Norway
Made for adventure
The wild mountains and dramatic coastline of Norway play host to unforgettable adventures.
Carved over 2.5 million years by great glaciers, an intricate network of over 1000 fjords and nearly a quarter of a million islands give Norway the second longest coastline on earth. This has also shaped a proud seafaring culture with a deep connection to the land.
In the summer, look forward to near-endless days of exploration, whether by boat, kayak, mountain bike or on foot, with breathtaking views and welcoming people. In the winter months, relax after skiing and dogsledding as the aurora borealis dance above the water and snow-blanketed forests.
Oslo, where most journeys begin, is an eclectic mix of old and new, with excellent museums and a rich nightlife. Up the coast, find beautiful towns and fishing villages like Art Nouveau Alesund and the red timber houses of the Lofoten Islands, making use of any flat land between the peaks. Halfway between the mainland and the North Pole, the Svalbard archipelago’s tundra and icy waters are home to polar bears, walruses, whales and more.
