The Western Fjords
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.
