Norway – Fjords – North Atlantic Highway - Part 1
/Norway – Fjords – North Atlantic Highway - Part 1
We have made the trip to Norway twice in the past year. Both times to see the fascinating waterfalls and landscape of the western Fjords. There are two things you should know about Norway. The conditions can change at any moment and that chances are year round you will encounter snow.
The first trip to Norway was in the end of April, over the Easter Break. There was a TON of snow in the region and people were still skiing up in the area where we stayed. Many of the hiking routes were closed and too dangerous to access. One thing I learned on this trip is that I clearly needed to do more research before heading to Norway. As a city break girl, I had underestimated the seasonal aspect of the region.
This was clear when I found that the ferries I had wanted to take were “seasonal,” which is from May 1st to August 31st in most regions in Norway. I share this because the things I wish I would have known, could have allowed us to maximize our 4 day trip. The main attractions were the city of Alesund, North Atlantic Highway, Geiranger Fjord, and the island of Runde.
