Ms Torunn Tronsvang, Founder of Up Norway explains, “Up Norway was created with the modern, independent traveller in mind. If you love breaking new ground, discovering, tasting, exploring and generally enjoying life, then we're speaking the same language. Up Norway has access to a store of secret places. We'll take you off the tourist trail and give you access to sites and stories other tour operators ignore. We are extremely excited to see a strong and increasing interest in both the Asia Pacific and USA market for our unique tours, experiences and services, she continues.
With an extensive range of 27 journeys and 37 experiences, highlights include the spectacular northern lights, fiords, glaciers, cascading waterfalls, mountains, skiing and snowboarding, cruises, gastronomy, adventure, romance, family, health and wellness tours.
In addition to the Northern Lights, one of the most popular experiences Up Norway offers is the Discovery Route Adventure which can be taken either one way or as a round trip starting and ending in Bergen or Stavanger. This route was established in the 1800s by the Thomas Cook travel agency in the days of horse and carriage and steamboat travel. It showcases a spectacular landscape of majestic mountains, magnificent glaciers, crystal clear rivers, roaring waterfalls and pristine fjords, making it the perfect destination for a unique experience with unforgettable adventures and activities.
