The Norwegian fjords are one of the most beautiful and popular natural wonders of Norway. A fjord is a deep, narrow inlet that is formed by the activity of glaciers as they carve and smooth out dolomite rock, leaving behind a long, narrow inlet. Fjords typically have steep banks and deep waters, often surrounded by mountains or high cliffs. They are considered to be some of the most impressive and unique natural phenomena. There are over 1,000 fjords in Norway, each with its own unique beauty and atmosphere.
In the heart of the Norwegian fjord landscape lies Sognefjord, just a few hours drive from Oslo and Bergen. It is the largest and most famous fjord in Norway, stretching 204 km inland and only 300 meters wide at its narrowest point! Along the fjord you will see high mountain peaks, a blue glacier, mighty waterfalls and idyllic small farms.
The region has many attractions:
One of Norway’s leading attractions, the Flåm Railway is considered one of the most beautiful railway routes in the world and one of Norway’s leading tourist attractions.

Trolltunga is one of the most recognizable places. After all, photographs of this place abound all over the world. Its popularity lies in the fact that Troltunga is a unique rock formation that hangs 700 meters above Lake Ringedalsvatnet in Skjeggedal and juts out at right angles to the mountainside at 1180 meters above sea level. From here you can enjoy stunning fjord scenery and views of the Folgefonna glacier. You can climb Troltunga on a day hike, or you can see it on a helicopter flight from Bergen or surrounding villages.
Geirangerfjord is located in the northern part of the country. Several important natural attractions are located here.
Trollstigen is a spectacular mountain pass that winds its way through eleven hairpin switchbacks up the steep mountain sides of the Romsdalen Valley. A drive along the Trollstigen road reveals a masterpiece of engineering and the mesmerizing views are impressive. Trollstigen is surrounded by colossal mountains such as Bispen, Kongen and Dronninga in the west, and Stigbottshornet and Storgrovfjellet in the east. Driving along this scenic road, you will feel the scale of the Norwegian mountains, feeling like a small speck against the backdrop of this grandeur.
Another popular place is the Seven Sisters waterfall, which is located on the Geirangerfjord. No less than seven waterfalls descend into the fjord. Their average fall height is about 250 meters, and at high water levels they are an impressive sight. The waterfall is more visible during the main snowmelt period of May-July and is best observed by taking a boat trip on Geirangerfjord.
