I can't recommend this day trip enough! A big thank you to our guide Lars who was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure to accommodate a group of 4 and make sure everyone in the group felt included in the hike. We felt taken care of from the moment we were picked up in the morning in Majosturen until drop off. I truly enjoyed the landscape, the pace of the hike and swimming in the cold water. We ended the day with an authentic Norwegian shrimp with lemon-garlic mayonnaise in Oslo upon the guide’s recommendation. Takk!
Unforgettable Adventure Just Outside Oslo!

This guided hike was truly one of the most thrilling and memorable experiences I’ve had in Norway. If you’re craving something beyond the usual tourist trail, this is it. The route takes you up a stunning gorge where you hike right through a river and even climb ladders alongside a waterfall—a real adrenaline rush that feels both wild and completely safe
