Europe

Norway is unique in more ways than one: for a start, it’s the northernmost country in Europe, with the smallest density in the continent. It also holds number one place in the world in Human Development Index.Norway’s not just a country boasting the highest quality of life, though, it’s also one that’s fantastic to travel! A trip to Norway is like entering the home of Mother Nature herself. Sea and mountain have joined forces to form sublime landscapes:Natural Parks, lakes, glaciers, forests, and stunning fjords. Norway is a country whose scenery changes with the seasons:in summer, prepare for days that go on forever, and a glowing sun that shines even at midnight… In winter, Nature puts on its white jacket and the snow sports begin. It’s also the season during which the Northern Lights are at their most spectacular. Frankly, this ethereal phenomenon alone is worth making the trip! Conveniently, Norway is also&nbsp;an ideal destination for a family trip: what child wouldn’t want to take a visit to the homeland of Father Christmas?

I preferred the north bank of the fjord. After a stay in the resort of Balestrand I took a boat up Nærøyfjord. It's the best known arm of Sognefjord. It gives you an impressive view of the majestic waterfalls coming off the mountains. The scenery around the foot of the glacier was magnificent. It's the biggest glacier in Europe. It plunges into the fjord and is permanently growing. With a guide it makes an <a href="/norway/">exceptional outing </a>. I wasn't tempted but it is also possible to ski in summer. Exploring Sognefjord is an unforgettable experience. You can also visit it by train if you take the famous Flam Line.
