This carefully designed itinerary invites you to discover the rich contrasts surrounding Oslo, combining coastal charm, artistic heritage, and deep-rooted history across the beautiful regions of Vestfold and Østfold, with a memorable extension into the heart of Telemark. Travelling at a relaxed pace, the journey reveals a softer, more intimate side of southern Norway, where seaside towns, cultural landmarks, and scenic landscapes are all within easy reach.
Along the Oslofjord, Vestfold offers a string of elegant coastal communities known for their maritime history, sandy beaches, and vibrant art scene. Here you will encounter charming harbours, contemporary galleries, and atmospheric Viking heritage sites that connect modern Norway with its seafaring past. In Østfold, the landscape opens to historic fortified towns, idyllic islands, and one of Scandinavia’s best-preserved old quarters, where cobbled streets and colourful wooden houses tell stories that span centuries.
The itinerary turns inland toward Telemark, where the scenery becomes more dramatic and deeply traditional. At its heart lies Dalen, a romantic village at the end of the Telemark Canal, surrounded by mountains and mirrored waters. Known for the fairytale-like Dalen Hotel and its historic connection to canal travel, the village offers a glimpse into Norway’s golden age of exploration and slow travel.
