Padleled Vestfold og Telemark

Padleled Vestfold og Telemark is Norway's first continuous paddling trail. The complete trail consists of 1,428 kilometres of graded paddling routes, with suggested trips for different skill levels.

Along the Vestfold coast, you can choose from 91 suggested trips stretching from Svelvik in the north to Helgeroa in the south. The routes are graded by difficulty, and the trip descriptions include maps and practical information about parking, fresh water and toilet facilities. The Vestfold routes are also available on UT.no.

Several simple paddling shelters, known as padlehuker, are located along the trail and provide places to stop for a break or stay overnight. In Vestfold, you will find them in Holmestrand, Færder, Tønsberg, Sandefjord and Larvik. The shelters are open to everyone and cannot be reserved.

If you would like to learn kayaking or become more confident on the water, courses and guided trips are available in Vestfold. Kajakkpadling.no offers introductory, basic and technique courses as well as guided trips throughout the year.
