Welcome aboard our Sea & Mountain Sports Week. An active holiday where we sail between the islands of Norway’s most beautiful coastline: Helgeland! fI you want an eventful holiday with exciting activities and varied challenges, both in the mountains and at sea, this trip is for you!

We explore both the outer coastal islands of Helgeland, as well as the magnificent inner parts of this coast. Magnificent fjords and mountains – the Svartisen glacier and the Salten fjord-area.

From Træna to Bodø
We start this trip far out at sea at the Træna islands, as the annual music festival here comes to an end. From Træna we sail from island to island exploring the northern Helgeland archipelago. While the area offers great sea- and fjord sailing, we will also conquer and climb the legendary island’s peaks; Hestmannen (Horseman), Helgelandsbukken (Helgeland Stud), Rødøyløva (Red Island Lion) and Sandhornøya (Sand horn island), to name a few. Other highlights of this trip are the Svartisen glacier (Europe’s most accessible glacier), and the Myken island. Where the later is home to the northernmost whisky in the world. The trip ends in Bodø, one of the bigger cities in northern Norway.

Optional sea and mountain activities underway
In addition to the general program which is ambitious in itself and really making use of the 24 hour sunlight, you have a few extra options on this trip. The first optional activity is rock climbing up the 303 meter high Trænstaven – offering a fantastic view of the Helgeland coast. The other is a glacier hike on the Svartisen glacier, far into the fjords a little further north.

All the included activities along the way are part of the adventure. If you however prefer to take a break in the boat and write poems or do yoga, or do nothing at all, that’s what you will do.

As on all our trips, you also learn to sail along the way. You will have challenges, feel mastery and gain experiences & friends for life!

The Træna Music Festival
This trip starts the day the annual Træna Music Festival ends, and we strongly recommend you to participate in the festival out in Træna’s wonderful seascape. Then we hoist sails towards Bodø.

“Paradise isn’t always in the tropics,” the local Trænværingan says. According to the British The Guardian, this is “one of the best festivals in Europe ”. The Træna Music Festival is an exclusive music and cultural festival for all ages – far out at sea. It may not be as important to book the biggest stars, but the nature, the people, and the atmosphere make it a truly magical experience you should not miss!
