The Queen of the Fjords

The Queen of the Fjords: Hardanger & Folgefonna

‍

Hardanger is often called the “Queen of the Fjords,” known for its dramatic landscapes, orchards, waterfalls, mountains, and deep fjords. This tour takes you from Bergen into one of Norway’s most beautiful fjord regions, with nature experiences and local flavors along the way.

The program can include a guided glacier walk on Folgefonna, where experienced guides lead you safely across the ice. No prior glacier experience is required, and all necessary equipment is included.

Along the route, you may visit spectacular waterfalls such as Steinsdalsfossen, where you can walk behind the falling water and experience the power of nature up close. The tour can also include a fjord crossing by boat and a visit to a local fruit farm, with tastings and insight into Hardanger’s fruit-growing traditions and local cuisine.

The experience can be arranged as a day trip from Bergen or as a multi-day program with fjord cruises, farm visits, and overnight stays in beautiful surroundings.
