Hi, I see you have recived a lot og good advice Elaine😊 But anyway, i would like to answer you anyway.
The busiest season is in July and August. You will very likelly meet plenty of pilgrims on the accommodations during these months. If you plan to arrive arround Olsok (29. July), you will even...
Hi Dougfitz,
I'm Sorry to hear about your trouble with our planning tool at pilegrimsleden.no. You are not alone. We are well aware of it's issues. The National Pilgrim Center in Norway are trying to work out the quirks and changing it to be more user friendly.
In 2023 the planning tool must...
Hi,
Many pilgrims tell me that this is a wonderfull hike, and they are very proud of their achievement when arriving here in Trondheim. I would not worry about the bears. Yes, Sweden have bears in this area, but they are rearly seen by people and very shy.
I reccommend you to visit our home...
I do not know about that story, and can not pin point this route. There were several "pioniers" who walked the routes long before the actual St. Olav Ways formally opened. But there were also a pilgrim route in the making conected to St. Olavsleden which was going more south through...
I belive this might be because the Norwegian and Swedish organize the work differently. In Norway the St. Olav Ways are partly state founded and have an ambition to develop and create traffic along all of the Norwegian St. Olav Ways to Trondheim. In Sweden, I belive there have only been one big...
I often hear foreign pilgrims, and also a lot of Norwegian pilgrims being puzzled by the nameing for the Norwegian Pilgrim Routes, or the norwegian "Caminos". I totally understand your trouble. Even this forum page have an inaccuracy in ist's name.
The first mention of a name during the...
I trust you know your own abillities and limitations well. Looking forward to see you in Trondheim in 2024 ;)
Sadly the Norwegian pilegrimsleden.no do not have a GPX file for the St. Olavsleden, only for the Gudbrandsdalsleden at the moment. Luckily the Swedish page Stolavsleden.com have the...
Hi, thank you for this important question
Pricerange vary a lot and I do not have the full picture. I belive the price for a single bed can range between NOK 250 - 400. Excluded breackfast. About 25 - 40 euro.
Notice that the accommodations in Norway are a lot smaler. It is hard to compete...
I have little knowledge about the field of sight impairment. Norway has a lot of terrain and can be difficult to walk for people. If i am going to reconmend a path in norway (and Sweden) for you, it will be the St. Olavsleden from Selonger to Stiklestad to Trondheim, But take the "outher path"...
Hi, thank you for pointing this out!
The St. Olav Ways crosses all of the Nordic countries, and the National Pilgrim Center in Norway are contantly developing the relations with our neighbours. My speciality is the St. Olav Ways in Norway, but yes, it is very important to note the different...
Hi, I am Toralf and I work for the Regional Pilgrim Center Trondheim in Norway. I want to make a thread where i give you our best resources for learning, planning and hiking along one of the nine St. Olav Ways in Norway. Questions are welcome
1. Where do i start?
