Sailing up and down Norwegian fjords on battery power? This is no longer a pipe dream. Step onboard the vessels Vision and Future of the Fjords, which are respectively hybrid and fully-electric, and let your eyes rest on the breathtaking
scenery of mountains, waterfalls and villages north-east of Bergen. The trip, between Flåm and Gudvangen, takes around two hours one way. norwaysbest.com
Holmenkollen Ski Museum It might be spring, but that doesn’t mean you must say goodbye to winter sports. Head to the iconic Holmenkollen, which has been at the heart of Norwegian skiing for more than a century: the first ski-jumping competition there took place in 1892. At 21.5 metres, its longest jump has since been overtaken by the current record of 144 metres. The museum features skis from 600 AD, a Polar exhibition and an interactive area for children.
