Guided group tour St. Olavsleden In a small group (8-12 persons plus guide) we hike the last approximately 170 kilometers of the St. Olav Path, from Åre/Skalstugan to Trondheim.

After our successful first ever 'own' guided group #hike in 2025, we decided to organize the same trip again in 2026 - with a few small changes. From #Sweden to #Norway along the S:t Olavsleden with max 12 people + guide, 22-31 July 2026.

The 'cool Camino': Why hikers are heading north Every summer, Spain's iconic Camino bakes under extreme heat, but Norway's St Olav Ways offer pilgrims a quieter, cooler path to redemption.

We just love the word the #BBC uses to describe trips along the Nordic pilgrim trails: “coolcations”. And always nice to get a mention 😎

When you book a trip through us, we donate to Trees for All, an organization that plants new trees all over the world. Is it greenwashing? In a way, because newly planted trees cannot compensate for the environmental impact of traveling. But it is certainly better than planting no trees at all. 🌲🌳🌴

The weather forecast for central Norway and Sweden: so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. So take it easy, drink a lot of water, wear a cap. #stolavsleden #gudbrandsdalsleden #pilgrimage #norway #sweden

For people hiking the S:t Olavsleden: we just got a message from pilgrim Tirza that the path between Alsen and Mörsil is very wet and slippery, especially here (see map). As long as it's raining, it might be better to take the bicycle road. #stolavsleden #pilgrim #hiking #mörsil #nordicpilgrim

Aqua Nor

Just a heads-up: because of the Aqua Nor conference in Trondheim, prices of a lot of accommodations in are a lot higher 18-22 August. Sometimes more than double. Book early and not in the city center, and you should be okay. aquanor.no/en/

Sure, everybody knows ABBA and a-ha. But we would like to give you some more below the radar nordic music tips. Part 1: Sweden. Dina Ögon: dreamy, nostalgic soul music with a Swedish twist. Favorite song: Det läcker.

We also got some questions of pilgrims asking us if this will influence their itinerary in some way. Don't worry: it will not.

Very sad news reaching us from #Selånger - the start of the S:t Olavsleden in #Sweden: the Selånger Pilgrimscenter has filed for bankruptcy. Our thoughts go out to all the wonderful people working there, who helped countless pilgrims have an easy and inspired start of their journey. Tusen tack 🙏

Guided group tour St. Olavsleden In a small group (8-12 persons plus guide) we hike the last approximately 170 kilometers of the St. Olav Path, from Åre/Skalstugan to Trondheim.

We just had 1 cancellation for our group hike, due to an unfortunate injury. But the group hike is still confirmed and there are still 3 open spots. Who would like to join us? From 26 July until 4 August, from Sweden to Norway. 👣

Very sad news from Trondheim: the Nidaros Pilegrimsgård is closing its doors after the 2025 season. Located just behind the cathedral, the Pilegrimsgård has been essential for St. Olav Ways. A place where, for many years, pilgrims were welcomed after their long journey. We are going to miss you. ❤️

Roos liep een pelgrimsroute van 340 kilometer over de talloze eilandjes van Finland Tijdens haar studietijd begon haar liefde voor wandelen. Eerst gewoon met simpele dagetappes door de natuur, daarna kwam heet Pieterpad en vervolgens liep ze twee weken elke dag over een pelgrimsroute...

For our Dutch followers (again): a great interview with Roos about her hike along the St. Olav Waterway, in which she name-drops Nordic Pilgrim as well 😊🙏

Every season has a few dates when people (and we as well) have trouble finding accommodation in certain places. We made a list of these dates, with the pro tip to book your accommodation very early or to avoid these places on these dates: www.nordicpilgrim.com/important-da...
