The post 3 Breathtaking Spots for Nature Lovers in Norway appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>No sight-seeing tour of Norway would be complete without a visit to some of the country’s majestic fjords, or inlets created by massive glaciers that once occupied the landscape. One of the most notable is Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognizable by its cascading waterfalls and lush vegetation. Visitors can enjoy hiking, rent kayaks, or make a day of it by booking a guided tour.
The Northern Lights are another absolute must-see for any traveler visiting the northernmost regions of Norway. The city of Tromsø, located 350 kilometers north of the Arctic circle, is often referred to as the “Gateway to the Arctic” and offers an especially great vantage point for the Lights along with plenty of opportunities for whale watching and dog sledding. Plan your trip any time between September and mid-April for the greatest chance of catching a glimpse.
Pulpit Rock, or Preikestolen, should be the first stop for hiking enthusiasts while visiting Norway. Though challenging, the trek to the summit rewards hikers with panoramic views of the Lysefjord below. Prepare to spend 4-5 hours getting to the top.

]]>Alaskan cruises have grown in popularity in recent years as curious travelers have begun to discover all of the natural marvels which this northwestern US state bordering the Arctic Circle has to offer.
From glaciers to ice floes to small, charming towns on the coast, an Alaskan cruise breaks every notion of what you thought a cruise was and simultaneously offers a bevy of unique opportunities to those who choose to take one.
A typical Alaskan cruise route leaves from Seattle, WA, or Vancouver, BC, and traces up the northwest coast to the fjords, inner passages, and glaciers of southeastern Alaska. There are often stops in cities and towns like Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, great places to check out authentic Alaskan culture.
Would you consider taking an Alaskan cruise? This one-of-a-kind experience is sure to leave you stunned.

]]>The terrain is friendly and well-suited for those who like to hike but don’t want to do the most challenging hikes. Going through Kvalvika beach, Ryten appears as a massive cliff rising to a height of 543 meters directly from the sea.
Reinebringen is arguably the most popular hike in the Lofoten Islands. A short but steep trail leads up the mountainside to a ridge high above Reine village. Instagram has been flooded with pictures of the spectacular views over the village and the surrounding coast.
The summit of Haheia is the second-highest peak on the Vaeroy Island. It is also the only peak in the archipelago that has a road, which is private and leads to a NATO radar installation. Outside of this little bit of civilization, the wide-open landscapes you will go through are absolutely magnificent.
