Our Holiday Grades Explained

To show the relative difficulty of our holidays, each trip is graded on a scale of 1 to 12, with 12 being the most challenging. Although we have tried to make our grading system as clear as possible, it cannot take into account your personal interests, abilities or experience. If you have any questions about the nature of a particular trip or its suitability for you, please read the 'Is this holiday for you?' section or contact us.

 1 - 3 LEISURELY
1 - 3 LEISURELY

Suitable for most people in good health, holidays at this grade include only limited amounts of activity.

For anyone who enjoys exploring on foot rather than always in a vehicle. A mixture of sightseeing and easier walking of around 2-5hrs a day. Walking paths could be around sites, through cities or on well marked trails and at lower altitudes (under 2500m). Regions are rarely flat so some ascent or descents could be expected but rarely above around 300 – 400m per day.

4 - 6 MODERATE
4 - 6 MODERATE

Suitable for reasonably fit individuals, such as regular walkers and cyclists. There can be the occasional more difficult day.

Suitable for fit weekend walkers. Consecutive walking days, of around 4-8 hours on generally good paths. Ascents and descents will increase and could be 1000m+ but often less. Some walking may be at higher altitude (3000m – 4500m) with the occasional higher pass and you may have some walking on snow. There may be occasions where you have to carry overnight kit on one or two days.

Days will be around 5-9 hours often with some steep ascents and descents. Some ice/snow trekking is possible with the use of crampons and/ice axe. You may be required to carry a heavier backpack with overnight essentials or equipment for some days and sleeping at higher altitudes (generally up to 5000m).

Overview

This one-week holiday is a journey through the best of southern Norway — combining scenic fjord landscapes, varied day walks and time to explore the historic cities of Bergen and Oslo. Travelling by local ferries and trains, including the famous Flam Railway and the spectacular Bergen–Oslo line, considered by many one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world, we experience some of Norway’s most dramatic and diverse scenery.

Our walks follow well-marked trails and include panoramic viewpoints above the King of the Fjords, the Sognefjord, and the summit of Sjebergsnuten (1166 m) with its sweeping views across the surrounding mountains and valleys.

When we’re not walking, we travel comfortably between fjords and highlands using Norway’s excellent public transport network — a relaxed and sustainable way to experience the country. Time in Bergen and Oslo offers the chance to explore their historic quarters, harbours and Nordic cuisine.

Bringing together Norway’s mountains, fjords, cities and culture, this one-week adventure perfectly captures the essence of the country’s south.

Is this holiday for you?

This holiday combines rewarding day walks with scenic rail and ferry journeys, offering a varied and immersive way to explore southern Norway. There are five days of walking, typically between 3 and 6 hours on well-marked trails, with daily ascents and descents of 300–450 metres. A good level of fitness will help you make the most of the experience, but no technical skills are required.

As this trip travels entirely by public transport, you’ll need to be comfortable carrying your own luggage on and off trains and ferries, and walking short distances between hotels and stations. With a mix of walks, scenery, travel and culture, this holiday offers a fantastic introduction to the landscapes and character of southern Norway.

Why KE?

Norway’s fjords and mountains are world-famous — but this trip goes further. Travelling by local trains and ferries, and walking some of the most scenic trails, you’ll see how naturally its landscapes, culture and everyday life connect. This wonderfully paced KE exclusive captures the true spirit of southern Norway.

Itinerary

The group meets in Bergen, Norway’s charming second city, beautifully set between mountains and sea and known as the gateway to the fjords. On arrival at Bergen Airport, make your way into the city centre — the frequent airport bus and light rail (Bybanen) both offer an easy 30–45 minute journey. Our centrally located accommodation is within easy reach of the harbour and the city’s many restaurants and cafés.

Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to wander along the waterfront, visit one of the city’s excellent museums, or simply relax by the quayside and watch the boats come and go. Bergen’s lively atmosphere, framed by its surrounding peaks and maritime heritage, makes it a perfect introduction to Norway.

Accommodation

After this morning's breakfast, we take the funicular railway up Mount Floyen (320m), one of the seven mountains that frame the city of Bergen. The short ride is a memerable highlight, climbing steeply through forest before emerging at the summit station with its sweeping views. From here we enjoy a leisurely hike on well-marked trails through woodland and meadows, a favourite spot for locals to escape into nature. There are plenty of viewpoints overlooking Bergen, its harbour and the maze of surrounding fjords. We descend on foot, following a pleasant forest path back towards the city. Later there is time to explore Bergen's historic Hanseatic Wharf, the colourful wooden houses of Bryggen and the narrow cobbled streets close by.

