Active Scandinavia

Good morning globe-roamers and welcome to the colourful city of Copenhagen. After a bit of a mingle with the new squad we'll enjoy an included dinner before heading off on a sightseeing tour of this very cool capital - an artwork of locals on bicycles, Danish pastries in cute café windows & Renaissance architecture.

Gaze at the waterways, admire the elegant locals with their Scandi Chic fashion, and watch the bridges come to life with bicycle lights. After getting acquainted with the local sights, we'll look forward to our full day in the city tomorrow. (D) Stay: Generator Copenhagen (or similar)

62% of the locals in Copenhagen use bicycles to get to work or school, and you'll soon learn that the best way to explore this colourful city is on two wheels. We've got an optional bike tour for you this morning - but it's not just about scenery - it also allows you to uncover Copenhagen's delicious culinary scene, and from vibrant Christianshavn to the freetown of Christiania you'll be served delicious regional eats as you uncover the city like a local.

Stand Up Paddleboarding is also up for grabs today if you want to stay active, before we head to Tivoli Gardens Water Park. Here you can enjoy the rides or just relax and enjoy the food. (B)

Though you'll feel like you know Norway inside out by now, you can't really grasp the country until you've witnessed its great open plains & small country towns... Welcome to Voss, the adventure capital of Norway! We'll have plenty of adrenaline spiking adventures available to us in this place, and today you can get stuck in straight away with skydiving or rappelling down a waterfall, living our best action hero lives.

After all of that excitement, a free afternoon to chill might be in order. You can also enjoy a different kind of chill today. We're surrounded by a spectacular lake with diving platforms, so take the polar plunge into the icy depths below if you're brave enough. (B/D) Stay: Voss Vandrarheim Hostel (or similar)

Norwegian countryside and pretty waterfalls will highlight our journey to the 200 km long Sognefjord, a sight set to take your breath away. After photo op stops at the Tvindefossen Waterfall and lunch at the Boyabreen Glacier, we'll continue our journey to Geiranger Fjord where we'll spend the night surrounded by some of mother nature's finest.

On arrival we'll take a guided hike along the fjord, which will truly take the breath away, before enjoying included dinner at our accom. Another polar plunge is available for those wanting to wake up a bit... (B/D) Stay: Hellesylt Vandrerhjem (or similar)

There's no way we can drag you away from this place first thing this morning, even though we have a whole lot of adventure to fill the day. A morning cruise around Geiranger Fjord amongst cascading waterfalls should ease you into things. The alpine ski resort of Lillehammer will appear in front of us shortly after our drive past old farms and unspoilt Norwegian countryside. Home of the 1994 Winter Olympics, you'll have the chance to live out your "Cool Runnings" dreams with an Olympic Bobsled Ride!

Then it's time for a sunset hike, journeying to the spectacular viewpoints of Flaksjølihøgda. Sometimes this place feels like a different planet... (B) Stay: HI Hostel Lillehammer (or similar)

Rise and shine! More adventures await. Today we're crossing the border from Norway to Sweden, so keep an eye out for the famous Vasaloppet start line. We'll let you enjoy the lake for a few hours and then we've got a special visit planned. Visiting a working Alaskan Husky Kennel, you'll meet some locals who explain how they train and look after their pack, before enjoying a BBQ dinner surrounded by spectacular vistas.

Want to experience more of the surroundings? Take a short hike to see where bears live and hibernate, with an unforgettable Swedish Bear Hike. (B/D) Stay: Torgåsgården (or similar)
