Norway small group trips

June to September. June and July have the longest light and the fullest waterfalls, with snow still at Finse. July and August are the busiest months for cruise ships in Flåm and Bergen, which our early starts work around. September is quieter, with autumn colour and the fruit harvest in Hardanger.

If you can walk two to three hours a day on pavements, cobbles and gravel paths, you will be fine.

Moderately fit. Three days have 3 to 5 hours on foot: a steady climb up Husedalen, the blue-ice walk on crampons, and a long, mostly downhill walk in the Flåm valley. Each has an easier option, such as walking to the first waterfall only or the glacier-front path instead of the ice.
