About Aurlandsdalen Valley

Aurlandsdalen Valley is one of the finest one-day-hikes you can do in the area. The Valley is known as Norway’s Grand Canyon, and when walking through it you get close to both spectacular landscape and cultural heritage.

The leg from Østerbø to Vassbygdi is approx. 20 kilometres long and mostly downhill on single-track trail. Because of its length it is a demanding hike.
