Each self-guided holiday comes with comprehensive route notes and a map or pocket guidebook of the area you are exploring. The route notes contain information about the places you will visit, about the local transport you might need, along with the detailed route notes for your daily walks or cycle rides. We even include some tips for the best places to stop for lunch.

You can expect to receive your Self-Guided Pack containing your route notes, a map or guidebook and all your relevant documents no later than 3 weeks before your holiday start date. We will send your documents using signed for courier so that you can track your package and know that they are safely on their way to you. For bookings of more than 4 people we will send an additional Self-Guided Pack. If you do not need this additional pack please inform our sales team. Your pack will be sent to the lead booker so please remind them to pack it before you set off.

Should your self-guided trip be part of a longer adventure requiring you to leave home more than three weeks before your holiday start date, please do inform our sales team so that we can make alternative delivery arrangements.

Our Self-Guided Holidays are perfect for your next family holiday and are suitable for children of all ages.

Our partner hotels and accommodations are able to provide cots for young children, and some offer family rooms. We can also arrange hire of children’s bikes and tag along bikes for our self-guided cycling trips and with trips such as Lake Constance and the Danube offering routes on designated cycle paths you can rest assured in keeping your family safe.

As a parent we trust that you know your own child’s capabilities, please read the itinerary details to ensure the distances covered each day are suitable for your family. If this is a first time walking holiday for your family, a centre based trip is a fantastic option as it allows you to easily opt out of a days walking if a day of building sand castles, swimming in the pool or visiting museums is calling.

Please discuss this further with our sales team who will be happy to assist in picking the best trip for your family.

This trip starts at your hotel in Bergen. All of our self-guided holidays are sold on a land only basis allowing you the flexibility to choose the travel method which best suits you. The nearest airport for this trip is Bergen Airport with departures from regional UK airports.

If you are flying to Bergen Airport you can take the airport bus to the city centre. The journey lasts approximately 30minutes and the buses operate every 15 minutes. It is also possible to take the city light rail that takes approximately 45 minutes.

If you are flying into Oslo it is possible to take the train to Bergen from Oslo on possibly one of the greatest railway journeys in the world. The train journey takes approximately 6.5 hours but it allows you to see much more of Norway's magnificent landscape, tiny villages and crystal-clear lakes.

The trip ends in Sogndal from where it is possible to take public transport back to Begern Airport. Frist take the train from Sogndal skysstasjon to Voss Stasjon where you change onto the bus to Bergan bus station. From Bergen bus station you take the metro to the airport itself. The journey take approximately 4-5 hours. It is also possible to take the ferry from Sogndal to Bergen allowing you the opportunity to enjoy the fjord from a different perspective.

This trip is on a bed and breakfast basis to allow you the most flexibility during your holiday plus we have included 2 evening meals when options for dining out are fewer.

Water is drinkable from the taps on this holiday. Please fill your personal bottles for your day in the morning. We do not encourage the purchasing of single use plastic bottles.

If you were to sum up Norwegian cuisine in a few words it would be; wholesome, local, seasonal, traditional and sometimes a little unusual. Few places in the world can offer meat and fish with such freshness and whilst the nation may have been built on its dried fish export (Torrfish) there is much more to its cuisine. You can look forward to game with moose, reindeer reared by the indigenous Sami people, deer and grouse featuring on menus, accompanied by seasonal vegetables and Raspeball (potato dumplings). Fish of course remains a staple, thanks to the regions deep-sea fishing and dramatic rivers and lakes, with fresh King crab, arctic cod and cured salmon- perfect with fresh grovbrod (whole wheat bread) or griddlecake and pickled vegetables.

For those looking to be a little more adventurous you can also look forward to some of the regions more unusual dishes such as Rommegrot (sour cream porridge) served with sugar and cinnamon. And, if that’s not out there enough for you perhaps you would like to sample Smalahove (sheep’s head). This is certainly not a dish for everyone but the dish originating from Voss is a traditional Christmas dish, served with mashed swede and potatoes. The most flavoursome parts are said to be the tongue and eye.

Here at KE we prefer Norway’s sweeter treats, with delicious warm waffles served with fresh berries and jams from fruits slowly ripened in the Hardanger, or tasty Trollkren desert (lingonberry Cream) named after the Norwegian Trolls washed down with a locally produced cider. Yum!

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide 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 diet 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.

For this trip we have hand selected a great range of traditional Nowegian 3* hotels and guest houses, each offering a fantastic breakfast buffet to fuel your hikes, a warm welcome and lots of charming features. Staying in locations for 2 nights means that you can really relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the fjords and make the most of the hotels facilities. All of the properties offer great facilities and communal areas to relax after a busy day exploring, and some offer outdoor seasonal pools.

It is possible to arrange additional nights accommodation in Bergen before or after your trip if you would prefer to explore this fabulous city a little further. Please refer to the dates and prices tab for further details or speak to one of our sales team.

Your main luggage will be transferred between each of your hotels while you are out on your hike. We ask that you please ensure your luggage is under 20KG and that your luggage is ready for collection in the morning of each hotel change. You will also need a daypack to carry your daily essentials with you.
