We spent an amazing day with Jonas on a private tour through Thorsmork. He was extremely knowledgeable in the history of this region. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. The beauty of Thorsmork is jaw dropping! We never could have reached this area on our own. An avalanche had recently been through this area, so the terrain was very different then what was expected. Jonas moved rocks to help create pathways across waterways. Truly an amazing day we will never forget! Thank you Jonas!
