3. Alesund
Alesund is a port town on the North Sea coast, located between Bergen and Trondheim. This town lacks the medieval beauty that places like Bergen possess. This is because the city was largely destroyed by a fire that raged here in 1904. This resulted in a charming style of architecture that was typical for the 1900s and 1910s, which gives Alesund its unique character. To discover more trivia on Alesund’s resurrection from the fire, go to the art nouveau centre of Jugendstilsenteret in the heart of the city.
4. Jotunheimen National Park
Jotunheimen National Park or the ‘Home to the Giants’ measures 1150 square kilometres and is home to Norway’s highest summits. Jotunheimen is a playground for outdoor-minded travellers, as it has 250 mountains, biking routes, hiking trails, and fantastic skiing areas in winter. The Besseggen mountain ridge is one of the finest locations to tie your hiking shoes, as this area gives visitors 360-degree views of alpine lakes and snowy peaks. If you’re into mountain biking, the Mjølkevegen route with a length of 250 kilometres makes for a phenomenal biking experience through the enchanting landscapes of Jotunheimen National Park.
