GUDBRANDSDALEN

Our base in central Norway is on the edge of the Rondane National Park, looking down on the Gudbrandsdalen Valley just north of Lillehammer. This is the traditional heart of the country, with brightly painted houses and ancient wooden churches. The landscape is dramatic and full of contrasts from spectacular gorges and snow-capped peaks to undiscovered valleys carpeted with springy moss.

Walking holidays in Norway

Our walking holidays in Norway take in a landscape that is dramatic and full of contrasts from spectacular gorges and snow-capped peaks to undiscovered valleys carpeted with springy moss. The mountains here are special too. They’re the oldest in Europe and erosion has rounded them off so you’re spared the steepest climbs! During the summer, the slopes are bright with blue and white aconite, gentian and angelica. Herds of reindeer are surprisingly common here and you can expect to see exciting bird life such as falcons, hawks, ptarmigan and grouse whilst exploring the region on your walking holiday.
