Norwegian fjords | Rugged mountains, still waters and breathtaking views
Some places you see, others you feel. The Norwegian fjords belong to that second kind. Steep rock walls plunge into the water, waterfalls tumble hundreds of metres down, and it is so quiet you can hear your own thoughts. It is no coincidence that the fjords rank number 1 on Belgian students' UNESCO bucket list. They are the ultimate mix of calm, adventure and nature on an XXL scale.
The fjords attract students because they offer more than a beautiful photo. You sail through the Geirangerfjord and the Nærøyfjord, both on the UNESCO World Heritage list. You climb to iconic viewpoints such as Preikestolen and Trolltunga, or ride the spectacular Flåmsbana, one of the steepest train rides in the world. In the evening you wind down in a wooden cabin by the water, or explore the colourful harbour town of Bergen.
The fjords stand out for their variety. You can hike, kayak, wild camp and swim in ice-cold, crystal-clear water. In summer it stays light until late, and in winter you may be lucky enough to see the northern lights. It feels pure, rugged and real, and that makes it more than a trip: it becomes an experience.
The fjords are also perfect to share. You share a hike with friends, a boat trip with other travellers or a campfire under a starry sky. Looking for a trip where you go offline for a while and still come back with a head full of stories? Then you are in the right place.
Why do students choose the Norwegian fjords?
- Impressive nature, UNESCO World Heritage and views you will not find anywhere else.
- The fjords combine calm, active adventure and time with friends in one destination.
