Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Sogn og Fjordane, Western Norway
Rich in mountains, islands, glaciers, farmlands and fjords, Sogn og Fjordane is best known for Sognefjord, the longest in Norway and the second-longest in the world. One of its arms, Nærøyfjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is the 12th-century Urnes Stave Church near Lustrafjorden, an excellent example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture. Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on mainland Europe, is home to a national park with several museums and visitor centers.

Had a great time hiking on the glacier. We did the Short Blue Ice Hike with Jostedalen Breførarlag and had a great experience. As advertised, it is a bit of a trek in - 15 minutes on the boat (each way) + 45 minutes uphill to get from the lake to the glacier. Does require at least a moderate fitness level (one person in our larger group was struggling to make it up to the glacier so turned back before going on the glacier). Great views along the way. Once on the ice, we stopped a number of times for pictures and a snack break. We had a great Nepalese guide who definitely knew his stuff - we felt very safe on the glacier - and was able to take some pictures for us as well. Make sure to clarify what parking lot to meet at (its the one on the lake) and leave enough time to get through the toll between the lot at the glacier center and the meeting point. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area! Leave time to look around the exhibits at the Glacier center before/after as well - great views off the back deck.

Short farm visits and walks with our llamas. We offer informal and reasonably priced activities with the emphasis on visitors having the opportunity to experience close contact with our herd of llamas. They can be taken on a walk by the river, which is both special and relaxing.We also keep an old breed of Norwegian sheep and sell home grown strawberries and raspberries.

We had such a great time walking the lamas. We walked to a viewpoint and the view was great. The lamas seemed well taken care of and had such great personalities.

Highly recommend taking this route instead of the worlds longest tunnel. Raw nature, sheep, small “ice bergs”, lakes, rivers, snow, raw rock and breath taking views - basically what you would expect going over the mountain. Would love to take my bike on this route some time as well - bring warm cloth ;)

The drive up this valley is absolutely breathtaking! One of the most beautiful drives we have taken in an already stunning country! Beware though, the road is narrow and not everyone understands that everyone needs to give space to each others! Lots of good hiking opportunities are also available through the valley.

Then we take you on a journey through Norwegian folklore to a world where trolls and huldra live. Welcome!

What a wonderful experience of a traditional farm in Norway! The visit is filled with information and warm hospitality. We heard about the creation of the fjords while enjoying an outdoor fire and hot drinks, and continued with a tour of the buildings and tastings of traditional goat cheese and flatbread. The views of the fjord are truly spectacular. The hostess, An-Margritt, described historical farming ways, displayed old tools, and told engaging stories about the trolls and huldra –in excellent English!
