Norway

Deep fjords, switchback roads, and the long northern blue hour.

Best timeJune–August for green fjords and midnight sun; September–March for the aurora further north.

Why Norway

Fjords that swallow the light and cliffs that don't quite believe in guardrails. Norway is vertical travel — ferries beneath waterfalls, roads that switchback into cloud, and villages clinging to the water's edge. We chase the blue hour here, when the fjords go quiet and impossibly deep.

Norway is slower and steeper than the distances suggest. Build in ferry time, respect the weather windows, and let the light — not the odometer — set the pace.
