Sail Trail

 

Unique adventure weekends combining sailing and hiking.

 

Example 1

Day 1 Odin Adventure Also known as the ‘Norwegian Horse’, Alden is an old and pronounced landmark for sailors along the coast. It rises almost vertically out of the sea

to a height of 481metres above sea level and is visible from more than100km out at sea. After an introductory sail to the island we tie alongside and make our ascent to the top. After some refreshments we  follow the trail back to the quay where Aquilo our Swedish 39ft yacht will be waiting . Enjoy a hearty mariners dinner aboard and a sound nights sleep.

 

Day 2 An enjoyable morning sail to Stongfjorden, our home port. A fine home cooked lunch of traditional fayre served in the Turner House. Built in 1909 this  splendid villa will be your home and base for our next walk up to Botnastolsvatnet.  Following the winding mountain track up to a lake, dinner is served al fresco the old fashioned way over coals. Then back to Turner House in the evening summer light .

 

Example 2

Day 1 Thor Adventure Nordsjøløype Trail  We sail due west to the string of pearl like islands called Værlandet and Bulandet. These beautiful little islands come alive with wild flowers and butterflies in summer and are a geologists dream. Arriving in Værlandet the trail goes past the Klettane mountains with a detour up the Høgekletten Mountain(163meters above sea level). The islands are linked by a series of narrow bridges so it is possible to walk or cycle over the Atlantic to the western most island of Bulandet. Dinner is served on board and guests can retire to their cabins for a well deserved rest!

 

Day 2 A full mornings sail to Stongfjorden where we are met at the quay and taken up to Turner House. A gentle walk through the forest takes us to the enchanting Gaupne Hytte . Sit at the long table on reindeer skins and feel the Viking blood rise in you as you tuck into a   memorable Norwegian Feast and toast ‘Skal’ with your wooden tankards with your fellow adventurers.

 

All you have to do is get to Askvoll(Express boat from Bergen) and your adventure will begin.
