Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in Hardangerfjord

Discover one of Norway’s greatest fjords on this flexible and varied self-guided walking holiday. Stay in high-quality fjordside hotels – three of which have a pool – and enjoy unforgettable views as you journey by boat and bus, as well as on foot.
Spectacular Hardangerfjord, the southernmost of the three great fjords, is blessed by a mild climate and renowned for its glorious colours. On this walk and exhilarating journey, you wander down from the forests and moorland above Voss to reach the deepest, most spectacular fingers of Hardangerfjord as it claws its way into the mountains of Hardangervidda.

Journeys by bus and boat are as much a part of the pleasure of this holiday as the walking. With our travel options, you can enjoy the itinerary with a minimum of walking; or by following our walk notes you can experience spectacular routes high above the fjords, and pastoral lower level walks for an intimate experience of rural Norway.

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • The average maximum daytime temperatures and monthly rainfall relate to the nearest weather station and are intended as a guide only.

    Summers in this region are similar to those in northern England, so be prepared for both warm, sunny weather and rain.
    Average temperatures and rainfall
      Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

    mm 123 89 97 49 56 71 78 95 160 161 150 151
  • Arrival in Voss
    Night 1: at Fleischer’s Hotel (the first of two nights here).

    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.

    Please note: on the days you travel between hotels, you take your luggage with you – the buses and boats stop close to the hotels, so little or no walking is involved. The only exception to this is day 2, when your bags are transported ahead to enable you to walk part of the way between Voss and Ulvik.
  • Choice of walks from Voss: 6.5km to 12km

    Circular walk from Hangur via Voss gondola: 8km, 3hrs
    In fine weather, walking the high moorland circuit from the top of the Voss gondola can’t be beaten, offering exceptional views and ambience, without significant climbing.

    Circular walk around Håmyrane nature reserve: 12km, 5hrs
    Located a three-minute train ride north-east of Voss, the Håmyrane reserve is a protected marsh and lake region surrounded by forest and farmland. Our circuit takes you to its heart – a tranquil area to picnic or spot wildlife – before returning to Voss on foot or by bus.

    Each of today's walking options can also be combined with a visit to one of the following:

    Folkemuseum:
    The excellent Folkemuseum, reached by a short but steep walk above the town, is a superb example of a preserved farm hamlet, with a nearby visitor centre/museum, giving wonderful insight to the lives of former inhabitants of the region.

    Bordalsgjelet: 6.5km, 2hrs
    The impressive Bordalsgjelet gorge is reached via an easy walk taking in Voss church and skirting the end of Vangsvatnet lake. From the dramatic vertical-sided gorge through which the Bordalselvi river flows, you return along Voss' bustling main shopping street.
    Hangur circuit
    Håmyrane Nature Reserve
    Circular walk from Hangur: 8km
    Circular walk around Håmyrane: 12km
  • Voss to Ulvik, via Granvin: 16km
    Today you travel by bus from Voss to Granvin. You can either stay on the bus all the way to Ulvik, or get off here and walk to your next hotel.

    Linear walk from Granvin to Ulvik: 16km, 6.5hrs; ascent/descent 640m
    From Granvin you join the route of the old post road as it winds through forests, pasture and high moorland, passing isolated farms and the picturesque lake at Vatnaset before descending to the village of Ulvik and the fjordside Brakanes Hotel.
    Linear walk from Granvin to Ulvik: 16km
    Forests and pastures between Granvin and Ulvik
  • Choice of walks from Ulvik: both 10km

    Cider trail & Osafjorden viewpoint: 10km, 3.5hrs
    Head out through the orchards of the cider farms to the east of Ulvik before climbing gently through meadows and forest to Jobykse, a viewpoint high above the Osafjord. On your return, you can sample the produce at one of the cider farms before retracing your steps to Ulvik.

    Frystetjørn lake: 10km, 4hrs
    West from the hotel, this route climbs from the fjordside, first on a track and then a beautiful path to reach the mountain lake of Frystetjørn, where you can picnic or even brave a swim. The onward route descends north, with views of the 1,000-metre Mount Kvasshovden, dropping gently back to the fjord and your hotel.

  • Ulvik to Lofthus by boat or bus; choice of circular walk around Lofthus: 6km or 7km
    From Ulvik you travel by morning boat or bus along the fjord to Lofthus, where you spend two nights at Hotel Ullensvang. You have the option to head out on one of the following two short walks in the afternoon.

    Lofthus ‘fruit trail’: 6km, 2hrs
    A relaxed amble along lanes through the orchards of Lofthus gives wonderful fjord views and a lesson in fruit-growing thanks to comprehensive information panels along the way. You can extend the walk by climbing alongside the river Opo, for views of the high Skrikjo Falls, as well as glimpses of a second waterfall. The route returns via Ullensvang church and swimming jetty – the perfect spot for a break before returning to your hotel.

