Norway, a land of captivating natural beauty, is ready to inspire travelers in 2025. From stunning fjords to mythical trolls and the enchanting midnight sun, Norway offers a diverse range of experiences [3, 6].
Fjords
Explore Norway's breathtaking fjords, a hallmark of the country's landscape. Note that starting in 2026, traffic will be greatly restricted in the fjords, with only cruise ships running on alternative fuels being allowed [4]. 2025 may be the last year to experience the fjords on your preferred cruise line before these regulations take full effect [4]. Consider a fjord cruise to witness pristine scenery, waterfalls, and charming small townships [4, 11].
Trolls
Delve into Norwegian folklore and discover the land of trolls. Visit Trollstigen, also known as “The Troll Ladder,” a scenic route offering breathtaking views [3, 20]. While the road is expected to remain closed until mid-July 2025 for safety reasons, the viewing platform is still accessible from the Geiranger/Valldal side [3, 5, 20]. For a family-friendly experience, head to Hunderfossen Fairytale Park in Lillehammer, where you can meet over 150 trolls [3].
Midnight Sun
Experience the magical midnight sun, where the sun never sets, transforming Norway's northern landscapes into an endless summer day from late May through July [6]. Key destinations to witness this phenomenon include Bodø (June 4 - July 8), Lofoten (May 25 - July 18), Tromsø (May 18 - July 25), Alta (May 17 - July 26), and Nordkapp (May 12 - July 31) [6]. Join the Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromsø on June 21, 2025, and run under the golden light [9, 10].
