There are also long fjords with turquoise bathing water which is surrounded by the greenest vegetation, several thousand year old glaciers and a beautiful coastal landscape with small and large islands.
The varied and elongated landscape invites to some fantastic wow moments that just have to be experienced. And when you take the boat to Oslo, you get the best combination of Norway - first vibrant city life, and then out on magical adventures in what can be experienced as a completely different world!

Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind, Norway's and Northern Europe's highest and second highest mountains, are located in the mountain area Jotunheimen. Although the mountains are high, they are not inaccessible and the tours are also suitable for children who are used to hiking in the mountains.
