Fjærland: Berge

Fjærland has served as a destination for glacier travellers in Vestland since the late 19th century. At the end of the Fjærlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord, it lies close to Jostedalsbreen National Park. The nearby Bøyabreen and Supphellebreen are outlet glaciers of the Jostedalsbreen ice cap. The Norwegian Glacier Museum, designed by architect Sverre Fehn, explores the forces that shape this glacial region. Fjærland is also known as Norway’s Book Town, with second-hand bookshops adding a literary dimension to the fjord community.

Among the regions of Norway, Vestland stands out for fjords that cut deep into a coast backed by high mountains. Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, reaches far inland, while Hardangerfjord is closely associated with orchards and spring blossom. The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
