BEST FJORDS
Norway's western fjords region - home to Geirangerfjord, as well as Nærøyfjord, Aur-
landsfjorden and the other vertiginous tributaries of the vast Sognefjorden - is one of the
most beautiful places on earth.
ICE-BOUND
Take to the water in a kayak or hike up a mountainside, but the main drawcard here is the
chance to venture onto the glacier tongues of the epic Jostedalsbreen icefield.
STAVE CHURCHES & ART NOUVEAU
Norway's prettiest stave churches - including Stordal, Kaupanger, Borgund and Urnes -
are set against a postcard-perfect backdrop of fjords and mountains. To the northeast, art
nouveau Ålesund is magnificent.

SACRED PATH
Few Norwegian hiking trails resonate so strongly with the sacred. The Pilgrims' Way is an
ancient pilgrimage trail with Trondheim as its goal. The Bymarka wilderness also contains
fine trails.
