Seven days through Norway's fjords with the Nordic family: glacier lakes, hairpin viewpoints and a dance social at every stop. Short walks, EV charging planned in.
Tue 3 – Mon 9 August 2027Leaves Oslo at 13:00 the day after Nordic · need to be home Sunday? There's a shorter way back.
Every year, Nordic gives us something rare: a few days where strangers become family and every dance feels a little magical. This trip is about carrying that feeling beyond the festival weekend.
Same people, same warmth, out among Norway's fjords. Seven days of dancing, driving and belonging, for everyone who calls Nordic home.

The route
Seven legs, one loop through the fjords
Oslo → Fagernes → Flåm → Loen → Geiranger → Åndalsnes → Lom → Oslo. The middle days are short drives, which leaves plenty of time for viewpoints and socials.
A platform 650 m above the fjord with the iconic panorama. 25–30 min drive up a narrow road that's busiest from 10:00 to 16:00. The bus from Flåm gives you about 30 min at the top.
Mostly a travel day back over the mountains. Charge fully in Lom before you leave: this is the longest leg of the trip. There's time for one optional farewell tanda at an easy roadside lake or park along the E6, 0–3 min from parking.

Practical · The car
Renting the car
The budget below is based on a compact EV split four ways, picked up in Oslo. These are the companies to look at. Book early: August is peak season.
Hyre
Rent by the hour or the day in an app. Your phone is the key.
Electric cars such as the Renault 5 (from 799 NOK a day) and Toyota bZ4X (from 969 NOK a day)
150 km a day included, then 3 NOK per km
From age 18, with a surcharge under 23
Licences from most countries, though some need an International Driving Permit. You also need a passport or similar ID, and Hyre runs a credit check
Licence. From outside the EU/EEA? Read Statens vegvesen's rules and ask the company if you need an International Driving Permit.
Kilometres. The full loop is about 1,300 km. Check what's included and what extra kilometres cost.
Range. Day 7 is ~348 km and Geiranger has few chargers, so choose a car with range to spare.
Room. Four people with bags and tents fill a compact car. Check the boot size.
Dates. Pick up in Oslo before 13:00 on Tuesday 3 August. Return on Monday 9 August, or Sunday 8 August if you take the shorter way.
Tolls and ferries. Ask how the company bills them. AutoPASS handles both in Norway.
Prices and rules as shown by each company in November 2026. They can change, so check on the day you book.
Practical · Charging
Charging along the loop
Most stops have AC charging at campsites and hotels, with fast chargers in the larger towns. A fast charger takes most EVs to about 80% in 20–60 minutes: pair it with a meal or a coffee.
Fagernes / Valdres
Strong
Several fast chargers and AC points at shopping centres and petrol stations.
Flåm
Good
Public chargers in and near the village centre. Top up when you check in.
Loen / Stryn
Good
AC at campsites and hotels; fast chargers nearby in Stryn.
Geiranger
Limited
More limited: rely on campsite or hotel AC, and arrive with some margin.
Åndalsnes
Strong
Excellent coverage: Mer fast chargers, a Tesla Supercharger and more.
Lom
Good
AC at campsites and hotels plus regional points. Charge full before Oslo.
Plan the long leg. Lom → Oslo (~348 km) is the longest stretch. Leave Lom at 100% and plan one fast-charge stop along the E6.
The rhythm of the trip. The middle days are short drives, so one AC charge overnight usually covers the next leg.
Going home Sunday? Åndalsnes → Oslo is ~440 km. Plan one or two fast-charge stops, at Dombås or Lillehammer.
However you travel, you're one of us. Per person for the 7 days, not counting getting to and from Oslo. Indicative, based on summer 2026 prices at €1 ≈ 11 NOK.

Practical · Extras
Good to know
A few costs and tips that sit outside the daily plan.
Parking, road tolls and two ferries (Fodnes–Mannheller on Day 3, Eidsdal–Linge on Day 5) add up to roughly tens of euros per car for the whole route. A car registered with AutoPASS is billed automatically.
Gear and weather
Bring layers and a rain shell: fjord weather turns fast, even in summer. No tent? A basic one is ~€60, a solid 3-person ~€140–180.
Book ahead
Campsites and cabins in Flåm, Geiranger and Loen fill up in peak summer. Reserve the popular nights early; Fagernes and Lom are quieter and more flexible. Each day above lists who to call.
Weather and closures. The route and activities are subject to weather and final confirmation. Trollstigen is usually open from mid-May to October or November and can close at short notice in heavy rain, so check vegvesen.no/trafikk before you drive.
