Hardanger in the Summer

The Hardangerfjord is one of the largest fjords in Norway stretching from the coast south of Bergen deep into the Norwegian heartlands and high mountains. Once the home of numerous Viking settlements, the village of Lofthus provides our base for exploring the mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and rivers. Our basecamp will be Hardanger Folk High School where onsite facilities include canteen, gymnasium and access to the fjord for swimming and fishing.
