Spring flowering fruit tree blossom and endless mountain landscapes make Hardangerfjord one of the world's most unspoilt areas of natural beauty. With its long evenings, the onset of a late spring makes Hardangerfjord an ideal place to visit from June until September and thanks to easy online booking, holiday house and holiday apartment reservations are easy to make any time of the year, making planning your trip to Hardangerfjord effortless.
