Sognefjorden near Vik - Sogn og Fjordane

The region of Sogn og Fjordane is a great place with wonderful landscapes and full of history.
Here you can admire the world?s longest fjord, the Sognefjord, lies in the heart of the Norwegian fjord country and extends more than 200 km inland. The region where this deep fjord meets the glaciers and Norway?s highest mountains is considered one of the world's most beautiful travel destinations.
Fantastic is the town of fjerland where you can walk over a glacier and to sleep in a fantastic place!!!

Supphellebreen Glacier

The Sognefjord has several distinctive fjord arms winding their way between steep mountains to end in small, picturesque villages. One of the most spectacular branches of the Sognefjord is the world-famous Noreyfjord, which has now been included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. There are also several places in the Sognefjord region where you can see majestic waterfalls cascading down steep mountainsides, and some of these waterfalls are among Norway's highest.
In Sogn og Fjordane you can see some fantastic stave churches: they are Norway's foremost contribution to the world's cultural heritage, a fact confirmed by the inclusion of Urnes Stave Church on UNESCO's World Heritage List. These churches take their names from the distinctive building technique using vertical staves. There are only 28 stave churches left in all of Norway. Five of the oldest are in the Sognefjord region, and all of them date back to the 12th century.

Sogn ag Fjordane is probably one of the most beautiful place of all Norway.

Davvero una zona incantevole. Alcune foto mi ricordano le Isole Aran, in Irlanda, che ti piacerebbero senz'altro. Ottima pagina.
