Today, you\'ll move from the highest mountains in Norway to its longest fjord in one day. A full day of hiking in Jotunheimen National Park, "Home of the Giants," will reveal more than 250 peaks rising above 6,200 feet. Then, continue down to the fjords and get your first glimpse of Norway\'s most magnificent geological feature. Along the way, drive one of the Norwegian Scenic Routes, Sognefjellet, a spectacular mountain pass connecting the eastern and western regions of Norway (and the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe at 4,704 feet above sea level). Enter the innermost parts of the Sognefjorden, the world\'s second longest fjord, as you descend from the plateau. 

The day\'s activities are weather-dependent and snow conditions will influence where you will hike. On a beautiful day, it\'s possible to hike across the glacier at Boverbreen, or hike to Tindeklubhytta (a more challenging trail). If conditions aren\'t right, you may hike to Fuglesteg lower in the valley.

This somewhat challenging hike requires an approximate 1,968 foot ascent to the summit at 3,661 feet.

After another hearty breakfast, check out of the hotel and prepare for exploring a new mountain area, Sunnmore. Start with a beautiful drive to Hellesylt, where you\'ll take a scenic ferry ride through UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord. Enjoy the town of Geiranger before continuing along the hairpin road toward Eidsdal, just across the fjord from your final destination of the day. Before crossing, hike from Kilsti at sea level to Blahornet at the top of the fjord. After the hike, board the ferry for a short ride to Valldal, where you\'ll spend the night. If it\'s strawberry season, taste some of the best \"Valldal berries,\" as they\'re known in Norway, which grow here in the valley.
