The Fjord Coast
and Sunnfjord
Visit Norway's
westernmost islands
Imagine standing here high above the fjords, where your hike is rewarded with breathtaking views.
Just a two or three-hour drive north of Bergen, mighty forces of nature have shaped the coastal landscape for thousands of years.
Hop on a bike or get behind the wheel to embark on a scenic road trip you'll never forget.
Including the Norwegian Scenic Route Gaularfjell.
Stop at epic viewpoints on the narrow, winding road between the Sognefjord and Jølster...
...and take a break at the Likholefossen waterfall, where you can get close thanks to the bridge that runs across it. Go for a stroll along Fossestien, on the southern side of the river.
Take a guided tour up steep mountains and
gleaming glaciers like Haugabreen.
Take in the views of the enchanting Jølstravatnet lake from Astruptunet, where you can also see unique works by iconic Norwegian artist Nikolai Astrup, who was inspired by these landscapes.
If you head out onto the water, you might be lucky enough to catch a trout or two.
Have a refreshing dip in a waterfall, like this one in Fossedalen, or in a calm and clear fjord, before you head out to the...
...frothy waves that lap the wild west coast...
...where the sea has shaped the local natural wonder Kannesteinen rock, in Måløy.
Discover Refviksanden, a 1.5 kilometre-long sandy beach with crystal clear water.
Glide through narrow straits past islands and skerries while exploring the fjords and coastline in a kayak.
Visit historic attractions like Kinn Church and learn more about the rich local culture.
