PILGRIMAGE

A pilgrimage trail is more than a walking route – it’s a journey with purpose. Unlike regular hiking trails, which focus on recreation and nature, pilgrimage paths invite you to slow down, reflect, and connect with the world around you. They lead to meaningful destinations rich in history, tradition and natural beauty. t’s not just about the destination, but what the journey brings, step by step.

Not only the pilgrims who booked a trip with us, but also everyone who contacted us with general questions about the various routes in the Far North. We are happy to help everyone with information – not just our custome

Guided group hike

After our successful first ever guided group hike in 2025, we decided to organize the same trip again – with a few small changes. In July and August of this year, our first group hiked the St. Olavsleden from Sweden to Norway: 10 days through the rugged Scandinavian nature with a guide.
