The week runs from a Sunday arrival to a Sunday departure, with the Bergen Line doing the heavy lifting at both ends. You take the train from Bergen to Voss (about 1 hour 15 minutes), check in, walk the shore of Lake Vangsvatnet and eat a welcome dinner of Norwegian produce before an evening restorative yoga session.

Day 2 stays close to Voss: morning vinyasa, then either SUP or kayaking on the calm water depending on conditions, a picnic lunch, an easy forest hike and sunset yin. Day 3 is the centrepiece. An early transfer takes the group to Gudvangen, where you paddle the Nærøyfjord towards the village of Bakka. At the shore, the yoga teacher leads a short breathwork and meditation session before the climb up to Bakkanosi at 1,398 m — the same fjord you paddled that morning, seen from above. Anyone who would rather not kayak can take a vehicle transfer to Bakka and join the hike from there. The day ends with a sauna and an optional cold-water swim.

Day 4 is recovery: a long restorative practice, a slow breakfast, then a choice of an easy waterfall walk, a swim or a book by the lake, plus a visit to a local farm or cidery depending on the season. Day 5 is the second signature hike. The group takes the Bergen Line to Hallingskeid Station and walks the traverse across the Hardanger plateau down to Osa — long, open mountain terrain and birch forest rather than a steep climb — before a transfer back to Voss for a hot meal and stretching.

Day 6 leaves the plan open after morning vinyasa: a walk along the fjord, another paddle, or a Hardanger cidery or farm visit. The week closes with sunset yin and a farewell dinner. Day 7 is a final short practice, brunch, and the train back towards Bergen Airport, or onward to Oslo.

What separates this from a generic yoga week is the guiding. The outdoor days are run by Outdoor Norway's own guides, who are based in Voss and know the fjord and plateau conditions day to day. All technical kit — kayaks, paddles, flotation devices, yoga equipment and safety gear — is provided, so you are not renting anything separately. The operator is a certified Eco Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) company.
