DESTINATION Norway

Norway attracts a wide spectrum of visitors. The sixth largest country in Europe captivates us all with its varied nature and spectacular scenery.

Each season in Norway has its own unique charm and invites you to enjoy a wide range of natural and cultural experiences. Large areas of the country morph into a pleasant orange-red countryside in the autumn, beckoning you to wander and feel the wind in your face. The Norwegian winter also offers plentiful natural adventures – in particular, the best chance to see the phenomena of northern lights. In spring, the fruit trees along the fjords are in full bloom and the radiant colours return. Norway is a hiker’s paradise with its mountains, fjords and countless groups of islands.

As much as the Norwegian nature amazes, so do the people that inhabit it. Their interesting history and centuries-long influence on how the western world was shaped are the source of captivating stories that can be experienced everywhere, but especially in the many charming towns and cities.

FJORDS

Norway is perhaps most associated with its breathtaking fjords. Nothing can compare to the sight of its imposing mountains drizzled with thundering waterfalls encircling its pristine waterways. This contrast of raw power and natural beauty harmoniously intertwined is a spectacle to behold.

A boat cruise on the fantastic Sognefjord or a rail trip with the famous Flåmsbana will let you discover the magnificent variations of the Norwegian fjord landscape for yourself. Climbing the legendary rock formation Preikestolen and driving along such breathtaking roads as Trollstigen or the Atlantic Road (Atlanterhavsveien) are bucket-list experiences for most visitors.

LOFOTEN & VESTERÅLEN

Venture out to the spectacular island groups of Lofoten and Vesterålen along winding roadways and breathtaking bridges or perhaps on board one of the popular Hurtigruten ships. Here white sandy beaches lining azure blue waters await you, all surrounded by awe-inspiring fjells. This idyllic scenery dotted with romantic fishing villages invites you to take in the peace and quiet of nature. A morning walk on the Oversøykammen is an unforgettable experience. When you arrive at its summit, a breathtaking panorama of the beautiful surroundings is your reward. In the afternoon, let your body restore on the dream beach of Haukland.

NORTH CAPE

For many Scandinavia enthusiasts, it is a momentous occasion when they can stand on the North Cape and look down on the Arctic Ocean. From the plateau, which rises about 307 meters out of the sea, you have unparalleled views if you are lucky with the weather. It is particularly special to visit the North Cape in summer, when you can witness the legendary midnight sun never dipping below the horizon. Equally memorable is the sight of twinkling green northern lights forming the backdrop for the famous globe-sculpture, the iconic symbol of the North Cape.

NORWEGIAN LAPLAND

Tromsø is the largest town in northern Norway and an appealing destination in Norwegian Lappland. At this “Gateway to the Arctic,” as the city is called, nature and culture are closely connected. Tromsø is an excellent base for winter holidays and offers a large selection of wintertime activities, such as dog sledding, snowshoe hikes, reindeer sleigh rides and northern lights safaris.

SPITZBERGEN

Never-ending ice, crystal clear air, stillness: all adventurers who dare to pass the so-called “end of the world,” the magical border of the North Cape, expect to encounter these things. Svalbard – as Spitzbergen is called in Norwegian – means “cool coast,” a very fitting name, as more than half the area of Svalbard is covered by ice the whole year round. However, the German name, ‘Spitzbergen,’ also says a lot – literally translated to 'great mountains.' The world of the Artic is a paradise for fans of mountain hikes, adventurous nature lovers and real animal lovers. An average temperature of -7◦C offers optimal living conditions for arctic foxes, reindeer and of course, polar bears.
