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!
Inner Trail
Due to the loss of two important accommodations, the Inner Trail will be rerouted: the walk will no longer go from Ersgard to Folden and onwards to Vikhammer and finally Trondheim. In 2025, hikers will follow the path along the coast, from Ersgard via Hell I will (yes, really!) to Hommelvik and on to Trondheim. This path goes through more villages than before and you also have more asphalt to endure. Fortunately, the views over the fjord make up for a lot. Please note: this walk is one day shorter than our old program, via Folden.
Outer Trail
We are very happy that in 2025 the boat from Tautra to Trondheim sails again. This means that, like previous years, the last day of this walk will end with a boat ride of about an hour, followed by a short walk to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. Please note: the boat only runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, during the months of June, July and August, with a maximum of ten passengers. We can book this boat for you. On other days we can arrange a car and train transfer to Trondheim.
Please contact us for all details.
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.
‘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."
Coastal Pilgrim Path
We are proud to introduce two new packages along the Coastal Pilgrim Route (Kystpilegrimsleia) in Norway: a mixture of beautiful hikes, guided tours and ferry trips.
