There is so much to do and see in this beautiful country, and for the environmentally conscious traveller looking for a sustainable way to travel, Norway is the ideal destination. The trip of a lifetime must include one of the most well-known and popular Norwegian fjords – the Geirangerfjord.

A charming village and district with a broad selection of fun and exciting activities, Stryn is a wonderful tourist destination in Norway. Let’s take a look at what this spectacular area has to offer visitors, and what there is to do there!

Nordfjord is situated between the largest mainland glacier in Europe and Norway's wildest coast at the western cape, with spectacular mountains and valleys, rolling farmland, and a dramatic coastline. Loen is a fjord-side village located in the inner part of the Nordfjord region and a very popular destination for Norwegians and tourists alike.

In the western part of Norway, you’ll find the idyllic region of Hardanger. In the summer months, the area is easily identified by fragrant floral blooms and blossoming fruit trees.

Lonely Planet named it the best train journey in the world. Norway's Flåm Railway is a truly unique experience of breathtaking nature and quaint fjord villages. "It's so powerful and dramatic," says Audrey Olson, who experienced the train journey as part of the Sognefjord in a Nutshell tour.
