How to be well prepared

We have guidebooks for many of our trails and knowledge of temporary adjustments and changes to the path and the places of accommodation. – All it takes to make you well prepared!
Pilgrim mass, a service with Eucharist
Welcome to a Pilgrim Mass in the beautiful chapel at Bispegården, where the Pilgrim Centre is located. The chapel is from the 13th century and is a remnant of the old St Olav's Monastery.
The service begins at 9.15 am and takes 15 minutes. This is a good way for contemplation before you start your pilgrim walk. The services are in English.
Two new guidebooks in English! Gudbrandsdalsleden: Oslo - Trondheim.
Two new guidebooks about Gudbrandsdalsleden have been published. The hiking book is written by Ria Warmerdam and the cycling book by Gea Van Veen.
They cost NOK 320 each (€28).
Borrow a Hammock!
The pilgrim centers in Oslo, Hamar and Granavollen are working together on a hammock project. Now you can pick up a hammock (with canopy and mosquito net) at the Pilgrim center in Oslo and deliver it at the Pilgrim center in Hamar or at the Pilgrim center in Granavollen. The offer is free!
Thanks to Akershus County Municipality for their contribution to the project!
Blessing of Pilgrims
At the Pilgrim Centre of Oslo you can also, independently of your confessional or religious belonging, receive the pilgrim's blessing. Experience how it is to be sent off on your pilgrimage the same way medieval pilgrims started their pilgrimage, with a blessing. Every pilgrim receiving the blessing also receives a blue or green ribbon to help you remember the blessing you have received. – When at the pilgrim centre, remember to ask if the pilgrim priest is available to give you the blessing!
Do a Pilgrim Walk in Solidarity for Ukraine!
531 km - that's the length of the Camino Ukraine de Santiago. This pilgrim route starts in Kyiv and goes to Lviv and further on to Santiago de Compostela. You are invited to do a pilgrim walk from Kyiv to Lviv, not in Ukraine, but where you live. Walk a stage or more locally in solidarity with Ukraine!
