Exploring Norway’s Deep Blue Fjords

The Fjord Country is a Setting for Fairy Tales

Norway‘s Flåm Valley captures the vision of all this country is imagined to be: steep snow-covered mountains dipping into a deep blue fjord with picturesque villages along the shore.

Our Hiking Norway’s Fjord Country adventure was not only memorable for its very scenic hikes and the iconic wooden buildings of Breggen, but also for the visits and interactions we had with local farmers, cheese makers, boat builders, and a Hardanger fiddler.
