Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord, lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjord country called Fjord Norway and extends more than 200 km inland to the national parks of Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen.

In the Jostedalsbreen National Park, where glacier arms stretch down into green valleys, you can view the largest glacier in mainland Europe at close range, and join experienced guides on thrilling walks on the blue glacier ice.
Unique museums, art galleries, heritage sites and stave churches can be enjoyed throughout the region. Urnes Stave Church in Luster is the oldest in Norway and features on the World Heritage List. Experience true Norwegian culture first hand!
