TRAVELGUIDE

Ski & WiNTER – with fjord view
The scenery of Nordfjord is the most beautiful in Norway,
and its majestic mountains and deep fjord are the
perfect backdrop to winter experiences. At the coast,
winters are often mild with little snow, while further
inland it often snows, which means there are many days
with powder snow. In Nordfjord, you will find worldclass
skiing terrain and great ski centres with prepared
tracks set in the beautiful and spectacular scenery of
Western Norway, often with great views of the fjord. A
trip to Nordfjord can be spiced up with summit trips,
surfing at Stad, spa and wellbeing treatments, and tasty
meals prepared from local ingredients, or you can just
enjoy the dramatic winter landscape of the fjords.
