The breathtaking fjords of the southwest are Norway's most dramatic scenic features, but there are many other reasons to visit this sparsely populated land on the northern fringe of Europe. The North Cape's midnight sun is rightly famous - here, far above the Arctic Circle, lies the spectacularly situated town of Tromsø, where the sun never rises in winter, nor sets in midsummer. In the sparsely populated wilderness that lies between the main urban centers are such delights as Jostedalsbreen, Europe's largest glacier. There are opportunities to indulge in outdoor activities including wilderness horseback excursions, skiing, fishing and rock-climbing. Even the less energetic can simply marvel at the awesome beauty of much of the Norwegian countryside, with its countless steep-sided valleys, high mountain lakes and unbelievable views.Norwegians have a word for their tradition of living with nature and in the outdoors: Friluftsliv. 'Life beneath the stars' or 'open air life 'approximate the holistic harmony that is a Scandinavian way of life. Experience Friluftsliv on horseback in Norway’s extraordinary coastal fjords, mountains and glaciers.
