| Supplying your tourist needs in the Fjord regions of Norway |
|
Fjord Travel concentrates on the fjord regions of Norway - including Stavanger, Bergen, Flam, Alesund, Trondheim and the great fjords - like Hardanger, Sogne, Geiranger and Lysefjord, with highlights such as Pulpit rock |
Western Norway has many great fjords, on a truly grand scale. Boat is often the only way in
to the small communities during the winter. Lysefjord with
Pulpit Rock
and Kjerag is most
southerly, close to
Stavanger.
Hardangerfjord between Stavanger and Bergen combines glaciers
and fruit orchards, with Odda being about 170 km from the sea. Sognefjord is north of
Bergen and
is the longest fjord, at over 200 km, with Flam at one of the arms of the Fjord, part of the
famous "Norway in a Nutshell" round trip by boat, train and road. 
Norway has been rated by the UN as the best country in the world to live, and National Geographic magazine recently rated the norwegian fjords in top place globally for "Destination Stewardship". Come and find out why. 
Bergen's Bryggen area of old wooden seahouses has been renovated over many years and is now a UNESCO world heritage site. Statraad Lehmkuhl is the square-rigged tall ship that has Bergen as its home port. |
