An unprecedented influx of adrenaline will be experienced by everyone who sweeps across a stormy river on a solid raft. Rafting in Norway is common in all regions. On the fast and full-flowing river Sjoa in the western part of the country, you will find the most desperate sportsmen teamed, skillfully avoiding huge boulders and foam lines on streams. Family vacation with children will be provided by the tranquil Driva River in the southern part of Norway. It is famous for its safe flow and impressive landscapes on the banks.
The northern country has prepared high mountains for rock-climbing for true lovers of extreme sports. The areas of Lofoten, the Troll Wall, Sandvika and Kolari are full of trails of different levels of complexity. The rock breed holds athletes well, and the rocks are prickly with an abundance of cracks. Cliffs and quiet northern sunsets hanging over the river will dilute the atmosphere of extreme leisure with moments of tranquility.

A hike on the moving glacier Nigadsbreen will help you forget about all your daily problems. If you have seen everything, and extreme sports are no longer surprising, put on your “crampons” and climb. Endless cliffs overgrown with age-old forest, rough cold mountain rivers, pristine clean air and a heavy dinner in the nearest camping, are some of the things you will encounter on a moving glacier. The lifting service on a glacier is also available in the ski resorts, but the riskiest beyond a doubt, is the legendary Niggadsbreen.

De Syv Sostrene

From the series “Most Fanciful Waterfalls of the Planet”
In Norway you will find the legendary De Syv Sostrene (the Seven Sisters) waterfall. It is legendary in the literal sense of the word - many beautiful legends are associated with this natural attraction. The name of the waterfall is due to the fact that it is divided into seven separate streams. The maximum height of a stream is 250 meters. All local residents know the legend about seven sisters - beautiful girls to whom a viking warrior once came to woo. The sisters told him to get the most beautiful veil and the next day to come to choose a future wife. Despite the courage and strength, the viking could not decide the choice.