This morning we board the express ferry for a spectacular journey along the Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. We depart from Bergans harbour and follow a spectaculararly scenic route northeast through a network of fjords that cut deep into the mountains. The route features colourful coastal villages, steep forested slopes, snow-capped peaks and waterfalls that tumble directly into the water.. After around four hours we arrive in the picturesque village of Balestrand, once a favourite retreat for 19th-century artists and travellers.

After checking into our hotel, we head out on foot for a rewarding hike above the fjord. Our goal is Burasi (575m), where we are treated to wide-ranging views across the Sognefjord and its side valleys. For those with the energy, there is the option to continue further up to Raudmelen (972m), a more challenging summit with a commanding panorama if conditions allow. We return to Balestrand for dinner at the hotel.

We continue our fjord journey by boat this morning, travelling deeper into the Sognefjord system before reaching the small village of Flam, tucked at the head of the Aurlandsfjorden. After a short walk through the village, we set out on a pleasant hike to the Brekkefossen waterfall, which tumbles down in several stages from the mountains high above. Only the lower section is visible, but it still drops an impressive 115m in a single cascade. Returning to Flam, we board the famous Flamsbana - one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world. The train climbs steeply through the wild Flamsdalen valley, passing tunnels, cliff faces and rushing rivers. At its steepest point the train makes a stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall, where the sheer volume of water and thundering sound leave a lasting impression. After around an hour we reach Vatnahalsen (820m), a mountain hotel accessible only by rail and set in a stunning valley landscape. We settle in here for two nights with full board.

From our hotel at Vatnahalsen, we set off directly on foot for today's hike. The trail first leads down towards the famous Kjosfossen waterfall, before following the lakeshore of Reinungavatnet. From here the route climbs steadily through birch woodland and open mountainside to reach the rounded summit of Sjebergsnuten (1166m). The effort is rewarded with superb views across the valley and a string of glacial lakes - Reinungavatnet, Seltuftvatnet and Klevavatnet - lying in sequence along the old construction road known as the Rallarvegen. On a clear day, the panorama stretches back down the Flam Valley and across the surrounding peaks. We return to Vatnahalsen in time to relax at the hotel and enjoy a hearty evening meal.

This morning we rejoin the famous Bergen-Oslo railway, often described as one of Europe's great train journeys. The line climbs across the Hardangervidda plateau, passing mountain lakes and rolling tundra, before descending gradually through thick forests and fertile farmland. Along the way we cross isolated hamlets and glimpse wide glacial valleys that contrast with the bustle of the capital ahead. Arriving in Oslo in the early afternoon, we check in to our centrally located hotel. The remainder of the day is free to stretch your legs and begin exploring the city. A walk along Karl Johans Gate, the main pedestrian avenue, gives a first impression of Oslo's relaxed atmosphere.

A full free day to discover Oslo at your own pace. Norway's capital is compact and easy to get around, with a wealth of cultural and historical sites. You might choose to visit the Royal Palace and its surrounding gardens, or the medieval Akershus Fortress which looks out across the harbour. Art lovers can explore the Munch Museum, the National Gallery or the sculpture park at Frogner, where Gustav Vigeland's works are displayed. Down by the waterfront are several excellent museums including the Fram polar ship, the Kon-Tiki raft and the Viking Ship Museum, each giving a fascinating glimpse into Norway's maritime heritage. Alternatively, you may simply enjoy wandering the city's streets, stopping at cafés and soaking up the Scandinavian atmosphere.

                            [description] => This morning we rejoin the famous Bergen-Oslo railway, often described as one of Europe's great train journeys. The line climbs across the Hardangervidda plateau, passing mountain lakes and rolling tundra, before descending gradually through thick forests and fertile farmland. Along the way we cross isolated hamlets and glimpse wide glacial valleys that contrast with the bustle of the capital ahead. Arriving in Oslo in the early afternoon, we check in to our centrally located hotel. The remainder of the day is free to stretch your legs and begin exploring the city. A walk along Karl Johans Gate, the main pedestrian avenue, gives a first impression of Oslo's relaxed atmosphere.

