Norway is possibly the most beautiful country on the planet. It is a land full of towering mountains encasing deep fjords. The rivers of water at the bottom of these steep valleys meander for miles towards the sea and are an essential part of Norway. There is a simple yet awe inspiring beauty in cruising along these fjords while massive rocks formations tower overhead.

No visit to Norway is complete without experiencing these fjords and a variety of other delights along the coastline. Some of the best sights should be seen via boat and there are several boat cruises to choose from: The Alesund to Geiranger Fjord The fjord from Alesund to Geiranger is approximately 100km long. The first part of this section of Norway is full of lively, bustling villages. The gorgeous side of the magnificent fjord used to be home to the centre for seal hunting in the arctic. Just a little further along this beautiful river are the villages of Sykkylven and Ekornes which manufacturing furniture for places all over the world. The fjord continues away from this populated area and travels through several mountains. There are still signs of life here and a few people still live in the farmhouses built many years ago. Houses which are hard for even the fittest people to get to! The river finally reaches Geiranger and you are greeted by an idyllic location. There is also a modern adventure and experience centre. Trollfjord The Trollfjord fjord is just 2km long and at points just 100 metres wide. On one side you have Trolltindan whose peak rises 1,084 metres above sea level. This mountain has such sheer sides and there are frequent rock falls. It is also possible to visit the Trollfjordvatnet, a large lake 162 metres above sea level which still has chunks of ice visible in it even in the summer. Read more...www.aipresorts.com
