Things to do in Sogn og Fjordane, Western Norway: The Best Scenic Drives
Rich in mountains, islands, glaciers, farmlands and fjords, Sogn og Fjordane is best known for Sognefjord, the longest in Norway and the second-longest in the world. One of its arms, Nærøyfjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is the 12th-century Urnes Stave Church near Lustrafjorden, an excellent example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture. Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on mainland Europe, is home to a national park with several museums and visitor centers.

The drive up this valley is absolutely breathtaking! One of the most beautiful drives we have taken in an already stunning country! Beware though, the road is narrow and not everyone understands that everyone needs to give space to each others! Lots of good hiking opportunities are also available through the valley.

We drove through here in late May and typical of Norway the scenery is stunning. Snow covered mountains, partially frozen lakes and postcard perfect panoramic views.

Gaularfjellet is one of the "lesser known" routes in Norway, and after having driven it I have to say O.M.G. - what a drive. Stunning up and downs, viewpoints, mountain views, lakes, valleys - such a variety. I can not recommend this drive enough.

This is just a great hike. There is a 5 minute drive up a toll road. The road climbs steeply but is in good shape. Watch for sheep. It dead ends in the parking area. The road by the way is off the Lovatnet road. The setting for the farm is beautiful with glaciers and waterfalls all around. We hiked for about 45 minutes to get closer to the bodalsbreen glacier and the views just kept getting better. The best thing is that we were the only people there! Highly recommended.
