Four hours southeast of Bergen, you'll find the most scenic cliff in Norway: Trolltunga. Steep as can be, this hike is only for the brave and determined!
A glacier behind, a fjord in front, and between them this 19th-century guesthouse in Sundal on Norway's quiet western edge, restored by owners Caroline and Harald with real soul. Eleven gingham-filled rooms (most with shared baths), a communal kitchen serving seasonal four-course dinners, a sauna by the water, and Frøya the fluffy dog, who seems to know every guest by name. Deeply charming and unhurried.
One of American artist James Turrell’s unique installations, Hardanger Skyspace is a captivating play between light, space and movement. At sunrise or sunset, the space is bathed in polychromatic light that changes your perception of the sky.
Long but worth it, this 11-kilometre hiking trail begins at Oygardstolen and ends at the highest point on the Lysefjord. Adrenaline junkies thrive in Kjerag: you're almost tempted to jump off the cliff that holds the rock in place!
If you want to enjoy lunch with a view, Fløirerestauranten should be your first port of call. If their jaw-dropping views weren't enough, their seasonal dishes made from ingredients sourced from the surrounding mountains and fjords will do the trick. We recommend their extraordinary toast skagen.