    Circular walk via Hoveden: 7km, 3.5hrs
    Ascend to the extraordinary viewpoint at Hoveden overlooking striking Hardangerfjord. This walk can be extended with a foray up the famous ‘Monks’ Steps’ (the return route of one of tomorrow’s walks).
    Lofthus ‘fruit trail’: 6km
    Circular walk via Hoveden: 7km
  • Choice of walks from Lofthus: 8km to 18.5km

    Husedalen Falls: up to 18.5km, 7.5hrs
    After taking a bus or boat (20mins, pay locally) to Kinsarvik, walk up Husedalen, a steep, pine-clad valley boasting four thundering waterfalls. As this is an out-and-back route, you can choose how far you walk, although the views of the falls get better the higher you climb.

    Nå to Aga: 8km, 3hrs
    Take a ferry (30mins, pay locally) across the fjord from Lofthus to Nå, a cider-producing hamlet on the west side of the Sørfjord. The walk climbs to head parallel to the shore, crossing a forested shelf beneath huge cliffs and waterfalls and passing hidden lakes – one of which contains magically clear water – before descending through farming country to Aga. There is more cider, and a beautiful folk museum of village houses which are entirely integrated into their surroundings. Return to Lofthus by ferry.

    Queen's Trail: 15.5km, 7hrs or 18km, 8hrs
    For a literal highlight, there’s no better walk than the Queen’s Trail, legs permitting (the walk starts with a short bus ride, with a choice of two starting points, depending on how energetic you are feeling). You are rewarded with views over the Sørfjord to the glaciers of the Folgefonna National Park before a steep descent of the spectacular Monks’ Steps, 616 stone steps built by Cistercian monks from York in the 13th century.
    Husedalen Falls
    Aga folk museum
    Husedalen Falls: up to 18.5km
    Queen's Trail (longer version): 18km
  • Circular walk from Lofthus: 7km; ascent/descent 220m: Lofthus to Bergen by boat & bus
    You have most of the day in Lofthus, so there is time to head out on whichever of the two routes suggested for Day 4 you have not yet walked.

    Your final views of the week’s memorable landscapes are from the water as you journey by boat through the early evening to Norheimsund, and then on to Bergen by bus. Norway’s second-largest city is set in a wonderful location on the western fjords. You spend your final night in a hotel well placed for exploration of the historic Bryggen district, just a short stroll from the seafood restaurants which line the harbour, for a final taste of Norway.
 

Accommodation

There is a long history of hospitality in the Hardangerfjord region and the welcoming hotels we have chosen for you reflect this. Although some of these hotels are also amongst the most historic and characterful in Norway, over the years they have grown in size and so can sometimes be busier than a ‘typical’ Inntravel hotel, though this in no way detracts from their superb settings and high standards of service.

In Bergen we work with more than one hotel, as shown below. All are hand-picked by us and, unless there is a price implication (in which case we will contact you to discuss your options), we will tell you which one we have booked for you on your booking confirmation. Wherever you stay, we recommend an extra night in the city to give you more time to explore.

    A superb mixture of places to stay in a beautiful part of Norway, with a good variety of walks. 

  • Mrs C Kelting

    31 July 2023

    The whole trip was ablsolutely brilliant.

    Highlights were - hardly any other walkers seen, apart from on the Queens trail at Loftus.

    The walk up to the lake and swim at Ulvick. The walk over the mountain from Voss to Ulvick.

    The good choice of walks provided by you.

    Our plane was delayed by 2 hours so we missed the train from Bergen to Voss. We were not able to swap the tickets for a later train. They said we had to contact the airline for a refund. Bearing in mind how often planes are delayed these days, I think it would be better to tell travellers to purchase their own tickets for this journey themselves, at the station.

    This was our first trip with Inntravel and we had a super time, we would definitely travel with them again. Norway was a stunning country and we loved the peace and tranquillity, getting in to nature and exploring this wonderful country.

  • Mrs EJ Thomson

    Highly recommend this holiday for its scenery, food and hotels. Pack your swimming gear as there are plenty of of opportunities for indoor and outdoor bathing. Instead of taking the ferry and bus to Bergen on the second last day we retraced our outward journey in order to have a little more time in Bergen as our flight home was mid morning. If there had been more frequent flights to Edinburgh we would have stayed an extra day in Ulvik and Bergen. 

  • Jim, Peebles
    20 June 2023

    The holiday was most enjoyable and the selection of places provided good variety of scenery and walking. The walks were clearly described and were spectacular. The rescheduled transfer times meant that an extra night in Bergen is essential to provide any time in the city at all.

    We ran out of suitable superlatives to describe the experiences.  On our final night in Bergen we ate at 'Seaside' in the market.  The grilled Halibut was exquisite!

  • Dr S Linton

    We were blessed with excellent weather! So the walking and the panoramic views were wonderful, especially the Queens Trail. The hotel in Lofthus was amazing with wonderful food - extensive buffet self-service choices for all 3 courses - and the outdoor infinity pool was fantastic. And there were lots of other facilities were available. All 3 hotels had great views from the bedrooms (well worth an upgrade if not on offer). The boats and buses were reliable and comfortable, and taking our own luggage on 2 of the 3 transfers was not a problem. Overall we can really recommend this holiday.

