General presentation

Hardangerfjord

Vergers, waterfalls, glaciers and fjord arms make up a softer region in the heart of the western mountains.

Vøringsfossen, Trolltunga and Folgefonna give the most telling landmarks of Hardangerfjord. Together, they make up a destination where the coastline, mountain reliefs, natural spaces and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

See all

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
