Hiking Hardangervidda National Park

So one of the biggest reasons for coming to Norway was for the epic hiking. Now they're pretty kitted out for this with all these cool cabins scattered across the country and trails in between, but planning the hikes ended up being trickier than we initially first thought. It's also difficult to gauge how intense the hike is going to be... especially when 1 has to factor in a heavy backpack.😬 Anyways, we probably bit off a bit more than we could chew for our first hike! It ended up being a gruelling 92km hike over 4 and a bit days with an elevation gain of 3800m! We averaged about 20km a day over VERY rough terrain ie post glacial boulder fields, glaciers, bogs, steep rock faces etc. It really pushed us both physically and mentally this hike, but it was cool to be able to say we managed to do it and we definitely learnt A LOT of lessons from this about packing light!😅 The hike had some incredible views though and was spectacular in every other regard!Lue lisää
