‘Big contrasts and small distances’ is a phrase you’ll hear often in Western Norway; with a massive diversity of terrains, it’s possible to pack a lot into your trip.
Nestled in the ‘Seven Mountains’ range on the Atlantic coast, the cultural city of Bergen offers the opportunity to combine sea kayaking and mountain biking, with fjord safaris and hiking. Summer temperatures average around 14C, so it’s great for walking with a pack.
Further inland is the town of Eidford and the Hardangervidda National Park (Hardanger district), a magnet for kayaking and salmon fishing, as well as glacier trekking and climbing.
Seventy eight degrees north, in the Svalbard archipelago, the island of Spitsbergen is an arctic wonderland of dramatic mountains, calving glaciers and frozen landscapes. From Longyearbyen sail north into Isfjord, through drift ice and past basking seals, and into the remote land of the polar bear and arctic fox. Prepare to be flexible, as the fickle weather here tends to dictate the schedule.
