Norwegian Fjords

Norway

Best for: Mountains, Sea, Solitude, Nature Only, Chill, Mild, Coast, Peaceful, Cool, Four Seasons, Inspiring, Sailing, Hiking

Steep cliffs, deep water, and quiet villages along the coast. The fjords are nature at its most dramatic—cruises, kayaks, and hikes put you right in the middle of it.

Geiranger and Nærøyfjord are UNESCO sites; Bergen is the gateway. Hurtigruten does the coastal run; summer brings midnight sun. Layer up—even in summer the water and wind are cool.
