These pilgrimages are not package tours in the traditional sense where a travel agency is responsible for the participants on holiday. One takes part as an individual on one's own responsibility, walking together with a group and a pilgrimage leader and with a mobile accommodation host driving an accompanying car. Board, lodging and optional transport of luggage are organised on a communal basis for the group for a reasonable price of about 400 kr. per day.
Before you sign up you should make sure that you ae able to complete a walk of between 20–25 km a day for several days.
It's very helpful if all those who want to take part sign up as soon as possible so we can plan better. Rolf Synnes takes charge of all registration.
