Abundant natural beauty awaits in Skjolden, Norway. It’s encircled by steep hills laced with spectacular falls, right at the head of the world’s longest navigable fjord, Sognefjord. Jostedalsbreen National Park offers verdant valleys, farms, austere mountains and glaciers. For thrills, you can walk on the blue ice of Jostedal Glacier, the largest glacier in mainland Europe.

Skjolden’s signature man-made sight is the Urnes Stave Church, built in the 12th and 13th centuries. It’s an outstanding example of traditional Scandinavian wooden architecture, incorporating Celtic, Viking and Romanesque design.
