Pilegrimsleden

Pilegrimsleden in Norway, also known as St. Olav Ways, takes you through beautiful landscapes, cultural heritage sites, and historical areas. All the trails lead to the burial place of St. Olav at Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.

You can choose to walk along one of the eight land-based trails or travel by land and sea along the coastal route, Kystpilegrimsleia. It is also possible to cycle or ride horses along certain sections.
The main season for pilgrimage in Norway is from 1st June to 1st September. Some of the routes are also accessible, with open accommodation, in spring and autumn.

Pilegrimsleden in Norway is part of a European network of trails rooted in the medieval pilgrimage tradition.
