When it comes to naming places, Norwegians tend to call them simply by their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extrapolating N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord takes its name from its narrowness: It is 18 kilometres long and sometimes only 250 meters wide. In 2005, N\u00e6royfjord and Geirangerfjord were listed as a UNESCO <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1195\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1195\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Heritage Site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearest settlements are the tiny village of Gudvangen, located on the southern tip of the Fjord, and Bakka, situated on its western shore.

Some parts are steeper than others. The middle part of the trail leads through a valley, where the incline is minimal (pictured below), whereas other parts of the trail climb steeply along rocky slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I carried camping equipment, including my tent and sleeping bag, the hike was reasonable and not too strenuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_best_time_of_year_to_hike_Bakkanosi\"><\/span>4.

You will also have to drive through a long and dark tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A parking area is off the side of the road, right opposite the school. The parking fee is 100 NOK\/day. You can pay with VIPPS (for Norwegian residents only), the equivalent of American Venmo, or deposit cash into a provided box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many other places in Norway, parking operates on an honesty scheme.

It was one of the very few bluebird days I experienced in Norway. Around 1 hour into the day, the sun aligned perfectly with the Fjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The views from the actual summit aren&#8217;t the best. You have to hike around 100 meters further, slightly downhill, to get the perfect view of N\u00e6royfjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take really good care! The other side of the mountain is almost vertical. I have also seen plenty of dangerous cornices at the summit.

The first one takes you on a gravel road to a high alpine pasture with some old farmers&#8217; huts. Sheep often graze this area, so if you hike with a dog like me, keep it leashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You then enter a wild valley, where the road disappears, and you are left to navigate a narrow path. The trail is quite muddy, especially early in the season, but stick to the path to minimise erosion. This is the easiest part of the trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye out for the wild reindeer population roaming in this area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third and last part climbs steadily to the summit. At times, the trail is rocky and shaky underfoot, so make sure to come well-equipped. You don&#8217;t get any views of the Fjord until you get to the summit, but the anticipation will be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_What_to_bring_and_wear_on_the_Bakkanosi_hike\"><\/span>9. <strong>What to bring and wear on the Bakkanosi<\/strong> <strong>hike<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"15053\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-19-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15053\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-19-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-19-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-19-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-19.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"15054\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-30-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15054\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-30-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-30-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-30-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Bakkanosi-Day-Hike-Norway-30.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/710T6PmcwQL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:217px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Black Diamond Trekking Poles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I never leave on a trail without a pair of my trusted Black Diamond Carbon Z Poles.
