The Norwegian Fjords
Western Norway is known for its wild, beautiful and untouched nature. Fjords, mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and rivers attract people who seek adventure in all year round. Fresh air, clean running water, silence. Hiking, skiing, surfing, speed and excitement.
In 2005, the Norwegian fjords, represented by the Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord, were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The landscape is considered one of the most scenic fjord areas on the planet. It was inscribed on the list because of its unique natural quality and beauty.
Norway has a total of eight areas on the UNESCO World Heritage List in addition to the traditional Norwegian pasture farming which was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage List in 2024.
A visit in the off-season offers better opportunities for sustainable tourism, resulting in fewer tourists in the summer and more year-round jobs for the local community.
Spring entices with blooming orchards, green mountainsides, and mirror-calm fjords; summer with sunny days and lively fjord villages; autumn with its magical display of colours; and winter with peaceful, snow-covered landscapes. Each season has its own unique character, and every journey offers memories for a lifetime.
