The whole area is great for hiking, and it's no surprise that Lyseboten offers great cruises across the fjords.

Tourists flock here in the summer when the weather is milder. Also, if you're planning a visit, it's nice to know that road conditions have improved in recent years. But this is one of the most challenging routes on our list.