  • Ms C Coppinger

    HIGHLIGHTS: The Queens Trail was outstanding, take poles for the descent and reward yourself with a cider at the end. Accommodation was really comfortable. Public transport (buses and ferries) were on time, comfortable with spectacular views. Take a dip in the Fjords, invigorating. If you like waterfalls you won't be disappointed. Really enjoyed a slow walk round Bergen following the notes. We are in double figures for the number of Inntravel centre to centre walking holidays and Serene Hardanger is one of the best. First time with digital maps provided and really appreciated them.

    The walk from Granvin church to Ulvick was delightful.

  • Mr M Taunton

    26 May 2023

    Holiday was great, Queens walk definitely our highlight as we had fantastic weather for it. Very early June, still quite a lot of snow on the top making navigation a little interesting at times. Loved the long swim lane at Lofthus, and even had a swim in the fjord from there.

  • Ms S Heaven

    A fantastic holiday. Wonderful walks and great accommodation in tremendous locations and with very good facilities. Make sure you have some time for the pool and spa at Hotel Ullensvang in Lofthus. We did the Queens Trail from Lofthus on a glorious sunny day - one of the most memorable walks we have done.  Physically it was as described but at the limit of our abilities. It took us eight hours - we took the shuttle bus as far up at the start as we could - and picked the easiest way down.  Norway is expensive so we were sparing with drinks and made as much use of the breakfast buffets as we could.

  • KH

    Fabulous trip. No problems with transport or accommodation. Great weather. Outstanding were Queen Sonja trail/hike, hotel Ullesvang and Norwegians in general.  The gondola trip in Voss is well worth doing with access to many walks from the top. Voss folk museum was a fascinating time capsule as if everyone had left yesterday. Great walk in Bergen from Troyen to mount Ulrick with great views out across Bergen 

  • Mrs A Curtis

    01 August 2022

    The walk on the Queens Trail was the highlight. The day started in mist. Definitely catch bus up as far as you can - best investment for your legs. The trail was muddy but very well marked with blue D's. The mist cleared at times to reveal stunning views. We took it very slowly and it ended up taking 8.5hours walking but was so worthwhile. We did some of the Monks' stairs but then walked down on some gravel road to help our knees.

    Rather than doing the gorge walk in Voss, we suggest you catch the funicular up and walk on top - glorious views and much nicer than gorge.

  • Dr A Cooper

    A truly lovely experience - spectacular scenery and comfortable hotels with good food and hospitality in between. The view down Hardangerfjord from Hotel Ullensvang is just jaw-dropping.

  • Dr G Lamont

    20 June 2022

    The day we followed an old postal route was wonderful with snow capped mountains all around, a pretty lake, lovely forests, fjords and lots of flowers was a highlight. As was lunch sitting on a rock with a view of our hotel 500m below us, plus views of mountains, glaciers and the fjord. I expected to encounter a lot more walkers, but most days we saw few people.

  • Anon
    17 June 2022

    This was our first trip with Inntravel, and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had! The Norwegian scenery was stunning, with Queen Sonja's trail the highlight among the walks. We also enjoyed walking the old postal road and stopping to dangle our feet in a lake along the way. The hotels were lovely - especially Brakanes Hotel in Ulvik and Hotel Ullensvang in Loftus. We were glad to have an extra night at the latter in order to make full use of the excellent swimming and spa facilities. Norway is expensive so we appreciated having most of our meals included, and the food at the hotels was generally plentiful and very tasty though vegetarian options were limited and only available by request. Using public transport was straightforward and the connections worked well. Overall it was a brilliant trip, and we returned home feeling we'd had a good mix of adventure and relaxation.

  • Jane from London
    16 June 2022

    The scenery was stunning and the hotels were excellent. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain, but there was one perfect day and short intervals of sun on some of the other days. Two of the hikes were challenging, but there were also some interesting shorter walks featuring waterfalls and orchards. All the people we encountered along the way were very helpful. A splendid introduction to hiking in Norway.

  • Ms S Bradbury-Pratt
    Nottingham
    01 June 2022

    We were very, very lucky with the weather and had a dry and sunny week. The walking was beautiful, peaceful and unspoiled. Some challenging (in a good way) climbs and spectacular scenery. Hard to pick a favourite walk - we loved the linear walk from Granvin to Ulvik - no signs but very peaceful; the climb up to the lake above Ulvik was was tricky to follow on the ground, but so worth it to sit in splendid isolation by the lake shore for our picnic - majestic scenery; Queen Sonia's trail delivered genuinely awesome views. The setting of the hotels Brakanes and Ullensvang is glorious and we loved the outdoor pool facilities in Ullensvang.
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Norway, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). There is no need to apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) as this (and still-current EHICs) is not valid in Norway. However, should you need medical help, you can show your UK passport at the medical facility and treatment will be provided on the same terms as for Norwegian nationals. It is important that, if you already have travel insurance in place, the terms do not exclude medical cover, especially for existing conditions, in the absence of an EHIC.
