Electrifying experiences in Sognefjord

The Sognefjord is known as the king of the Norwegian fjords. It is Norway's longest fjord and stretches from Utvær in the west to Øvre Årdal innermost in the fjord. It's where you will find the most iconic fjord landscapes, various activities throughout the year, and the history of how power production shaped communities in the 20th century.

The Sognefjord is considered by many to be the epitome of spectacular fjord landscapes, and has everything from waterfalls, glaciers, steep mountainsides and narrow fjord arms. For anyone wanting to learn something new as they journey through beautiful landscapes, the unique history of power production along the Sognefjord will make the experience even more incredible.

Høyanger and Årdal

Høyanger and Årdal are power-producing municipalities that are situated along the beautiful Sognefjord. Høyanger has been influenced and shaped to a large extent by the industrialisation that took place in the 1900s, and has played a significant role for the county of Sogn og Fjordane. Årdal, with its villages Årdalstangen and Øvre Årdal, not only enjoys the status of being a national park municipality, but also has a very special history. Rallarvegen, the Navvies Road, offers a unique view into the heart of Jotunheimen National Park. For anyone interested in nature and history, these two power-producing municipalities offer a multitude of very special experiences.
