INTINARY
In the morning of day one we have a introduction to the equipment and kayaks, everybody takes part, but it is optional to go for a swim. After lunch we start kayaking from Flåm towards the village Undredal, the goat capitol of western Norway. We have dinner and spend the night just outside Undredal.
After the hike we continue the journey into the Nærøyfjord, the evening will be spent in camp in the Nærøyfjord. On day three we rise early from the camp, have breakfast and continue the journey leisurly towards Gudvangen in the spectacular Nærøyfjord
After breakfast on day two we have a choice to take a hike to Beitelen, a viewpoint at 980 m above sea level or Stigen, a mountain farm. Both will give a chance to take in the spectacular view of how the Fjords have been carved out by the glaciers. The view will take your breath away!
Trips are scheduled to go most weekends during July and August, but we arrange this trip with groups larger than 4 people on request.
