It has a certain rugged exterior, and is home to mountain ranges, dramatic glaciers, spectacular fjords and mediaeval churches. It has some of Europe's finest and wildest landscapes with deep alpine and spruce forests, river valleys, waterfalls and mountain plateaux - ideal for a get away from it all activity holiday.
