Long, thin and sliced with steep finger-like inlets, in Norway you are never far from the mountains or the sea. Nowhere in the world is the incomparable Arctic more accessible than from Norway's northern islands, and even in cultured Oslo a bounty of fjords, lakes and forests lies within minutes of the city centre. Norway's Western Fjords defy superlatives: a cruise through landscapes like Sognefjord, spiked with waterfalls, the ice clear sky doubled in mirror-like water will leave you gobsmacked. And before you decide to write off winter, remember: here cross-country skiing isn't a sport, it's a way of life (oh and Telemark is a place). From traditional villages set in deep valleys to high mountain glaciers, this is a land any Viking could love.
