Where to go? Destinations Norway

Norway, without a doubt one of the most beautiful countries in the world ...

By its nature both spectacular and generous, Norway provokes astonishment and encourages respect. We can not remain indifferent to these incredible fjords that deeply cut the coast of emerald water and its majestic glaciers, the largest in Europe ... This country, whose nature is queen, also contains vast green meadows, mountains with steep summits not to mention the wild landscapes of its archipelagos such as the Lofoten Islands. And then there is the Arctic, its aurora borealis and its exceptional fauna: polar bear, musk oxen, reindeer ... The roads in Norway are splendid and the picturesque wooden villages. A country out of the ordinary that finds no other like ...
