The Sognefjord is the longest fjord in Norway. It is 200 km / 130 mi long and 1,300 m / 4,300 ft deep. Nærøyfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, is particularly noted for its unspoiled nature and dramatic scenery, and is only 300 m (1,000 ft) across at its narrowest point. The Nærøyfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Trolltunga (The Troll's Tongue) is a narrow rock that struts horizontally out from a cliff 700m above the Ringedalsvatnet lake below. The full Trolltunga hike takes up to 10 hours return, and is only recommended for experienced hikers.

Ålesund is one of Norway´s most beautiful cities. The houses are clinging to rocks and reefs, from here it is short distance both to the sea and into the fjords and the mountains.

Many visitors fall in love with Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, at first sight. Seven rounded lush mountains, pastel wood houses, the historic wharf, winding cobblestone streets, and Hanseatic relics all make it a place of enchantment.

The Geirangerfjord is like a fairytale. It is unique and exceptionally beautiful. The Geirangerfjord is located in the southwestern part of the county of Møre og Romsdal, north in Fjord Norway.

Lofoten archipelago is known for a distinctive scenery with mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. The islands spread their tall, craggy physique against the sky like some spiky sea dragon and you wonder how humans eked a living in such inhospitable surroundings.

The feeling of the silent glide on the water in beautiful and untouched nature is fantastic.
