SEASONS AND WEATHER
LARGE NETWORK OF PATHS AND MOUNTAIN CABINS
The Sognefjord is a great area for outdoor pursuits all year round, but July, August and September are the very best months for walking in the mountains. Remember that the weather changes faster in the mountains than in the lowlands and that you may be surprised by sudden storms and mist.
The Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) has many waymarked trails and welcoming staffed lodges and cabins in the mountains around the fjord, and Luster is the municipality in Norway with most DNT cabins. The standard ranges from rather luxurious staffed lodges that serve meals to simple selfservice cabins. You can walk from cabin to cabin or use the cabins as a base for day hikes in the mountains.
The track through the legendary Aurlandsdalen valley is one of the ancient routes between Eastern and Western Norway. Beautiful and wild, rich in flora and fauna, cultural heritage, history, varied geology and good trout fishing. You can go walking for several days and stay overnight in trekking association cabins in the valley, or go on
