Set sail on the king of the fjords and plunge into the mythical Fjaerland valley, between the slopes of the biggest glacier in Europe. Then change your perspective: on land, allow yourself to be surprised by landscapes that are thousands of years old, and get ready to visit a unique place, the glacier museum.

The programme

Fjords are branches of sea water creeping into ancient glacial valleys, but knowing this won't stop you from being amazed when you set eyes on them.
Set sail for Hella and cross the Sognefjorden, or “king of the fjords”: Norway's largest and deepest fjord. Picture-postcard views that will be the envy of everyone on social media.
Ashore, take the scenic bus to the Fjaerland valley, which runs alongside the Norafjorden and Sogndalsfjorden. Here, nature has had millions of years and a few ice ages to sculpt the landscape to perfection.
At this point, you're sure to have plenty of questions. Don't worry, we've thought of that too: in the Norwegian Glacier Museum, which guards the secret of the perennial fields of snow and ice, you will find all the answers you are seeking.
Then it's off to Bøyabreen, one of the branches of the mighty Jostedal glacier. A waterfall of ice moving down the mountainside at a rate of around 2 meters a day. And as you'll soon see, it's far from quiet!
