In a nutshell

There's only one way to make Haugesund yours, from an original and satisfying perspective: connect to nature along with a Nordic walking expert, who will accompany you as you push your limits on the trails most traveled by real Norwegians. Like them, you'll experience a new adventure that is both healthy and sustainable, among paths through the city and panoramic views over the fjord, including a snack of typical “brunost” cheese.

The programme

The Norwegians know: Nordic walking is good for the body, boosts mood and protects the environment. Today will also represent a different way for you to learn about Haugesund and the trails that are most loved by its inhabitants.
So grab your walking poles and get ready to drive with arms and legs, with an expert in this typical Nordic outdoor sport.
Begin the tour walking through the city center. Passing by Our Saviour’s Church, the City Park and Skåre Church, we head towards the coastal hiking trail towards Haraldshaugen. This is the place mentioned in Snorre’s sagas as the site where Harald Fairhair is buried.
After so much activity, a typical Norwegian snack awaits you, with “brunost”, the characteristic brown cheese from the region.

Good to know

We’ll take care of providing the Nordic walking poles.
