Description

Strenuous activity

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Get some exercise and see the scenic wonders of Skjolden on a guided bicycle ride followed by a hike. From the pier in Skjolden, it's a short walk to the bicycle staging area where you will receive your helmet and bike. Set off with a knowledgeable guide through the peaceful Morkrid Valley on an approximately one-hour cycling route (8.6 miles) with photo stops along the way. You will learn more about the culture and history of the people of Skjolden and the flora and fauna of Breheimen National Park. At the halfway point, continue on foot to reach the dramatic Drivande Waterfall. Follow a rocky but well maintained mountain walking trail on a modest hike to the front of the falls, where you'll rest and sample flatbread and local cured meats. Refreshed, take some wonderful photos of the cascade, then hike back to your bicycle and pedal back to the staging area. Return to port after this exhilarating day.
