Sognefjord - The world's longest fjord adventureNorway’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. The Sognefjord region, where this emerald green fjord meets the largest glacier and highest mountains in Norway, is considered one of the world's most beautiful travel destinations. The Sognefjord area includes the municipalities of Aurland, Balestrand, Leikanger, Luster, Lærdal, Sogndal, Vik and Årdal.  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. |
