A Long-Distance Trail
More and more people want to disconnect, leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind, and head out into the great outdoors. Set a goal, either alone or with family and friends, and complete SAGA your own way. Create your own story.
The entire route follows the Norwegian Trekking Association's (DNT) marked trails, with accommodation in serviced and self-service cabins. This allows you to pack light, as there is no need to carry a tent, sleeping bag, and no more than the food you will need to eat that day.. Once you have completed the entire route, you will earn your place in our Hall of Fame.
