Рівень складності
Вирушаємо у подорож, де під ногами хрустить сніг, на горизонті танцює північне сяйво, а за вікнами поїздів розгортаються захопливі пейзажі засніжених фіордів і дрімаючих лісів.
Наша експедиція охоплює три країни — Норвегію, Швецію та Фінляндію, — і більшість маршруту ми подолаємо на поїздах, щоб відчути атмосферу спокійної зимової дороги.
На нас чекають ночівлі у крижаних готелях, захопливі катання на снігоходах по безкрайніх арктичних рівнинах, знайомство з вовками та хаскі, прогулянки полярною ніччю зі світлом ліхтарів, обіди біля вогнища в компанії оленярів саамі та відправлення полярних листівок із селища Санти. Щодня ця експедиція даруватиме нові пригоди, унікальний північний колорит і чарівну красу зимової казки.

Program
Day 1
17.06.2025
Arrival at Bodø Airport. Passing customs formalities.
Day 2
18.06.2025
We wake up, have breakfast, and check out of the hotel. After a final route check and map review, we will pick up rental cars and take the ferry to the Lofoten Islands.
Upon arrival, we will divide into crews and set off toward adventure. Our first stop will be the museum village of Å, the southernmost populated point on the Lofoten Islands, beyond which lies only open sea. The name Å is symbolic, as it is the last letter in the Norwegian alphabet, meaning stream or river.
It was once a traditional fishing village specializing in drying and curing fish. Tourism is gradually overtaking these old traditions, though racks for drying fish are still abundant. We will visit the stockfish museum, a cod liver oil workshop with tastings, mail a postcard from an old post office, and stop by the coziest bakery in all of Lofoten.
Our next stop is Ryten Mountain, one of the most iconic locations on the Lofoten Islands.
This hiking trail is popular due to a cliff where visitors can take unique photos as if they are hanging over an abyss.
Day 3
19.06.2025
We wake up to breathtaking views of the fjord and surrounding mountains. After making breakfast, we will continue exploring the Lofoten Islands. Our first stop today is the soccer field in Henningsvær.
The locals managed to build a small stadium on a tiny island, surrounded by wild northern waters. At ground level, it may look like any other stadium, but the real magic happens when you view the field from above.
Armed with a ball, a drone, and excitement, we will form teams of 12 for a friendly match to see who comes out on top.
Day 4
20.06.2025
We will wake up leisurely, prepare breakfast, and pack lunch for the road. Today we are faced with an impressive adventure that will require considerable effort. Having loaded our things into the cars, we drive to the place where hiking to Reinebringen begins.
Although the hike is rewarding, it can be tiring, so be sure to have plenty of water and snacks.
We will climb over 1,500 stone steps to reach one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Lofoten Islands, where a breathtaking 360° panorama awaits us, encompassing the Lofoten Islands and the endless expanse of the sea.
It is a perfect place for photos, so do not forget your camera to capture these views forever.
If you have the energy and excitement, you are welcome to climb even higher to the rock ledge at the top. It is there, at the very top, we will mark the end of our Lofoten part of the expedition.
Day 5
21.06.2025
After a delicious breakfast, we will return our cars to the airport, bidding farewell to our trusty vehicles and the unforgettable moments they brought us.
A small green plane will be waiting to lift us into the sky and take us to Bergen.
День принесе нам поїздку на снігоходах. Ми мчимо через засніжені простори шведської Лапландії, насолоджуючись швидкістю та безмежними пейзажами.
По прибуттю в аеропорт швидко беремо нові автомобілі і рушаємо до нашого готелю, розташованого на живописному березі фьорда Eidfjord.
Місце, де ми оселимось, стримує подих своєю природною красою. Тут ми проведемо наступні дві ночі.
Upon arrival at the airport, we will quickly pick up new rental cars and head to our hotel on the scenic fjord shore of Eidfjord.
This breathtaking natural spot will be our home for the next two nights.
Day 6
22.06.2025
We will wake up early, have breakfast, and prepare for an emotionally and physically intense day: the ascent to Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue).
The trail is of moderate difficulty, so it is important to have the right gear, including comfortable footwear, water, and food. Do not forget warm clothing, as mountain weather can be unpredictable.
It will take approximately 6 hours to reach Trolltunga.
Along the ascent, we will pass green meadows, snow, cliffs, and lakes. We will see a small one-room hut where hikers find shelter for the night and we hold our breath from the incredible beauty of Lake Ringedalsvatnet.
The final push and we reach our destination.
Upon reaching the summit, we will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. It is the perfect spot for photos. We will wait our turn, click-click, and now we will have stunning photos from one of every traveler’s dream spots.
Trolltunga is known for its unusual shape—it looks like a giant tongue jutting out over a sheer cliff. According to one legend, trolls living in caves believed that sunlight brought them death. However, one troll was foolish enough to test the rumor. The next morning, he stuck his tongue out of the cave, but the celestial body did not appreciate his bravery, and his tongue turned to stone.
Here, you can experience an incredible sense of height and boundless space. But remember to stay safe at the edge!
Time to connect with nature, rest, and have lunch.
The sun is beginning to set. We need to hurry to make it back to the parking lot before dark. The return trip will take about 4 hours.
Dinner and rest.
Day 7
23.06.2025
In the morning, after breakfast, we load our belongings into the cars and head to our next destination.
Today, we will spend the day in Flåm, where you can either plan your own leisure activities or take our recommendations to see, experience, and capture some incredible memories.
If you are following our itinerary, dress comfortably, pack snacks and water, grab your camera, and hop on the vintage Flåm Railway to Myrdal station, 866.8 meters above sea level. The journey takes about one hour, with a five-minute train stop at the Kjosfossen singing waterfall.
The train travels both ways, but for those craving an adrenaline rush, there is an option to descend via the longest zipline in Europe. Exhilarating and fast-paced—just the way we like it!
Day 8
24.06.2025
Today we will experience an explosion of emotions and adrenaline again!
In the morning after breakfast, we load our things into the cars and head off to the ferry. A short drive and absolutely fantastic landscapes of the Nigardsbreen glacier will open before us.
This blue giant is called the “melting eternity” because it is about 2.5 million years old. Nigardsbreen is one of the fifty tongues of Europe's largest continental glacier, Jostedalsbreen, and one of the most beautiful and accessible to tourists in Norway.
We leave our cars in the parking lot near the beautiful light blue lake and head to the glacier on foot.
In the parking lot, the tongue of the glacier will appear small and somewhat gray. But the closer we get to the glacier, the brighter the color will become.
A guide will meet us near the glacier. Instructions, helmets, claws, ice axes and we begin the ascent. We will see gorges, tunnels, grottoes that were created by melt water, roaring its way into the lake.
The glacier’s dense ice absorbs all colors of the spectrum except blue, we need sunny weather.Then we are guaranteed such a magnificent spectacle that what we see will make our hearts beat faster.
Day 9
25.06.2025
We wake up, have a hearty breakfast and hit the road again.
A short drive and we find ourselves in the impressive Geiranger Fjord.
This fjord is famous for its picturesque waterfalls called the Groom and the Seven Sisters. Norway keeps a legend associated with their appearance. Therefore, in time immemorial, a young Viking came to the seven sisters.
He wanted to choose a wife for himself, but could not decide which of the girls he liked best. All the sisters were incredible beauties. The young man turned into a waterfall, and behind him, the girls turned into streams of water falling from the rocks.
Day 10
26.06.2025
There is time to sleep and recover. We have a leisurely breakfast, rent out the rooms and load into the cars.
