Vist Norway's fjords with Netferry

We often imagine Norway as a country of magnificent fjords and epic landscapes, but how do you get to these remote places? And how do you choose the best location from which to explore? Well, Netferry can help you with this, we recommend that instead of heading by aeroplane straight for Oslo, why not travel by ferry to somewhere along the coast to make the most of the journey and make your holiday more environmentally friendly.
Netferry recommends heading to the little-known port of Flåm, a little village to the west of the capital situated in an area that is famous for fjords. Flåm lies at the end of Aurlandsfjord fjord, which is a branch of the vast Sognefjord fjord. Sognefjorden is also known as the King of the Fjords because it is the broadest and deepest fjord in Norway, stretching 205 kilometres inland from the sea.
