Enjoy the glorious colours of autumn in the mountains
At this time of year, the mountains “are on fire” with the oranges and reds of the trees and shrubs. There are berries a plenty and one of the pleasures of hiking at this time of year is stopping to taste blueberries, cloudberries and cranberries.
We have chosen the walks so that you see the best of the autumn colours. Each day we walk in a different area: visiting local peaks with stunning views, picnicking by clear mountain lakes and visiting wild reindeer country. Beside enjoying beautiful hikes you will have insights into Gudbrandsdalen’s rich history and cultural traditions. Our experienced guides will show you some of their favourite and less frequented areas.
This intermediate grade walking holiday is centre-based, at Venabu Fjellhotell. Our family run hotel is well known for an inclusive atmosphere and good food.
This holiday will suit hillwalkers who enjoy:
- peace and tranquility
- open landscapes and big views
- learning about the history and culture of the places they visit
- the beautiful colours and textures of the Norwegian mountains in autumn
The appeal of these hikes are the colours along with the experience of wild places and unspoilt nature.
“Thank you again for a very warm and welcoming week!”
“I very much enjoyed your hospitality and the great walks with Wenche and Joy, during the Wild Reindeer Walking week.
I very much hope to be back”.
