Norwegian fjords among the world's top destinations

Last updated: 09/02/2011 // CNN ranks Norway's fjords and mountains among the top five travel destinations in the world.

Where should you travel in 2011? CNN asked three travel experts to name their top destinations for the new year, and Norway ended up among the top five along with New York, New Zealand, the Peruvian Amazon and Barcelona. You can find the article here.

According to one of the travel experts, Martin Rapp, Norway offers an outstanding experience for lovers of the outdoors. If excitement is what you want you can go heli-skiing, paragliding and bungee jumping. If you want to relax, you can hire a boat and travel through the fjords which he describes as “unbelievable” and “endless”.

Norway's fjords were also handpicked by the editors of National Geographic as one of the twenty best trips to take in 2011.
