Fjord Hikes Worldwide: The 5 Best

1.Lysefjorden Cruise and Preikestolen Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 83 reviews · 8h 30m · from $148Our pick

Cruise Lysefjord, hike Preikestolen, and return to Stavanger by bus on this scenic, self-guided Norwegian adventure.

“Barca molto bella e comoda, Bellissimo giro sui fiordi. L'autobus di ritorno ha la stessa compagnia di quello dell'andata e bisogna chiedere informazioni sugli orari di ritorno all'autista. Nel nostro caso c'erano solo due orari, 16 o 18, noi siamo riusciti a prendere il primo. Il percorso del trekking è ben segnalato e impossibile sbagliare strada.”

2.Best View of the Oslofjord Hike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 71 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $107Top rated

Hike Oslo’s forest trails to Vettakollen for sweeping Oslofjord views, with an English-speaking guide and metro travel included.

“Pleasant hike in quiet forest and good views of Oslo and surroundings. The hike was interesting and peaceful but the pace was too quick at times leaving little time to enjoy the surroundings. At times our guide seemed more focussed on keeping a timeline than enjoying the hike. I would have preferred a more relaxed pace.”

3.Fjord Hiking – Public tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $245

Hike Bergen’s fjord country in a group of four, with mountain guides, local snacks, flexible routes, and wide-open summit views.

“It would have been so easy to cancel because of a little rain, but Norman with his deep knowledge of the fjords and the Bergen area /Norway outdoors made this one of the highlights of my trip. He was careful to make sure I was navigating the trail (a little water and mud) but the hike was invigorating and the view from the top was breathtaking. I learned so much about Bergen, Norway, and life on this hike. We may have had a little rain but Norman brought the sunshine.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $72Best value

Walk Trondheim’s Ladestien from Korsvika to Rotvoll, with fjord views, WWII ruins, local stories, and practical bus tips.

“J’ai eu la chance de participer à cette randonnée guidée, et je ne peux que la recommander à 100 % ! Le parcours était magnifique, parfaitement adapté au groupe, avec des paysages à couper le souffle. Mais ce qui a vraiment fait toute la différence, c’est notre guide. Passionné, attentif, extrêmement compétent et toujours de bonne humeur, il a su créer une ambiance conviviale et rassurante du début à la fin. Il partageait avec enthousiasme ses connaissances de l’histoire de la région… Un vrai plaisir d’apprendre tout en marchant !”
