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 Sognefjord you will find many of Norway's major attractions, such as three well known national parks, two UNESCO sites, national scenic routes, national information centres and more.
Situated on the border between Eastern and Western Norway, with a combination of coastal and continental climate, the inner reaches of the Sognefjord enjoy a very good climate with relatively mild winters and little rain in the summer.
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.
