Hike the King`s Road (Kongevegen) on Filefjell - a journey through rich history and breathtaking nature. Ancient mountain paths, the iconic Borgund Stave Church, local cuisine and comfortable accommodations.
Embark on an unforgettable self-guided hiking tour in Norway along the legendary King’s Road over Filefjell (Kongevegen). Built in the 1790s, this was the first carriage road to connect Eastern Norway and Western Norway, linking Oslo and Bergen. Once a vital travel route between ancient settlements, the King’s Road today offers breathtaking scenery, diverse hiking terrain, and a unique journey into Norway’s cultural heritage.
As one of the country’s best-preserved historic hiking trails, the King’s Road (Kongevegen) stands as a proud testament to Norwegian history and engineering skill. Walking this route gives hikers and history enthusiasts the rare chance to follow in the footsteps of travelers who crossed the mountains centuries ago. With spectacular views, fascinating cultural landmarks, and well-preserved pathways, it remains one of the most rewarding hikes in Norway.
Highlights of the trail include a visit to the iconic Borgund Stave Church, a medieval wooden masterpiece and symbol of Norway’s Viking and Christian heritage. Another unforgettable stretch is the dramatic Vindhellavegen, famous for its steep climbs and sharp bends—a remarkable feat of 18th-century road construction and a favorite among hikers.
The King’s Road hike is more than just a trek; it’s a journey through time, combining history, culture, and Norway’s stunning natural landscapes. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by mountains, valleys, and timeless scenery that make this one of Norway’s most unique outdoor experiences.
To make your trip seamless, we provide organized transport between hiking sections as well as luggage transfer between hotels, allowing you to enjoy the trail at your own pace without any worries.
