The Norwegian coast is a paradise for yachtsmen with beautiful small towns and a coast especially on the south coast filled with islands. The fjords and the mountainous landscape create interesting itineraries that are unique along the 1.300 nautical miles long coast.
Despite the bustling cities that seem to occupy the lowlands of Norway, geographically, the country is still filled with massive coastlines and fjords. What's more, there are more than two hundred islands that you can find scattered all over, which makes sailing in Norway one of the most appreciated activities during the summer.

Once you're in Norway, you should visit Bergen, one of the most popular towns in the country. Besides being a portal for yacht ports and the fjords, there are also other interesting sights to see. For example, you can catch the medieval architecture that made up the country's history (such as their magnificent cathedrals). You may also want to stay in one of their wooden houses that are scattered all over the city. Most of all, you can play along with amateur bands who are willing to take your requests for some Norwegian music.
Sailing in Norway is like paradise. But where to go? A good suggestion will be in the Norwegian South Coast region. By nature, the weather along this coast is sometimes unpredictable. However, you can find many sheltered places along your charter. If you're sailing alone, you can anchor your boat close to any of the mountains near the fjords. Nevertheless, for safety purposes, ensure that you have the right safety equipment with you. Moreover, you must also be prepared for the strong gusts of winds.
Do you love to commune with nature on a vacation? You can always bring your backpack on the North West Coast part. There are many hiking and biking trails that you can find near the fjords. One example is the one you can discover in Midsund District. The narrowness of Rorsethornet's edges can give you the kind of excitement in your holiday. You can also pass by the fjords until you reach the mountain peaks Midoya Island. Along the way, don't forget to pick the spring flowers that decorate the entire mountains. Nevertheless, make sure that you bring along a trail map with you. It's better to have something to look at when you can't find your way home.
Are you thinking of charter a yacht in Norway? If you are, the country has lots of cruises and charters to choose from. If charter a yacht is not your thing, you can always go hiking in the mountains or, better yet, immerse yourself in the grandiose beauty of the fjords. |
