Cottage tour
On this trip, you will discover all the highlights of southern Norway: rugged mountainous landscapes, deep blue fjords, bright green glacial lakes, vast plateaus and national parks. You will have the chance to stay in authentic Norwegian log cabins and a luxurious apartment on the edge of fjords. Thus, you will be accommodated in four comfortable accommodations, ideally located for the excursions offered by Nordic, and offering good value for money. The accommodations are built in a typical Norwegian style. In Geiranger and Rondane you will also meet the friendly owners of these accommodations. In short, you will discover the Norwegian "Golden Triangle" in a comfortable and affordable way, and what's more, in a typically Norwegian way: by staying in wooden cabins!

Don't forget that you have to leave early from Skjolden! In Grotli you will take the Gamle Strynefjellweg ("the old Stryn road") and descend into one of the most beautiful areas of southern Norway: Nordfjord and Geirangerfjord. You will pass the majestic Nordfjord near the town of Stryn, and then continue to the famous Geirangerfjord.
