Top tip: It is a good idea to check the train/bus times between Bergen airport-Gudvangen before arranging your flights. The last departure from Bergen airport is about 15:30. If your flight lands after 14:30 you should consider arriving the day before and overnight in Bergen or Voss. This is a nice and relaxed way of doing it.
Arrival day is the first date of your expedition. e.g. For the 17-22 June Sognefjord expedition, arrival day would be the 17th June.
Your expedition leader will join your expedition’s WhatsApp group a day or two before arrival day to ask your ETAs into Gudvangen.
The bus stop ‘Vang camping’ is closest to our base camp at ‘Gudvangen camping’.
Gudvangen camping is just 100 meters away across the road. The other bus stop (Gudvangen E16) is in Gudvangen itself. If you get off here, it’s is a 500 meter walk back up the road on the other side to the base camp.
You will then find us here:
You may turn up when you like on arrival day before 18:00 but it’s nice to get here earlier in the afternoon and spend the day resting after your journey, getting your gear, exploring Gudvangen and getting acquainted with the group.
There will be electricity, showers, refreshments and cool company. After you are settled in and the group is all here, we’ll have a briefing and issue you with all necessary gear and food for the expedition. There will be a little ceremony and then the BBQ starts at 18:00 if everyone is here, or 20:00 at the latest. We will start paddling the following morning.
