It is impossible to tire of Norway’s magical landscapes, the grandeur of which is at once awe-inspiring and humbling, from rugged wildernesses to serene fjords, and from the enthralling cities of Oslo and Bergen, to starkly beautiful Arctic islands illuminated in summer by the Midnight Sun and in winter by the Northern Lights.
This is a country for enjoying the great outdoors, with rewarding walking and other activities in summer, and first-rate cross-country skiing in winter for both couples and families. Such impressive landscapes also provide a splendid backdrop for touring holidays; we offer some great train journeys in Norway, as well as holidays featuring sections of the famous Hurtigruten voyage along the rugged, fjord-indented coastline.
Tromsø is renowned for offering some of the best opportunities to witness the ethereal magic of the Northern Lights, especially in winter. These shimmering ribbons of light dance across the inky-blue Arctic sky, glinting with far-off stars and framed by the silent, snow-covered peaks on the horizon — a truly unforgettable experience beneath the aurora borealis.
Frozen waterfalls tumble down sheer rock faces, rugged peaks pierce the icy sky, and the mountain ravines through which you travel on this breathtaking journey from Oslo to Bergen both impress and humble with their otherworldly, stark beauty. Experience the drama and stillness of Norway’s winter landscapes in comfort and style.
Tranquil Arctic islands which rise dramatically from the icy waters, rushing waterfalls and serene fjords, open fells and silent forests… Norway’s landscapes are truly magnificent, and are linked by impressively engineered railways and thrilling boat journeys. The accommodation, too, is really rather special – restored fishermen’s cottages, high-quality fjordside hotels, and cosy mountain retreats.
Bathed in the surreal light of the Midnight Sun, the Lofoten Islands’ turquoise waters and golden sands defy the typical image of the Arctic Circle. Open moorland, mountain lakes, and striking shorelines create unparalleled scenery for walking — and for spotting local wildlife such as sea eagles and puffins.
With long daylight hours, early summer is the perfect time to explore Norway’s Land of the Waterfalls. Wide, forested valleys and high mountain plateaus burst into life as melting snow feeds into tumbling rivers and waterfalls. The peaceful, uncrowded trails weave through serene farmlands, offering a choice between stunning high routes and gentle lower-level paths along the fjord.
