What is the itinerary?

The official agenda and schedule is available to all attendees, however, most of the current attendees have already told us they don’t want to know the full schedule to keep things as a surprise.  So, we are offering the full schedule to anyone who requests it so that you can plan, prepare, etc, but we are not putting it on the website so that we don’t ruin many of the incredible surprises we have in store for you.

What is included in “The Viking Initiation | Norway” ticket?

What do I bring?

You’ll want to bring an array of items, but know that less is more, and there will also be some unique clothing options provided upon arrival ;)

• Adapters: Norway uses the Standard Euro plug socket with two round prongs so you can use adapter types “C” or “F” (often labeled as a Northern Europe adapter). Make sure to check the voltage labels on your appliances or chargers to see if you need to use just an adapter or a converter/transformer with an adapter.

• Change of clothes for 8 days + travel days, including the following at least:

• 2 pairs of hiking pants made of waterproof flexible durable fabric + belt

• 2 Flannel shirts or durable hiking shirts

• Waterproof warm jacket

• 2 dri-fit undershirts (men)

• 1 long sleeve shirt (layers are always ideal for being outdoors)

• Bathing suit (for cold plunge and sauna)

• Comfortable shorts (or get hiking pants that zip off at the knees and can double as shorts)

• Sweatpants

• Hiking Boots (comfortable- make sure to break them in ahead of time), not to be confused with sneakers or tennis shoes, you’ll want good hiking boots with excellent traction. 

• Small Day Backpack for short day trips

• Reusable water bottle

• Other items to bring: sunglasses, toiletries (hotel has basics covered)

• Optional: Waterproof shoes/sandals or flip flops