The trail first leads down towards the famous Kjosfossen waterfall, before following the lakeshore of Reinungavatnet. From here the route climbs steadily through birch woodland and open mountainside to reach the rounded summit of Sjebergsnuten (1166m). The effort is rewarded with superb views across the valley and a string of glacial lakes - Reinungavatnet, Seltuftvatnet and Klevavatnet - lying in sequence along the old construction road known as the Rallarvegen. On a clear day, the panorama stretches back down the Flam Valley and across the surrounding peaks. We return to Vatnahalsen in time to relax at the hotel and enjoy a hearty evening meal.

You might choose to visit the Royal Palace and its surrounding gardens, or the medieval Akershus Fortress which looks out across the harbour. Art lovers can explore the Munch Museum, the National Gallery or the sculpture park at Frogner, where Gustav Vigeland's works are displayed. Down by the waterfront are several excellent museums including the Fram polar ship, the Kon-Tiki raft and the Viking Ship Museum, each giving a fascinating glimpse into Norway's maritime heritage. Alternatively, you may simply enjoy wandering the city's streets, stopping at cafés and soaking up the Scandinavian atmosphere.

The short ride is a memerable highlight, climbing steeply through forest before emerging at the summit station with its sweeping views. From here we enjoy a leisurely hike on well-marked trails through woodland and meadows, a favourite spot for locals to escape into nature. There are plenty of viewpoints overlooking Bergen, its harbour and the maze of surrounding fjords. We descend on foot, following a pleasant forest path back towards the city. Later there is time to explore Bergen's historic Hanseatic Wharf, the colourful wooden houses of Bryggen and the narrow cobbled streets close by.

                            [description] => This morning we board the express ferry for a spectacular journey along the Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord. We depart from Bergans harbour and follow a spectaculararly scenic route northeast through a network of fjords that cut deep into the mountains. The route features colourful coastal villages, steep forested slopes, snow-capped peaks and waterfalls that tumble directly into the water.. After around four hours we arrive in the picturesque village of Balestrand, once a favourite retreat for 19th-century artists and travellers. 

After checking into our hotel, we head out on foot for a rewarding hike above the fjord. Our goal is Burasi (575m), where we are treated to wide-ranging views across the Sognefjord and its side valleys. For those with the energy, there is the option to continue further up to Raudmelen (972m), a more challenging summit with a commanding panorama if conditions allow. We return to Balestrand for dinner at the hotel.

After a short walk through the village, we set out on a pleasant hike to the Brekkefossen waterfall, which tumbles down in several stages from the mountains high above. Only the lower section is visible, but it still drops an impressive 115m in a single cascade. Returning to Flam, we board the famous Flamsbana - one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world. The train climbs steeply through the wild Flamsdalen valley, passing tunnels, cliff faces and rushing rivers. At its steepest point the train makes a stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall, where the sheer volume of water and thundering sound leave a lasting impression. After around an hour we reach Vatnahalsen (820m), a mountain hotel accessible only by rail and set in a stunning valley landscape. We settle in here for two nights with full board.

Essential Information

We've compiled some of our Frequently Asked Questions to help you learn more about this amazing trip.

  • A professional and qualified tour leader

  • All accommodation as described

  • All meals as stated in the itinerary

  • All land transport required by the itinerary

  • Travel insurance

  • Meals not included in the itinerary

  • Airport transfers

  • Miscellaneous personal expenses - drinks and souvenirs etc

6 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 3 dinners are included in the cost of your holiday.

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets.  Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home.  If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice.  Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

The tap water in Norway is among the cleanest and freshest in the world and is perfectly safe to drink throughout this holiday. Please use this to refill your personal water bottles each day rather than purchasing single-use plastic bottles.

Breakfasts are taken at our hotels and are typically generous buffet spreads, with a selection of breads, cold meats, cheeses, cereals, fruit, eggs, and traditional Norwegian accompaniments such as brunost (a sweet brown whey cheese) and a range of jams including cloudberry. Tea, coffee, and fruit juice are always available.

Lunches will generally be picnic style, prepared from items bought locally or from the breakfast buffet. Expect sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and other light options suitable for our walking days. Your guide will advise on good local shops or bakeries when appropriate.

Evening meals will mostly be taken in local restaurants or at the hotel, allowing us to enjoy the excellent regional cuisine. Norwegian food is fresh, simple, and hearty — think freshly caught fish, cured meats, potatoes, and seasonal vegetables. Coastal areas such as Bergen and Balestrand are famous for their seafood, while inland you’ll find mountain lamb and game dishes. There will also be opportunities to try local specialities such as fish soup, stockfish, or reindeer stew.

