Family Adventure

Day 1 :

Your trip starts in Otta. Depending on the time of arrival of your flight and after picking up your rental vehicle, I suggest to meet you at Café Pilarguri in Otta over coffee or tea to discuss the journey that awaits you, answer your questions and give you your roadbook! We can then go shopping as you will have to cook in your cabin.

NIGHT: MOUNTAIN CABIN IN HØVRINGEN (WITH KITCHEN)

Included meals: none

Day 2 :

Today, start your day with a good breakfast in your cabin, then start exploring the Rondane National Park either directly from your cabin, or from Smuksjoseter for the popular hike (Smuksjøseter-PeerGynt) or from Putten Seter to climb to the top of Formokampen!! We can discuss these different options together.

All options are good options: in any case, you will enjoy breathtaking sceneries.

NIGHT: MOUNTAIN CABIN IN HØVRINGEN

Included meals: none

Day 3 :

Today you leave your little mountain cabin and meet with Morten in the early afternoon just a few meters away from your cabin. Morten will take you to your next accommodation: a unique place right in the heart of nature but I don’t want to tell you more!!

What I can tell you is that from this place, you can fully soak up the immensity of the Rondane massif.

NIGHT: UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION IN THE MOUNTAINS

Meals included: Breakfast

 Day 4 :

After leaving this unusual accommodation in the heart of the mountains, other mountains await you but this time, those of Jotunheimen. Take your car back and drive up to a traditional mountain farm! The drive is about 50 minutes long.

You can take advantage of this free day to visit the small village of Lom about thirty minutes from the mountain farm or to explore the hiking trails that start from the farm.

In the evening, you’re invited to taste the farm’s specialty!!

NIGHT: On the farm, in lavo (traditional tent from the Sami people)

Meals included: Breakfast and dinner

Day 5 :

Today, you will have to get up early because you have an appointment at 9:30 am in Krossbu Turisthytte (about 1h40 drive) for a unique activity: a hike on the glaciers of Jotunheimen. Bring comfortable but warm clothes, sunglasses and sunscreen.

You will be accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide and all equipment will be provided to you. Small groups guaranteed: less than 10 people.

After this long but beautiful and unforgettable experience, you will be happy to settle into the mountain cabin for the night.

NIGHT: Mountain cabin

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 6 :

Today, you have the day off. While in the mountains, you can hike through the Jotunheimen National Park or go back to the village of Lom to visit its church, for example. The bakery in Lom is also known to be the best in the area, so if you’re feeling hungry, you know where to stop. Your next stop (and next accommodation) is about 1h40 drive away. Don’t forget to do a bit of shopping as you will be in a self-catered cabin.

NIGHT: Cabin in Sjodalen

Meals included: None

Day 7 :

Today, several options are available to you. From your cabin in Sjodalen, you get many hiking opportunities. I know of a place where it is often possible to see reindeer: I can point it out to you if you are interested. Or, you can opt for a more intense activity on the tumultuous Sjoa River, like rafting or canyoning.

After this undoubtedly refreshing activity, return to your cabin and enjoy your last evening in Norway.

(If, for your last night, you want to treat yourself to a more sophisticated meal: a few minutes away, the Hindseter Hotel offers fine dining with local and traditional products. Contact me in advance to book).

NIGHT: Cabin in Sjodalen

Meals included: none

Day 8 :

Take the road back to Oslo Airport with the memory of an unforgettable and unique Norwegian experience in your minds and hearts.

And the desire to come back to discover even more this fabulous country!
