    [description] => 

The Gol Plateau is one of Norway's hidden gems, a wonderfully scenic landscape of woodland, lakes, moorland and mountains rich in both flora and fauna. This botanical holiday is based at a delightful hotel in Kamben, from where we’ll walk each day to explore the surrounding countryside and enjoy a colourful diversity of alpine and northern flora. These botanical walks will be enriched by the profusion of butterflies at many localities and also an interesting birdlife. Although most of our exploration will be on foot, we also enjoy a memorable excursion on the famous 'Flam Railway' which traverses a complete range of Norwegian scenery from fjord to mountain.

  • Enjoy Norway’s rich Arctic-alpine flora
  • A wealth of birds and butterflies
  • A single-centre base in a delightful hotel
  • Wonderful walking
  • Travel on the 'Flam Railway'
  • Be guided by an expert Naturetrek botanist

Tell me about Norway …

An independent monarchy in the north of Europe, Norway boasts a spectacular coastline extending more than 21,000 kilometres and punctuated by a myriad of deep fjords.

Away from the coast the country consists of large expanses of high plateaux, mountains separated by deep glacial valleys and tracts of mainly coniferous forest studded by lakes.


This is a wild, largely unspoilt country with a human population density less than 1/17th that of the UK in a land area 80,000 square kilometres larger. The proximity of the Arctic Circle influences all aspects of Norwegian life resulting in long daylight hours through the summer months and correspondingly short winter days.

It is Norway’s majestic coastal fjords that so epitomise the country’s scenic splendour; yet, inland, lie some of the most attractive and varied landscapes in Scandinavia. Indeed, since agricultural use affects a meagre 4% of the country, Norway’s interior has a great deal to offer the naturalist, its wild, wide-open spaces harbouring a great variety of interesting Arctic-alpine plants and animals. By way of further attraction, the country’s high standard of living ensures excellent facilities. Thus, at the end of each day out in the wilderness we may enjoy a retreat to our base in Kamben for the week, a friendly and comfortable family-run hotel serving plenty of good traditional Norwegian food.  Kamben, just four hours by road from Oslo, is ideally situated for botanical exploration, lying just below the tree-line at 790 metres, and just 15 kilometres north of the attractive and convenient town of Gol, in southern Norway’s Buskerud province.  Spring, though, comes late to this high plateau of Golsfjellet and its surrounding peaks, there being a quick and intense blossoming of plants during the long days of early July. Then, abundant flowers attract numerous colourful butterflies and other insects, whilst breeding birds are highly active in their efforts to raise young during so short a season. 

Our aim during this week-long holiday will be to explore and enjoy the region by means of day walks from our hotel. From it, we are able to employ a wide range of well-marked footpaths that give us access to the uninhabited and peaceful places where flowers and other wildlife abound. We will range over open moorlands and around tranquil lakes, wander amongst coniferous and birch woodlands, and ascend alongside icy rivers towards the higher peaks and their rewarding Arctic-alpine meadows. In these magnificent wilderness regions we have the freedom to roam at will in our search for the area’s natural history.  It is a place where lichens abound, advertising the clean air. Some of the interesting flowering plants that we will find do, of course, also occur in northern Britain. There, though, they are rare and difficult to find; here, on the Gol Plateau, they are abundant and grow amongst so many others which are found only at these more northerly latitudes. Saxifrages, in particular, are well represented whilst, in the more open habitats, a wide range of willows may be found, from the dwarf Salix herbacea and S. reticulata to the taller S. myrsinifolia, together with many representatives of the heather family. Bird species are not numerous here, but do include many northern species which are rare in Britain such as Rough-legged Buzzard, Gyrfalcon and a variety of game birds, whilst an appealing selection of woodpeckers breed alongside Fieldfares in the woodland and forest areas. On sunny days we will be able to enjoy the wide variety of butterflies that make the most of a short flying season to dance through the meadows and soak in the sun from sheltered hollows. Numerous amongst them are members of that most confusing but elegant of families, the fritillaries. 

Close to our hotel, we will explore the mixed woodland and bogs, and ascend gently to Syningen, at about 915 metres, and Storefjell, from which far-reaching views extend over many of our week’s target destinations. On another day we will walk through the pine woodland which shelters the Twinflower (Linnaea borealis), named after Linnaeus, whose favourite flower this was. Here we will also hope to see such bird species as Grey-headed Woodpecker and Siberian Jay, before the woods give way to open areas and we continue across streams filled with Marsh Cinquefoil, and down towards Gol to end the day. To the east of Kamben we ascend on pleasing paths, through woodland and open moorland, to the summit of Nystolsfjellet, which rises to over 1,220 metres. The wide-ranging views from the top allow us to scan for soaring birds of prey, or perhaps glimpse a Merlin dashing past. Cloudberry is abundant in the damper areas, and we should see a range of Alchemillas, and may even find the tiny Bog Orchid and Lesser Twayblade. To the north, beyond Tisleifjord, lies the province of Oppland, an attractive area of lakes set amongst rounded hills. Here we will search for Elk, Ptarmigan, Capercaillie, and both Willow and Black Grouse, and also stop en route to view one of Norway’s famous elaborate wooden churches. Also in Oppland is the mountain of Skogshorn (1,615 metres). This is well worth climbing on a clear day (from a start at 820 metres, not sea level!), being the highest peak in the region and therefore offering splendid views over the surrounding mountains and lakes, as well as a fabulous mountain flora. 

