A new video series devoted to several famous cities, fjords, and scenic destinations in Western Norway. This series was produced in 4K and high dynamic range to show the majestic beauty of Norway to its fullest. The five episodes feature local expert guides and finely crafted narration and music, as we travel through beautiful sites and dramatic scenery. Episode 1: Bergen - The first episode visits Bergen, the gateway to the fjords of Norway, one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in all of Scandinavia. Episode 2: Geiganger - Geiranger fjord is the crown jewel of all the Norwegian fjords. It is a natural wonder on the UNESCO World Heritage list. As in most of Norway, agriculture was always important, but with so much natural beauty, tourism became the important industry in the late 1800s. Episode 3: Alesund - Episode three visits Alesund, a beautiful small city located on the west coast of Norway. It's made up of seven picturesque islands connected by small bridges. Alesund is a gateway city to many fjords in western Norway, including the famous Geiranger fjord. The city center of Alesund is known for its wonderful Art Nouveau architecture that was established after a devastating city fire. Episode 4: Eidfjord and Flam - Less than 2+ hours from the coastal city of Bergen by car is Eidfjord, in the heart of the historic Hardanger region, one of Western Norway's most dramatically beautiful landscapes. The village of Eidfjord is a major cruise ship port-of-call and a major tourist destination, bustling with activity year-round. We then go on to visit Flam, the perfect departure point for some of Norway's most popular - and beautiful destinations. Episode 5: Stave Churches and Spectacular Scenery - In this final episode Travels in Western Norway visits four of Norway's most historic stave churches. These wonderful wooden masterpieces are reminiscent of Viking times and display both Christian and Norse theology, allowing you to step back over 1000 years in time. Also, we visit some of Norway's most majestic waterfalls, a glacier museum, and the famous Briksdal glacier that has receded significantly over the last 100 years.