Vegetarians are well catered for, though options may be simpler or less varied in smaller towns.

We spend the week in a selection of comfortable, well-located hotels chosen for their character, convenience and Norwegian hospitality.

In Bergen we stay for two nights at a modern city-centre hotel, within walking distance of the harbour and the historic Bryggen Wharf.

In the fjord village of Balestrand, we spend one night at a traditional fjordside hotel such as the Midtnes, offering magnificent views across the Sognefjord.

Two nights are spent at the Vatnahalsen Fjellstue, a historic mountain hotel set high above the Flåm Valley and accessible only by train on the famous Flåmsbana line. The hotel offers warm hospitality, hearty home-cooked meals and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by lakes and peaks.

Finally, we spend our last two nights in Oslo, again at a centrally located Hotel, close to the main station and many of the city’s main attractions.

All rooms throughout the tour are en-suite, and bed linen and towels are provided. A single supplement is available for those requesting their own room.

The group will be led by a professional and qualified tour leader.

This holiday does not involve any significant ascent to altitude and we would not expect any altitude issues with this trip.

Tipping is the accepted way of saying ‘thank you’ to your tour leader. Tipping is entirely voluntary and should be dependent on good service. We recommend that you decide levels of tipping and give any tips as a group rather than from individual group members.

As this holiday travels by public transport, you will need to carry your own luggage between stations, hotels and ferry ports. For this reason, we strongly recommend travelling light and compact. A medium-sized wheeled bag or travel rucksack (no more than 15–18kg when packed) and one small daypack for daily essentials is ideal. There are no KE-imposed weight limits beyond your airline’s restriction, but please remember that you will need to lift your bag on and off trains and boats, and occasionally carry it short distances on foot. Travelling light will make your journey far more enjoyable and manageable.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

Europe

Your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:

  • less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’)

  • valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

For the latest details on visiting countries within the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), please check the UK Government website

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders.

A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

For other nationalities, please refer to your own Government website for the latest information.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents including vaccinations and health certificates (see Health & Vaccinations below), and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check the FCDO for the latest advice for each country visited before travel.

Vaccinations

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations.

GHIC / Medical cover

UK residents should carry a free Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC). This entitles you to state provided medical treatment when you're visiting an EU country or Switzerland. This is not a substitute for medical travel insurance which is vital when travelling overseas.

The unit of currency in Norway is the Norwegian Krone.

This holiday includes a series of walks and journeys using Norway’s excellent network of public transport, with some sections on foot between stations, accommodation and viewpoints. Getting a bit of additional exercise before you travel will make a big difference to your enjoyment. You should be aerobically fit and comfortable walking for 3 to 6 hours on consecutive days, often with moderate ascents and descents. Regular hill or countryside walking is the best preparation, ideally carrying a light daypack. Activities such as running, cycling or swimming are also excellent for building general fitness and stamina. Travelling light and being confident moving with your own luggage will also make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Southern Norway enjoys a relatively mild climate thanks to the influence of the Gulf Stream. Along the coast, including Bergen and the Sognefjord, temperatures in summer typically range between 12°C and 20°C, though cooler days and rain showers are common. The mountains can be noticeably cooler, especially in the evenings or during unsettled weather.
June and early July tend to bring the longest days and most stable conditions, while late summer (August–September) often offers rich colours and crisp, clear air. As the weather in Norway can change quickly, it’s important to be prepared for all conditions — bring lightweight waterproofs, warm layers, and comfortable walking footwear suitable for mixed terrain.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

  • The Norwegian Fjords by Anthony Ham (Lonely Planet Regional Guide)

  • The Rough Guide to Norway

For this journey through southern Norway, the following maps are useful for those who enjoy a little extra detail or wish to trace the route:

  • Sognefjorden 1:100,000 Turkart Map – part of Norway’s GPS-compatible Turkart series, covering the fjord region between Bergen and Flåm with 20m contour intervals and detailed hiking information.

  • Hardangervidda 1:100,000 Turkart Map – covers the mountain plateau crossed by the Bergen–Oslo railway, ideal for understanding the landscape and surrounding national park.

Both are produced by Nordeca (Norway’s national mapping agency) and are widely available in outdoor shops in Norway or online before departure.
