Visit Sognefjord
Fjærland is located in Fjærlandsfjorden, an arm of the fjord that flows into the mighty Sognefjord near Balestrand. The Sognefjord region gets most of its visitors during the summer season, but spring and autumn are also becoming more popular. The Sognefjord is just as good - all year round!
In winter, the mountain areas around Fjærland are inviting for skiing trips of all kinds, where summit tours and "the best snow in the world" in particular attract locals and visitors. In February, the popular Mountain Sports Festival is held in Sogndal, and the ski centers in Sogndal and Luster are not far away.
Another, in our opinion, local treasure is without a doubt the mighty Jostedalsbreen glacier - the largest glacier on the European mainland and protected as a national park. Norwegian Glacier Museum is an authorized Visitor Center for Jostedalsbreen National Park.
