Fjords in Norway

Norway is famous for its outstanding natural beauty, particularly its spectacular fjords.  Geirangerfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a place of outstanding beauty that needs to be preserved. Located in western Norway, you can see waterfalls, fish, raft and ride around the fifteen kilometre long fjord.

Alternatively, visit Nordfjord, one hundred and ten kilometres long, and spanning from the glaciers to the ocean. Try your hand at summer skiing, or trek to the historical Selje Monastery. There is such a lot to do here, and if you love the outdoors you will not fail to be enthralled. Try driving the coast road on the west of Norway to see the soft beaches and lush skerries. Over the water you can relax on the small islands and stay at the communities, but as you drive along you will always hear the roar of the waves at the coastline.

A fjord is a waterway that is created when a glacier cuts a valley into the surrounding rock. Many were formed in the ice age, and now offer exquisite beauty. Most are deeper than the sea they are adjacent to, and many of the fjords have coral reefs at the bottom, by their banks. When at the fjords, enjoy the expansive silence of the mountains, and in places, the thundering of the waterfalls. They are places of inimitable beauty, and are not to be missed from your travels. Flights service Norway from London on a regular basis. What are you waiting for? Grab your passport and Travel Insurance and fly!!
