The countryside along the zigzag roads to Bergen will hypnotize you, while the stark, barren land around Alta or the sunny coves of the south coast astonish visitors over and over again.
Sprays of dancing waterfalls will keep you spellbound and cool while you admire them from the many bridges that allow you to advance to the higher plateaus. It is a country of contrasts, with scenery so varied it never ceases to amaze. A winter's velvety blue night sky is lit by the shimmering Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), luring skiers to launch over the white sparkling crisp snow, before giving way to the bright midnight sun of summer that blends daytime and night into one. The land of the Norwegian Vikings is full of tradition, exemplified by its rustic stave churches, traditional foods and its folk dances... but, it is also modern. This technologically advanced nation is rich in petroleum and hydroelectric energy. It is one of the last great natural frontiers of the world. Norge invites exploration, with its steep mountains and jagged fjords, salmon-filled rivers, glaciers, and meadows. The monotonous concerts of the misting waterfalls feature the songs of the mountain king who is inviting you to come and enjoy this beautiful country of the North.
