- If you are a big fan of the mountains like I am then I highly recommending camping to views of Norwegian mountains and fjords in Odda.
- If you are an adrenaline junkie too, then also add hiking to Trolltunga and sitting on the edge of the rock too. I have also shared tips on everything you need to know to hike to Trolltunga as well as what to pack for Norway.
- If you are in the UK and looking for scene sights in the mountains then check out the beautiful trails of Mount Snowdonia.
- If you love a good view then add Mount Ulriken in the city of the 7 mountains that is Bergen.
- For something a little lighter but still offering amazing views of rock formations then check out Durdle Door in beautiful Dorset. An amazing place to rock climb if you are into that type of thing too.
