Sognefjord - The world's longest fjord adventureNorway’s longest fjord, the Sognefjord, lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjord country and extends more than 200 km (120 miles) inland. The region where this deep fjord meets the glaciers and Norway’s highest mountains is considered one of the world's most beautiful travel destinations.  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!
 Explore the region where the rivers never run dry. Whether you travel by boat, train, car or on foot you can see waterfalls cascading down steep mountains. You can also enjoy fishing in wild rivers or deep, calm mountain lakes.
 The Jotunheimen National Park and the mountains surrounding the fjord are perfect for short walks, mountain hikes, climbing and skiing, and the trails will lead you further, deeper and higher into Sognefjord's most fascinating places.
