Sognefjord & the Peaks of Jotunheimen
Oslo · Jotunheimen · Sognefjord · Flåm · Nærøyfjord
Eight days pairing Norway's highest mountains with its deepest fjord. Cross the Sognefjellet — the highest mountain pass in northern Europe — then drop down to the King of the Fjords, the Sognefjord, and its slender arms at Flåm and the Nærøyfjord.
- Trip length
- 8 days
- Distance
- ~1,100 km round trip from Oslo
- Best time to go
- Mid-June to September — the Sognefjellet mountain road only opens once the snow clears, usually by late May or early June.
HIGHLIGHTS ALONG THE WAY
- Sognefjellet — the roof of Norway between Lom and Skjolden
- Jotunheimen peaks, including Galdhøpiggen (2,469 m)
- Sognefjord — Norway's longest and deepest fjord
- Nærøyfjord — narrow UNESCO fjord below Flåm
WHERE TO CAMP
- Lom / Bøverdalen at the foot of Galdhøpiggen
- Skjolden or Kjørnes Camping (Sogndal) on the Sognefjord
- Flåm area for the Nærøyfjord and the railway
COOL EXPERIENCES
- Guided glacier walk or the Galdhøpiggen summit hike
- Ride the Flåm Railway down the mountain valley
- Cruise or kayak the quiet Nærøyfjord
GOOD TO KNOW
- Sognefjellet is the highest mountain pass in northern Europe and a seasonal road — closed in winter, so this is a summer route.
- The Galdhøpiggen summit and any glacier walk should be done with a guide — book the glacier trips ahead in July.
- The Flåm Railway is a park-the-van-and-ride day out; reserve seats in peak season, and expect short car ferries across the fjord arms.
