Vestland

The heart of Norway's fjord country, home to Bergen, the Sognefjord and Trolltunga.

Vestland lies in western Norway, formed by merging the former Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane counties, with Bergen as its administrative seat. Bergen's Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf is a World Heritage Site, and the city is surrounded by seven mountains. The Sognefjord is Norway's longest and deepest fjord, with the Flåm Railway and a Nærøyfjord cruise as classic routes; the Hardangerfjord is known for its orchards and waterfalls, and the Trolltunga hike near Odda is highly challenging. Summer (Jun–Sep) is the best time for fjord trips and hiking. Bergen Flesland Airport is the main gateway.
