is åndalsnes worth the detour for romsdalseggen hike?
Last summer, we were planning our big trip to Norway, and everyone kept raving about the fjords and Oslo. But then I stumbled across this little town called Åndalsnes. Apparently, there’s a famous hike there called Romsdalseggen that starts right at the train station. We spent ages looking at train schedules and debating if it was worth the extra travel, especially since we’re not exactly in our twenties anymore.
The photos looked incredible—mountains, valleys, and those dramatic Norwegian skies. But I kept wondering: is it really as beautiful as they say, or is it just another Instagram spot that’s all hype and no substance? And honestly, how tough is the hike for folks like us who enjoy walking but aren’t exactly mountain goats?
Has anyone here actually made the trip to Åndalsnes for this hike? Did you find it worth the extra time and effort, or would you have rather spent those hours somewhere else? I’d love to hear your real experiences—especially if you had to juggle train times, sore knees, or rainy weather! Sometimes these so-called hidden gems end up being more hassle than they’re worth, don’t they?
