With Mother’s Day approaching, there’s no better time to spoil mom with a trip of a lifetime.

Popular activities during these months for both locals and guests include hiking, jogging, cycling, drinking “utepils” (directly translated to “outdoor lager”) at every street corner, enjoying saunas and even swimming in the arctic waters. The sun also brings with it the blossoming of fruit trees and cider from Hardanger, which has recently exploded in popularity.
