condition since we must walk several hours per day.

I already have some fixed departures in July and August. If you want to book your place, please get in touch with me. It will be a really unforgettable experience on Norwegian lands. I promise you will love them!

I also lead hiking programs in the Dolomites and the Alps. Check them out!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
