Mount Fløyen (Fløyfjellet**)**towers 1,310 feet (399 meters) over Bergen and offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscape from its summit. A popular hiking destination, the mountain features a funicular railway and a network of scenic walking and biking trails that run throughout the area.
Norway’s second-longest fjord, Hardangerfjord stretches nearly 124 miles (200 kilometers) inland from the Atlantic. Highlights include a massive glacier covering more than 77 square miles (200 square kilometers) and Troll’s Tongue (Trolltunga) rock, hanging 2,300 feet (701 meters) above Ringedalsvatnet Lake in Odda.
There is nowhere quite like the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway. Often referred to as “the King of the Fjords,” the site features 3,200-foot (1,000-meter) cliffs that tumble into ice-blue waters, and tiny villages that scrape by in the earthen handholds. Here, lucky visitors get to travel by water, where they can jump between historic stave churches, navigate glaciers, ride one of the world’s most dramatic railways, and simply take in the 360-degree views.
Winding its way through lush river gorges, climbing steep peaks, and passing dramatic waterfalls, the FlåmRailway (Flamsbana) is one of Europe’s most spectacular train journeys. Running 12.5 miles (20 kilometers) between the Norwegian towns of Flåm and Myrdal, the train is among Norway’s most popular tourist attractions, offering incredible views over the UNESCO World Heritage-listed fjords.
