About Discover Norway

Get to know us and our travel concept

For almost 30 years, we have been creating active holidays in Norway for travellers who want to explore independently, while leaving the practical details to us.

We specialise in self-guided hiking, cycling and cross-country skiing tours, combining carefully planned routes with comfortable accommodation, luggage transport and local knowledge. Our tours take you through some of Norway’s most spectacular mountains, fjords and coastal landscapes.

Travel Independently – With Everything Arranged

Our self-guided tours give you the freedom to travel at your own pace. We plan the route, book your accommodation and arrange luggage transfers and other practical details, so you can concentrate on the experience.

Depending on the tour, you may travel from hotel to hotel on foot or by bike, ski between mountain lodges, or combine cycling and hiking with ferries, express boats, trains and local buses. We design our tours to give you time to experience the places you travel through, not just pass through them.

Local Knowledge and Trusted Partners

We know the routes, seasons and destinations we work with, and have built long-standing relationships with local hotels, mountain lodges, transport providers and activity partners.

Many of the accommodations we use are small, family-run places where you can enjoy local food and genuine Norwegian hospitality. Our local partnerships are an important part of what makes our tours work.

Active Holidays with Comfort

We believe an active holiday should be about the experience, not the logistics. After a day of hiking, cycling or skiing, you can look forward to a comfortable place to stay, a good meal and a good night’s sleep.

Whether you are looking for a challenging mountain adventure or a more relaxed journey through fjords and valleys, our tours combine outdoor experiences with the comfort and convenience that make a multi-day trip enjoyable.

Group Tours and Tailor-Made Trips

We also arrange private group tours for friends, families, companies and clubs. Many of our existing tours can be adapted with flexible dates, adjusted programmes and additional activities to suit your group.

Explore Norway your way. We’ll take care of the details.

We Take Care of the Details

Planning an active holiday in Norway takes time and local knowledge. We make it easier by arranging the routes, accommodation, luggage transport and practical details, so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

With almost 30 years of experience, we know the destinations, routes and local partners that make an active holiday in Norway run smoothly. Our hiking, cycling and cross-country ski tours are designed for travellers who want to explore independently, with the important details taken care of.

Travel at Your Own Pace

Self-guided tours are at the heart of what we do. We plan the route and arrange the practical details, while you decide how to experience it. Stop for lunch, take a detour, explore a viewpoint or simply take your time, there is no guide or group to follow.

Before you travel, we provide detailed route information, maps and other practical information. Depending on the tour, we can also arrange transport, activities, bike rental and other local services.

You choose the adventure. We take care of the details.

We Know Norway

Our passion for hiking, cycling and skiing is at the heart of what we do. We know the destinations and routes we offer because we have developed and travelled many of them ourselves.

We work closely with local hotels, mountain lodges, transport providers and activity partners, building long-standing relationships with people who know their area well. This local knowledge helps us choose good routes, comfortable accommodation and reliable logistics.

Many of our tours are developed in-house, and we know the details that matter when travelling through Norway, from terrain and route difficulty to seasonal conditions, transport connections and places worth stopping along the way.

We are a small Norwegian company with a big passion for helping people experience Norway on foot, by bike and on skis.
