Amazing week walking in the very beautiful Norwegian Fjords As a first time hiker I was worried about what to expect from this trip but I shouldn't have been. Spent a truly amazing week hiking varied and incredibly beautiful landscapes, interspersed with some breathtaking ferry trips. The pace was manageable (although I did start with a good base fitness) and there were often options to shorten or lengthen walks depending on capability but this was always optional. Nes Gard itself is a truly special place and perfect for an escape from real life. Waking up to the view of fjord everyday was such a contrast to living in the UK. The staff at Nes Gard are lovely and evenings were spent eating fab local food and then drinking and catching up in the bar with new found friends. This is the perfect holiday if you want a break from reality, a chance to unwind and to see some truly beautiful scenery as well as the chance to make some amazing friends.
A skiing holiday with all the positives As a veteran of 8 cross-country skiing holidays with this tour company, I found Kamben to be the best combination of all the elements needed for a successful trip. Its the location Im most likely to visit again or recommend to others. The routes, which are mostly skiable direct from the hotel, range from easier tracks with picnic huts, to undulating forest routes, to high hills with great views, all with the best signposting Ive seen.
A great holiday with great instruction. Ideal for learners as there is excellent tuition, beautiful area, interesting history and geology. If you're not happy sharing with a number of people you might want the room upgrade.
