Hotels in The Hardangerfjord, Norway
The Hardangerfjord stretches through western Norway, famous for its towering waterfalls and fruit orchards that burst into bloom each spring. Its climate is mild, with summers around 15-20°C (59-68°F) perfect for kayaking the calm fjord waters or hiking to the Vøringsfossen waterfall, and winters averaging 0-5°C (32-41°F) when you can ski at the nearby Folgefonna glacier. To catch the most vibrant views, visit in late May for the cherry blossoms along the fjord's edges, or come in July for berry-picking in the Lofthus orchards.
