wandelgids Zuid-Noorwegen Norway South

Deze gids beschrijft 10 kortere huttentochten die de wilde natuurlijke schoonheid van Zuid-Noorwegen laten zien.

Met als hoogtepunten Galdhøpiggen - de hoogste top van Noorwegen met 2469 m - en de iconische Preikestolen (bekende rots met uitzicht over de fjord) en Kjeragbolten aan de Lysefjord. De routes variëren van 3 tot 8 dagen (hoewel vele kunnen worden aangepast of gecombineerd om langere of kortere routes te creëren) en bestrijken Jotunheimen, Rondane, Dovrefjell, Trollheimen en Ryfylke. Ze zijn geschikt voor ervaren wandelaars met een goede conditie en kunnen worden gelopen van half juli tot eind september.

Clear route description and mapping are provided for each hike. Stages are graded according to difficulty: although all of the routes follow waymarked trails, some cross remote and challenging terrain which may include exposed sections calling for a sure foot and a good head for heights. However, in many instances, alternatives are provided avoiding the most demanding sections. The guide also offers comprehensive advice on public transport access and accommodation options, and background notes on each of the featured mountain regions.

From narrow ridges to wide glacial valleys and from shimmering fjords to striking alpine peaks, Norway is home to many awe-inspiring landscapes. Throw in the warmth and hospitality of the Norwegian Trekking Association's extensive hut network and you have all the ingredients of a fantastic adventure. This guide is an ideal companion to discovering some of Norway's classic shorter hikes and best-loved mountain landscapes.
