Hikes and packages

Let us arrange the practical part, then you can just enjoy the hike

We can arrange accommodation, meals, luggage transport, pilgrim passes, roadmap, English information about points of interest. If you have questions or encounter problems during your trip then there is always an English-speaking contact available in the region. Would you like to take care of food yourself? You will receive a list showing food shops and dining and cooking facilities along the route. Do you just have a short period of time? We will together pick the best option for you. And if you carry your own luggage while walking, traveling can be even more ‘low budget’.

If you have special requests, for example the rental of bicycles or dietary needs, please let us know. We like to deliver customized solutions. We can also assist with booking extra nights in the starting and ending points of your journey and advice how to get there and away.

Below are the target prices for the various standard etappes. Prices include accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, maps and information (although there are a couple of places that you will have to fix your own meals – info about restaurants/shops is included). The prices do not include luggage transport, travel to and from Sweden/Norway.

Of course it is possible to add walking days and stages together or split stages up, depending on the time and the number of kilometers you would like to walk. We can provide a realistic schedule and make a quotation for you.

“Ruben did a fantastic job organising the trip from Selånger to Stiklestad. He tailored the daily stages to match out abilities. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was ideal. The luggage was transported from place to place which meant we only had to carry a day pack. I am very happy to recommend Nordic Pilgrim.” Photo montage of the trip

“St. Olavsleden was my first full pilgrimage. I walked from Sundsvall to Trondheim in 2019. Before the trip, I was so determined but yet so unsure. I just wanted to walk. I was lucky to find Nordic Pilgrim. With the accommodations and meals settled, I could enjoy the route more carefree. I still had some issues here and there, both physical and mental. Nordic Pilgrim’s online company and support helped a lot. I highly recommend Nordic Pilgrim.”

“Ruben (Nordic Pilgrim) was my anchor before and during my St Olavsleden. He was always available and didn’t mind me messing up the schedule he’d so carefully constructed for me. Also when I needed a friend to talk to (because a pilgrimage is about more than only walking…), he was there. I felt very safe and taken care of during the whole trip. I strongly recommend the luggage-service – it gives you so much more opportunity to relax and enjoy during the walking. Don’t feel guilty about this ‘luxury’; pilgrims are not obliged to suffer and it’s okay to ask for help. Trust Ruben and you’ll have a once in a lifetime experience!”

“The first year I had to give walking St. Olavsleden up after a week. The second year my son found Nordic Pilgrim – and their help made all the difference. I had such great experiences along the way each day, and in each of the places where I stayed, I received such a warm welcome. I am so glad my son found you. Nordic Pilgrim made the hike possible that gave me many great memories.”

“Nordic Pilgrim helped me with arranging my pilgrimage in the summer 2017 from Sundsvall to Östersund. My experience on the ‘road’ couldn’t be better. I walked on my own and only met nice people, stayed at nice places and enjoyed good food. When I’ll walk the next stage I will not hesitate to ask Nordic Pilgrim for help again. I still think of the pilgrimage with a smile and feel the peace inside me.”

“Nordic Pilgrim’s personal approach and handling of practical matters proved more than welcome when I had a silly accident and could not continue due to a broken ankle. I was so very pleased that Nordic Pilgrim was there for me then.”

“The fact that Nordic Pilgrim had prepared and arranged everything for us so well, we only had to walk from A to B. This enabled us to enjoy our pilgrimage intensively.”
