Northern Norway #2
Norway… the land of fjords, glaciers, jagged peaks, and beautiful terrain, Norway is a highly mountainous country. Located in northwestern Europe, Norway is a large, mostly coastal country with a rugged topography.
The Northern Norway region is the northernmost part of the country. It includes the counties of Troms, Finnmark and Nordland, which is about 35% of mainland Norway’s total area. Often called the land of the midnight sun, much of Northern Norway is located above the Arctic Circle. As a result, it is a great place to see the northern lights in the winter months or to experience all-day sunlight in the summer. Northern Norway is a multicultural region that’s home to Norwegians, the Sami people, Kvens, and a sizable Russian population. Topographically, the region is quite diverse, with fjords, islands, alpine terrain, glaciers, and spruce forests. The region is also known for being home to the Lofoten archipelago, which is a truly stunning collection of mountainous islands. Northern Norway is a particularly fantastic place to hike and adventure, thanks to its many national parks and recreation areas. Moreover, it contains many nature reserves and conservation areas.
This second part of Norway has three legs:
- In the fourth leg we will discover the most impressive place in Norway: The Lofoten Islands. An archipelago made up of some 2,000 islands located above the Polar Circle and connected to the peninsula by the E10 road, which crosses them from north to south through numerous bridges and underwater tunnels.
Lofoten is synonymous with postcard landscapes, with steep mountains emerging from fjords of turquoise waters, with fishing, surfing, snow, northern lights and the midnight sun. It’s a paradise in the middle of the extreme arctic climate.
- In the fifth leg we will discover the Helgeland coast following the route of the northern part of the County Road Fv17, also called Kystriksveien. This road is 630 kilometres long, and like a magic ribbon, it runs along the Helgeland coast in an incredible way. To overcome these 650 kilometres, numerous tunnels and six ferries are needed that cross the numerous fjords that have to be crossed. The waves of the North Atlantic roar on one side, while on the other side, massive mountain peaks create a beautiful backdrop. According to National Geographic magazine, this is one of the 101 most beautiful scenic routes in the world.
- In the sixth leg we will discover the Lomsdal-Visten National Park, a protected, unique and practically intact area of 1,102 km2. The landscape is dominated by great diversity and many rivers. There are narrow fjords and wide valleys, large forest areas and mountainous terrain that extend into alpine peaks and mountain ranges. The terrain is karstic, with numerous caves, subterranean rivers and arches.
Voices and Texts in English, Catalan and Spanish
You will fly with the Diamond Aircraft DA40NG or the Beechcraft Baron G58 and have the weather window active so you can experience all the routes at different times and seasons. At the beginning of each leg, the plane is parked and in a Cold & Dark situation. If you want to start the plane quickly, just press the "CTRL + E" keys and activate the lights. You also have a flight plan available with all legs (Norway 2.pln). I hope you enjoy it!
