Step into the Viking history of Hardanger on an immersive journey combining expert storytelling, a private historical exhibition, local hospitality, and a scenic guided hike.
Meet your guide at the pier in Ulvik, dressed in traditional Viking clothing, and travel by coach towards Eidfjord. Along the way, enjoy stories about the Hardangerfjord, the impressive Hardanger Bridge, and the region’s deep connection to Norway’s Viking past.
Your guide is a specialist in Viking culture and history who, together with his wife, created a private exhibition in close cooperation with archaeologists from the University of Bergen. During your visit, explore reconstructed artefacts, watch documentary material, and learn about important archaeological discoveries made in the Hardanger region.
Gather around the campfire for coffee or tea and a slice of homemade traditional Norwegian cake while discovering how Vikings lived, worked, travelled, and used everyday objects. The intimate setting creates a relaxed opportunity to ask questions and experience history through personal stories and carefully recreated details.
The experience continues with a guided hike across the Hæreid plateau to ancient Viking burial mounds. Surrounded by the dramatic landscape of Eidfjord, hear how archaeological discoveries have shaped our understanding of the Iron Age and Viking era.
With a knowledgeable local host, authentic cultural encounters, beautiful scenery, and an active outdoor element, this tour offers a memorable way to follow in the footsteps of the Hardanger Vikings before returning comfortably to Ulvik.
