We are very proud to introduce a guided group hike from Sweden to Norway in the summer of 2025. Over mountains, through forests and along the Trondheim fjord. Plus: a visit to the annual St. Olav Play in Stiklestad.
During this trip we hike part of the medieval pilgrim path through a sparsely populated area. This means that we walk mostly through beautiful Scandinavian nature, far away from civilization, on roads that have been there for at least a thousand years. Doing a pilgrimage means sharing meals, stories and rooms together – this truly is a communal journey along a historic path.
In a small group (8-12 persons plus guide) we hike the last approximately 170 kilometers of the St. Olav Path, from Åre/Skalstugan to Trondheim. The journey passes through Stiklestad – one of the most important places of the Olav saga, where we see the annual Olav Play – and continues along a fjord towards Trondheim. In Trondheim we receive our well-earned Olav Letter.
ETIAS travel authorization
Starting mid/end 2025, people from over 60 visa-exempt countries are required to have a travel authorisation to enter 30 European countries for a short stay. It is valid for up to three years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation.
Two important updates
As you may know, the St. Olav Path splits in two at Munkeby. You can choose between the 'Inner Trail' or the 'Outer Trail' (more info in FAQ). For a long time it was unclear what would happen to both alternatives regarding accommodation (Inner Trail) and the boat transfer to Trondheim (Outer Trail). But now we know what will happen for the 2025 season!
‘The pilgrim experience’
"Years ago, when I lost my job and also heard I had prostate cancer, my life was turned upside down. I had the impression that I hadn't fulfilled my mission in life. It took a long time before I was able to walk among people again. After a test hike along the Baltic Sea in 2005, I decided to walk 2007 the Way of St. James from the Somport Pass to Santiago. (I was inspired to do this by Hape Kerkeling and a good friend, among others). After my return back home, I changed my life. My wife and I moved to another city, to the house of my mother-in-law, who had passed away."
