“The tour was well managed by Salome who explained about the trip perfectly. We had plenty of time in each of the stops. The viewpoint was stunning. The snowy road part was amazing and we walked to a snowy area with a lovely lake and waterfall. Then we visited a pretty town with old wooded houses. Then returned after a visit to an old stave church. Great trip. I recommend the trip and especially the guide Salome.”
