Norway: A Journey into Breathtaking Landscapes

Traveling in Norway means exploring by rental car for a self-drive tour or guided tour, a long country in northern Europe's west, from Lapland to the capital Oslo, passing through the North Cape and the Trolls Road, discovering a multitude of beautiful natural landmarks. Of course, there are the fjords on the Atlantic coast, so magnificent that two of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord. But going to Norway, whether as a couple or with friends, also means hiking in the summer, when the sun never sets, among forests, mountains, waterfalls, and glaciers in about fifty national parks and returning in winter snowshoeing or skiing to admire the northern lights north of the polar circle. Few and often human-sized, Norwegian cities also know how to charm travelers with rows of brightly colored wooden houses, quality museums like the Munch Museum in Oslo or the Bergen Art Museum (Kunstmuseum), saunas, seafood restaurants to taste the delicious local salmon, and sandy beaches like in Stavanger. You will also discover the famous stave churches, widespread in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages; today only 28 can still be seen in Norway!

Discover the Realm of Nordic Wonders

Ten centuries after launching raids throughout Europe, the descendants of the Vikings now warmly welcome tourists to the kingdom of Norway, a sanctuary where nature reigns peacefully in landscapes illuminated by a gentle light. A journey to Norway will immerse you in wild and spectacular nature. You will discover majestic fjords, imposing mountains, and diverse wildlife, all while experiencing the tranquility and beauty of this Nordic country.

The wonders to discover in Norway

Marvel at the Northern Lights Northern Europe is the closest region to admire, in autumn and winter, these incredible meteorological phenomena that illuminate the polar night. In Norway, as in Finland or Sweden, one must go as far north as possible within the Arctic Circle, to the Lofoten Islands, Tromso, or even the North Cape to have the best chance of seeing them. Bergen, candidate for the title of Europe's most beautiful city The second most populated city in Norway is the most beautiful in the country and one of the prettiest cities in Europe. Nestled in a magnificent setting fringed with numerous fjords, Bergen is an unforgettable port city thanks to its strings of colorful houses lining the famous Bryggen wharf and many streets in the heights. Travel on the Oslo-Bergen train line With the coastal express of the Hurtigruten company that connects all year round the main port cities of the country, the train is another way to admire a maximum of beautiful Norwegian landscapes. The 500 km line between Oslo and Bergen offers a breathtaking journey through nature between pine forests, lakes, and snow-capped peaks.

Unusual Explorations in Norway

Falling in love with the Lofoten Islands means discovering a small piece of Nordic paradise located north of the Arctic Circle. Accessible by cruise ship or car, this archipelago is adorned with rocky peaks, fishermen's houses, and white sandy beaches. In summer, you can enjoy the relative warmth of the Gulf Stream waters under the midnight sun. Traveling to the North Pole in the Svalbard archipelago means venturing between Greenland and the northern tip of Norway, in the middle of the Arctic Sea. More than half of this archipelago is covered with glaciers and mountains, offering an ideal terrain for polar adventures tracing the paths of polar bears, Arctic foxes, and Svalbard reindeer. The Norwegian Sea also offers little-known surfing spots. On the Lofoten archipelago and deep into the fjords at Jaeren, Stad, or on the island of Vågsøy in the west of the country, waves and a sense of adventure are guaranteed.

A stay full of activities in Norway

Hiking, snowmobiling, canoeing-kayaking, dog sledding, skiing, ice skating... A multitude of sports are practiced in Norway, where the population cheerfully alternates between winter and summer sports. For the visiting traveler, each season will be an opportunity to engage in a particular activity. Why not try Telemark skiing, curling, or even dog sled racing? In summer, one can enjoy the pleasures of hiking or sailing in the majestic fjords. Unique!

Sliding Sports in Norway

For indulging in the joys of sliding, whether it's skiing, snowmobiling, or sledding, Norway is the dream country! But above all, Norway is the chosen land for cross-country skiing, which attracts enthusiasts of this sport every year. Here, this discipline is almost like a declaration of faith. The proof is the official existence of the ski day, the skidag. During this day, children learn the techniques of this sport from their parents or professionals. Alpine skiing, ski jumping (a traditional sport!), and Telemark skiing (originating from Norway) are also popular. Needless to say, Norwegians will be excellent teachers if you feel like sliding yourself!
