More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A gray morning in Oslo dissolves into highway light as the minivan peels away from the city and climbs toward raw Norwegian highland. Pine gives way to rock-scoured plateaus; rivers braid through corries and the air sharpens with altitude. By mid-morning the landscape opens into hammer-faced fjords—sheer walls dropping into cold, glassy water that seems to dare you to get closer.
