Big doesn't mean best though, and many of the most beautiful fjords are harder to reach and shorter than Sognefjord.įjords were created by glaciers melting after the last ice age, and many of these stunning, sculpted, shaped valleys are now incredibly popular with tourists - as you probably know.
Scoresby Sund (350km) in Greenland is actually the longest fjord in the world, but the next two on the list belong to Western Norway - the Sognefjord (203km) and the Hardanger Fjord (179km). Each is a deep inlet of the ocean bordered on each side by stunning glaciated cliffs (being a fjord and all - check out our basic guide to fjords here), and many offer you the chance of seeing the northern lights as well. So, which fjord should you visit? There are a lot of them.
Come to think of it though… we can change that last part, since it is such an important question. It’s only five words long and it’s the same font size as everything else on this page. The fact that you’re searching for a map of Norway’s fjords means that you’ve probably already decided to go visit the fjords (good choice!), and that really, you’re in the process of deciding which of the Norwegian fjords to visit.
