Whether you want summertime fjords, snowy skiing spots or Arctic adventures, Norway has it all

Norway Trips

Whether you’d prefer to spend your summer holiday experiencing the emerald and jade shimmer of the world-famous Norwegian fjords, choose to begin your adventure in winter to cross-country ski across pristine snow, or even journey far north into the clutches of the unforgiving and unimaginably beautiful Artic, trips to Norway are about the landscape. Indeed, the country's national anthem says it all:

"Rising storm-scarr'd from the ocean,
Where the breakers foam…"

With fewer than five million inhabitants, the country is sparsely populated, leaving huge stretches of wild, frozen scenery ready to be explored during your trip to Norway. As the birthplace of skiing, all snow devotees will have the opportunity to glide across the frozen lakes, ancient forests and secluded valleys on their adventure.

Visit in summer and you will experience the longest days you’ve ever seen – where the sun hardly sets – or book your trip between September and March in the hopes of seeing the Northern Lights. For those of you that are nature lovers, you may even get the chance to spot some of Norway’s incredible wildlife, including whales and polar bears.

A truly stunning country, each city has its own character that boasts fascinating architecture. No matter your reason for travel, book your Norway trip now and look forward to getting amongst the friendly locals.

In focus: Summer holidays in Norway

Summer sees the snows melt, and for walkers, this frees up the world-famous fjords for world-class hiking – head up the quiet yet dramatic Lustrafjord to escape the huge cruise liners and have the views to yourself. Exodus Norway tours include Walking the Fjords, which is based at nearby Nes Gard lodge. A short hike from Feigumfossen waterfall, it's also a stone’s throw from the Urnes Stave Church – the oldest stave church in Norway, and one of the most beautiful. UNESCO listed, it is built almost entirely from wood and intricately carved with arched gables and entwined vine reliefs. You'll also see the Jostedalsbreen ice cap, both on foot in the Jostedalsbreen National Park and by boat from the waters of a glacial lake. The biggest glacier in continental Europe, the Jostedalsbreen ice cap is a staggering 80km long and reaches up to 600m in thickness.

Nærøyfjord is the narrowest of the fjords – only 250m between the dramatic escarpments at its thinnest point. This UNESCO World Heritage Site takes its name from Njord, the Norse god of the sea. Nowhere else does the infinite power of the gods seem more appropriate; the sheer walls of the fjords loom over you as you creep between the towering rocks. This is a mythic landscape, one where folkloric fantasies ignite the imagination.
