We went on a morning coach tour from a cruise ship in Skjolden. Very steep winding road to the top. It was so very beautiful with lots of snow still on the mountainside. The silence, snow and blue skies took our breath away. Loved it! One of the best trips on our cruise to the Artic Circle.

Oslo, recent winner of the EU's European Green Capital Award, is best discovered when active and outdoors. Explore all the places a bus cannot: take a bike tour and cycle through the Royal Palace Gardens or next to rushing waterfalls in the downtown; rent a bike and make your way to the various beaches along the coast; hike among the hills and lakes in Europe's largest urban forest; or island hop on one of our nature walks. Let Viking Biking and Viking Hiking show you all Oslo has to offer.

Activities Worth seeing Events Accomondation Transport Eat and drink Useful information Jotunheimen> National tourist routes> Sognefjell Explore the region Click the map to visit the regions Select region Sognefjell - Across the roof of Norway In majestic surroundings, high in the mountains past blue ice, jagged peaks and emerald lakes, the Sognefjell Road runs between Sognefjord, the world’s longest fjord, and the Gudbrandsdal valley. The Sognefjell Road was designated Norway’s first tourist route in 1997 and has just been upgraded to a National tourist route in 2003. The Sognefjell Road has carried traffic since time immemorial. Fish and salt from the west and butter, hides, iron and tar from the east were carried by people on their shoulders or on horseback. The cairns helped travellers find the way in all kinds of weather. The Sognefjell Road gives you access to Jotunheimen National Park, with Galdhopiggen, Norway’s highest mountain, and several of the other of the highest peaks in Norway, and to Jostedalsbreen, Norway’s largest glacier. Here your can poke about on your own among soaring peaks, take a tour over glaciers and mountain tops with experienced guides, and go skiing all year round. The route between the inland valley, high mountains and fjord offers breathtaking contrasts in climate and topography and a variety of plant and animal life, from lower elevations with farms, pine forests and the conditions for human settlement to the alpine terrain approx. 1,000 metres above sea level. Up here you’ll find bare rock with clear traces of the last Ice Age, with grass, moss, lichen interspersed with juniper and willow. Here you’ll also find hardy polar plants such as arctic buttercup, with mountain birch here and there. Wild as well as tame reindeer live on Sognefjell, and down towards the valleys there are moose and deer. In the high mountains, eagles and rough-legged buzzards thrive. In eastern regions there may be bears, lynx and wolverines, though they are few and very shy. For more informaton on the touristroutes
We drove this in autumn and it was spectacular- we were very lucky as it was windy and cold, but we missed the road being affected by snowfall by only a few hours. If the weather is half decent this is spectacular, we drove west to east and the transition from fjord landscape to alpine area was incredible.

The Vigeland Park is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist, and is one of Norway's most popular tourist attractions. The park is open to visitors all year round.The unique sculpture park is Gustav Vigeland's lifework with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought iron. Vigeland was also in charge of the design and architectural layout of the park. The Vigeland Park was mainly completed between 1939 and 1949. Most of the sculptures are placed in five units along an 850 meter long axis: The Main gate, the Bridge with the Children's playground, the Fountain, the Monolith plateau and the Wheel of Life.
The Vigeland sculptures in Frogner Park (more often mistakenly called "Vigeland Sculpture Park") are really quite amazing and make this beautiful park so much more than just a wonderful space for relaxation and recreation. Any one of his masterpieces would be a sight to see but the effect of hundreds of them together is almost overwhelming and leaves the viewer with a deeper understanding of the human condition. As such, the collection is truly world class and an absolute must-see on any holiday in Oslo. You can get the number 12 tram from the centre / waterfront or the number 20 bus (which loops round the centre without entering it). Best of all, the park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and all year round, so you can visit when you like and spend as long as you like there. Given that the museums and art galleries pretty much all open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. (with shorter hours outside of the summer season), Vigeland can be tacked onto a day of sightseeing as a wonderful way to finish the day.

One of most delightful, romantic two-wheel rides in Oslo. Lush woods, park-like countryside, view of the sea, swimming areas, historic buildings and the royal cows are some of the sights to see along the way. Arrive from Aker Brygge via the 3-km cycle route along Frognerstranda to Hengesengveien, Bygdoy. Continue to Holsts vei - Rideveien - Huk - P.T. Mallingsvei - Langviksvei - Huk Aveny - Museumsveien - Wedels vei - Dronning Biancas vei Distance: 7 km Incline: insignificant Roadway: primarily fine gravel roads
Well, if you are in Oslo for more than a day or two, this is definitely a place to go ... there is the Viking Ship museum (with the real ships on display!) and the cultural heritage museum ( VERY worthwhile), as well as the Kontiki museum with the raft in all its glory (most interesting to kids between 6 and 12). You can get it all as part of the Oslo card (or whatever it's called now). Very good public transport there and back. You can even take a ferry one way (or both ways). Requires some resilience in terms of walking and going through the exhibits. Not recommended for old or tired people.
