Norway

Through history Norwegians have been passionate about their environment and reducing their impact on Global Warming. As a result of this and their love of the outdoors Norway is a country that can still be visited and hiked through for days without seeing another soul. Its beauty and isolation brings people from around the world but with a country that’s spread over 2500km in length you will seldom have to worry about seeing them.

Canoeing

If the team wish we can then pick up our boats and spend the next few days canoeing on the river from Hovden and camping, either on islands along the way or find somewhere on the shoreline / beach. This is a massive calm river that, if the team is up for it, we can follow all the way back to the start where we will camp with hot showers and a good night’s sleep.

Trekkking

“Allemannsretten” or as we might call it “Right of Access” Norwegians have a right of access to hill walking, canoeing and camping. At Go Venture we take our environmental duties very seriously and as such will always strive to leave places better than we found them. We will trek in the Setesdal Valley in Southern Norway after spending our first night in a traditional Norwegian Larvu. The Trek can be from 4 days upwards depending on the requirements of the team and school. We will be self sufficient for the duration of the trek and will be carrying all our supplies with us. This gives us the opportunity to really get away from it all and stop in some truly stunning unspoilt locations.

Things we may see

Things to see throughout Norway include Wild Reindeer, Glaciers, Musk Ox, Pine & Birch Forests, Lynx, Caribou, Wolverine, Lemmings, Arctic Rhododendron, Brown Bear.
