Sognefjord Attractions

 
The Sognefjord is the largest of the Norwegian fjords, surpassing the gentler scenery of the Hardangerfjord with the somber grandeur of its mountain setting. It extends inland for some 180km/110mi from Sygnefest in the west to Skjolden at the eastern end of the Lusterfjord, with an average width of no more than 5km/3mi. Its greatest depth is 1,245m/4,085ft.

At its eastern end the fjord is split into a number of narrow arms, enclosed by steep rock walls rising to over 1,700m/5,500ft. Here and there along the shores are cornfields, orchards and trim houses. The east end of the fjord already has a continental climate, with warm summers and long, cold winters.
