During spring the waterfalls are large, fruit trees in blossom, mountaintops still white with frost and the air is crispy clear.

Summertime in the fjord brings a variation of experiences, as the cruise in UNESCO World Heritage Nærøyfjord, visit the stave churches and let the guides give a hike on the Jostedalsglacier.

In Autumn the Sognefjord is covered with all the strong colours, red and yellow in the mountainarea, and later by the fjords.This is the best time for hiking the mountains, and go berry picking.

The Winterfjord gives you fjordexperiences, the magical blueicecaves under the glacier, off-piste skiing, fjordlight, snowshoe tours, alpineresorts and guided tours to the steep mountains.
