Nordfjord

Summary A trip to Norway just isn't complete without a visit to one of its distinctive fjords. These gorgeous sea channels, shaped by glacial movements, are places of incredible beauty and vast open space. Hosts Chris Turner and Joanna Curlee are touring Nordfjord, one of the most welcoming fjords in the country. Beginning at the storm-battered coast of Westkapp, they tour an ancient island monastery ruin. This place was once a busy medieval port, but today, it's a relaxing sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life. Farther up the fjord, Chris and Joanna discover a stable that houses a unique breed of horse. The fjord horse is native to this area, and these friendly steeds are hardy and gentle, offering visitors a ride up the mountainside to a beautiful overlook. At the end of the fjord, two vast glacial lakes feed into the sea. This remote location is a perfect backdrop for a kayak voyage, where Chris and Joanna paddle under waterfalls and within sight of massive glaciers. Their tour wraps with a special, pan-seared wild salmon dish, prepared with a saffron and Pernod cream sauce, by a master chef in the heart of Nordfjord.
