A three-day march through the heart of fjord Norway. Leave Bergen for the Sognefjord, climb the waterfall-strung Gaularfjellet to its cantilevered viewpoint, then work north to the Geirangerfjord, the postcard of Norway and over the Trollstigen hairpins. Finish in Ålesund, the Art Nouveau town spread across islands at the sea's edge. Ferries and high passes mean summer timing matters.
