Crossing Latitudes does not offer any trips and expeditions in Norway any more but …
Norway – Land of Vikings and Trolls
Norway is home to Trolls and Vikings, cross country skiers, great composers and artists. Norway is also the home of such successful explorers as Nansen, Amundsen and Heyerdahl. Their exploratory feats offer inspiration as we paddle the fjords and coastal islands of the Norwegian Sea.
Some of our favorite areas were the Lofoten Islands, the Salten Coast and the Vesterålen Islands. They are all characterized by steep and rugged mountains, deep fjords, great fishing and white sandy beaches. These sparsely populated areas are also home to some of Norway’s largest pelagic bird colonies.
Our Lofoten Multi Adventure Trip was always a favorite. This area is for people of all ages who want to enjoy a variety of cultural and outdoor activities such as bird watching, day hiking, sea kayaking day trips, fishing and visiting local museums and historic sites. We stayed in comfortable guesthouses or rorbus (traditional fishermen cabins) and enjoy the cuisine at local restaurants.
In central Norway lies the Jotunheimen National Park. Jotunheimen, which means the “Home of the Giants”, contains some of the highest peaks in northern Europe. Hoist your pack and go hiking through the most spectacular mountain range in Scandinavia!
