Trail running and hiking trip to Norway

This trip is for sporty hikers and trail runners who want to actively discover Northern Norway. You don't need to be an experienced mountaineer, but a good basic level of fitness is important.

We head out daily with two groups : a walking group and a trail running group. This way, you can experience the trip at a pace that suits you.

The stages are approximately 12 to 18 km per day and take place on unpaved paths and through mountainous terrain. For trail runners, there are extra kilometers and optional trails where possible.

You enjoy being active for several days in a row, staying in simple mountain huts or a tent, and spending a few days in the middle of the Norwegian wilderness.

This trip takes place on Hinnøya in Northern Norway , one of the largest islands of Norway. We start at Fiskefjorden and trek through the mountains towards Harstad in several stages.

Along the way, we walk past fjords, mountain lakes, and through vast wilderness. We spend the night in various Norwegian DNT huts, including Haakonsbu, Bjørnhaugen, and Grønkollen.

We stay the first night at Evenes Airport and the last night in Harstad . This allows us to combine several days in the heart of nature with a comfortable start and end to the trip.

During this trip, you can choose between trail running and brisk walking . We head out daily in separate groups so that everyone can experience the trek at a suitable pace.

The stages are approximately 12 to 18 km per day and lead over unpaved paths and through mountainous terrain. For trail runners, there are extra kilometers and optional trails where possible.

So you don't have to opt for a full trail running or hiking trip: each day, you can join the group that suits you best.

During this trip, we combine comfortable hotel stays with the authentic Norwegian outdoors. We spend the first night near Evenes and the last night in Harstad.

During the trek across Hinnøya, we will spend three nights in characteristic DNT huts in the heart of nature . Because the number of sleeping places is limited, part of the group may stay in a tent at some huts.

We provide the necessary tents, sleeping mats, and sleeping bags for these overnight stays. This way, you truly experience Norway in the heart of nature, without having to purchase your own camping equipment.

Alltractive tour guidance is present throughout the entire trip. One of our Dutch tour guides lived in this region for six years and therefore knows Hinnøya, Harstad, the language, and the surroundings well.

Every day, we head out in separate groups for trail running and hiking. This way, everyone can experience the routes at a pace that suits them.

For larger groups, we deploy extra tour guides so that both groups can set off well-guided.
