No. 20 of Best Things to Do in Norway

Trolltunga

Trolltunga is a massive rock formation deep in the mountains, meaning "troll's tongue" in Norwegian. It juts out horizontally from a steep cliff, resembling a tongue extending into the air, suspended high above and overlooking the long, narrow lake and mountains below. Standing on the edge of the rock, you can take in the view of the lake and mountains. It is a place where thrill and expansive views coexist, making it a highly recognizable hiking landmark. Reaching this rock formation is a challenging outdoor experience. The hiking route is long, with diverse terrain along the way. After crossing the mountain pass, you enter an alpine wilderness of interconnected meadows and lakes, with rustic trails connecting the vast plateau landscape. The tip of the rock is not large. Standing in a safe area to overlook the scenery offers a unique visual impact. This route is strenuous, and the mountain environment is variable. There are also via ferrata climbing routes in the mountains, allowing you to choose different ways to climb the cliff, providing outdoor enthusiasts with space for challenge and exploration.

No. 5 of Best Things to Do in Norway

Hardangerfjord

Hardangerfjord stretches for nearly 180 km, extending from the Atlantic coast south of Bergen deep into the inland hinterland. Unlike many stark fjords, the climate here is mild, and apple and cherry orchards stretch across the hillsides on both banks. During certain seasons, the blooming flowers on the mountains contrast with the remaining snow on the peaks, creating a unique natural view. The views along the fjord are rich and diverse, featuring not only magnificent cascading waterfalls but also numerous waterscapes where visitors can walk through or view from a distance. The surrounding cantilevered viewing platforms and cross-sea bridges provide visitors with expansive vistas. When driving across the bridges or touring by boat, the magnificent scenery of the mountains and waters intertwined on both banks is fully visible. There are many scenic parking spots and trails along the route. Self-drive tours, boat cruises, or kayaking are all common ways to explore. The rich glacier and mountain resources also provide diverse exploration options for outdoor enthusiasts, bringing an unforgettable fjord nature experience to visitors who have traveled from afar.

No. 1 of Ski Resorts in Vestland

FONNA Glacier Ski Resort

In the Jørdal region of Westerland County, Norway, FONNA Glacier Ski Resort offers travelers who are looking for a unique snow and ice experience the possibility of breaking through seasonal restrictions. This ski area built on a glacier has become one of the few destinations where skiing fun can continue in the summer due to its high altitude geographical advantage. The silvery white ice field forms a strong visual contrast with the surrounding rugged mountains. The cable car can enjoy the unique cold landforms of the fjord region as it climbs. Not only does it retain stable snow trails for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, but it also has professional glacier hiking routes. Experienced guides lead tourists through blue ice cracks and moraine landforms. The Folgefon Glacier Exploration Tour is especially suitable for those who want to deeply experience the polar environment. As an ice and snow sports field open all year round, when most ski resorts in the northern hemisphere enter the rest period, FONNA Glacier Ski Resort still echoes the rustling sound of snowboards sliding across ice crystals, creating a unique summer ice and snow scene.