Perhaps the most spectacular day of all, however (provided the weather is reasonable), will be our expedition to the famous Flam railway. This uses a range of transport — bus, mountain railway and fjordland boat — to travel through very varied mountain and fjordland scenery, including a visit to the spectacular waterfall at Flam, as well as Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord. A remarkable day in which to combine both montane and coastal plants and birds (including such seabirds as gulls, terns and auks!).

Summary

It is Norway’s majestic coastal fjords that so epitomise the country’s scenic splendour; yet, inland, lie some of the most attractive and varied landscapes in Scandinavia. Indeed, since agricultural use affects a meagre 4% of the country, Norway’s interior has a great deal to offer the naturalist, its wild, wide-open spaces harbouring a great variety of interesting Arctic-alpine plants and animals. By way of further attraction, the country’s high standard of living ensures excellent facilities. Thus, at the end of each day out in the wilderness we may enjoy a retreat to our base in Kamben for the week, a friendly and comfortable family-run hotel serving plenty of good traditional Norwegian food.  Kamben, just four hours by road from Oslo, is ideally situated for botanical exploration, lying just below the tree-line at 790 metres, and just 15 kilometres north of the attractive and convenient town of Gol, in southern Norway’s Buskerud province.  Spring, though, comes late to this high plateau of Golsfjellet and its surrounding peaks, there being a quick and intense blossoming of plants during the long days of early July. Then, abundant flowers attract numerous colourful butterflies and other insects, whilst breeding birds are highly active in their efforts to raise young during so short a season. 

Our aim during this week-long holiday will be to explore and enjoy the region by means of day walks from our hotel. From it, we are able to employ a wide range of well-marked footpaths that give us access to the uninhabited and peaceful places where flowers and other wildlife abound. We will range over open moorlands and around tranquil lakes, wander amongst coniferous and birch woodlands, and ascend alongside icy rivers towards the higher peaks and their rewarding Arctic-alpine meadows. In these magnificent wilderness regions we have the freedom to roam at will in our search for the area’s natural history.  It is a place where lichens abound, advertising the clean air. Some of the interesting flowering plants that we will find do, of course, also occur in northern Britain. There, though, they are rare and difficult to find; here, on the Gol Plateau, they are abundant and grow amongst so many others which are found only at these more northerly latitudes. Saxifrages, in particular, are well represented whilst, in the more open habitats, a wide range of willows may be found, from the dwarf Salix herbacea and S. reticulata to the taller S. myrsinifolia, together with many representatives of the heather family. Bird species are not numerous here, but do include many northern species which are rare in Britain such as Rough-legged Buzzard, Gyrfalcon and a variety of game birds, whilst an appealing selection of woodpeckers breed alongside Fieldfares in the woodland and forest areas. On sunny days we will be able to enjoy the wide variety of butterflies that make the most of a short flying season to dance through the meadows and soak in the sun from sheltered hollows. Numerous amongst them are members of that most confusing but elegant of families, the fritillaries. 

Close to our hotel, we will explore the mixed woodland and bogs, and ascend gently to Syningen, at about 915 metres, and Storefjell, from which far-reaching views extend over many of our week’s target destinations. On another day we will walk through the pine woodland which shelters the Twinflower (Linnaea borealis), named after Linnaeus, whose favourite flower this was. Here we will also hope to see such bird species as Grey-headed Woodpecker and Siberian Jay, before the woods give way to open areas and we continue across streams filled with Marsh Cinquefoil, and down towards Gol to end the day. To the east of Kamben we ascend on pleasing paths, through woodland and open moorland, to the summit of Nystolsfjellet, which rises to over 1,220 metres. The wide-ranging views from the top allow us to scan for soaring birds of prey, or perhaps glimpse a Merlin dashing past. Cloudberry is abundant in the damper areas, and we should see a range of Alchemillas, and may even find the tiny Bog Orchid and Lesser Twayblade. To the north, beyond Tisleifjord, lies the province of Oppland, an attractive area of lakes set amongst rounded hills. Here we will search for Elk, Ptarmigan, Capercaillie, and both Willow and Black Grouse, and also stop en route to view one of Norway’s famous elaborate wooden churches. Also in Oppland is the mountain of Skogshorn (1,615 metres). This is well worth climbing on a clear day (from a start at 820 metres, not sea level!), being the highest peak in the region and therefore offering splendid views over the surrounding mountains and lakes, as well as a fabulous mountain flora. 

Perhaps the most spectacular day of all, however (provided the weather is reasonable), will be our expedition to the famous Flam railway. This uses a range of transport — bus, mountain railway and fjordland boat — to travel through very varied mountain and fjordland scenery, including a visit to the spectacular waterfall at Flam, as well as Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord. A remarkable day in which to combine both montane and coastal plants and birds (including such seabirds as gulls, terns and auks!).
