Hardangerfjord

Hardangerfjord stretches for nearly 180 km, extending from the Atlantic coast south of Bergen deep into the inland hinterland. Unlike many stark fjords, the climate here is mild, and apple and cherry orchards stretch across the hillsides on both banks. During certain seasons, the blooming flowers on the mountains contrast with the remaining snow on the peaks, creating a unique natural view. The views along the fjord are rich and diverse, featuring not only magnificent cascading waterfalls but also numerous waterscapes where visitors can walk through or view from a distance. The surrounding cantilevered viewing platforms and cross-sea bridges provide visitors with expansive vistas. When driving across the bridges or touring by boat, the magnificent scenery of the mountains and waters intertwined on both banks is fully visible. There are many scenic parking spots and trails along the route. Self-drive tours, boat cruises, or kayaking are all common ways to explore. The rich glacier and mountain resources also provide diverse exploration options for outdoor enthusiasts, bringing an unforgettable fjord nature experience to visitors who have traveled from afar.

This ski area built on a glacier has become one of the few destinations where skiing fun can continue in the summer due to its high altitude geographical advantage.

Fishmarket in Bergen

Fishmarket in Bergen is located on the wharf in the center of Bergen, facing the old town of Bryggen across the harbor. It has long been a trading hub for fishermen, farmers, and citizens. In the past, fishermen from outside the city would row small boats into town to sell their daily catch and row back home the same day. The stalls are stacked with king crab, fresh shrimp, cod, and fresh salmon. You can also find rare ingredients like sea urchin and whale meat. Many stalls allow you to taste before you buy or have food prepared on the spot; boiled shrimp and smoked salmon sandwiches are common ways to enjoy it. The fish market consists of two parts: an open-air stall area by the water and an indoor food hall. The open-air area is open in summer. In addition to seafood stalls, there are also stalls selling fruits, berries, vegetables, and flowers, as well as souvenir shops. After exploring, you can walk to the opposite side to continue your tour of Bryggen.
