Holiday in Norwegian Fjords

About Norwegian Fjords

The Norwegian fjords are among the most spectacular natural landscapes in Europe and have been repeatedly awarded by National Geographic as the best travel destination in the world. These sea arms, shaped by glaciers, cut up to 200 kilometers deep into the Norwegian coast and are framed by steep rock walls rising up to 1,500 meters, where waterfalls plunge into the depths. The Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord are UNESCO World Heritage sites and Norway's most famous fjords. The Geirangerfjord impresses with the Seven Sisters, a series of waterfalls that drop over 300 meters, while the narrow Nærøyfjord, only 250 meters wide, unfolds an almost claustrophobic intensity. The Sognefjord, at 204 kilometers long and 1,308 meters deep, is the largest fjord in Norway and offers particularly diverse experiences. The viewpoint Preikestolen (Trolltunga is the more adventurous alternative) rises 604 meters above the Lysefjord and offers one of the most dramatic viewpoints in Europe. The Hurtigruten coastal postal route is one of the most beautiful sea voyages in the world. Hiking, kayaking, and the Flåm Railway, one of the steepest railways in the world, open up the fjord landscape. May to September offers the longest days and the best weather.
