Bergen, the City of Seven Mountains:
Bergen is famously known as the "City of Seven Mountains" due to its stunning natural surroundings. The city is nestled between seven mountains, providing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding fjords and landscapes. The mountains include Ulriken, Fløyen, Løvstakken, Damsgårdsfjellet, Sandviksfjellet, Blåmanen, and Lyderhorn. Tourists and locals alike often enjoy hiking or taking the Fløibanen funicular to the top of Mount Fløyen for a spectacular view of the city and its surroundings.

Bryggen Wharf - A UNESCO World Heritage Site:
Bergen's historic Bryggen Wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a fascinating glimpse into the city's medieval past. The colorful wooden buildings lining the wharf date back to the Hanseatic League's trading activities in the 14th century. Despite several fires throughout the centuries, the Bryggen area has been meticulously reconstructed, preserving its historical charm. Today, it's a bustling area filled with shops, restaurants, and museums, offering visitors a unique blend of history and modern culture.

Fisketorget - Bergen's Famous Fish Market:
Fisketorget, or the Fish Market, is a lively and iconic destination in Bergen. Located by the harbor, this market has been a hub of activity for over 800 years. Here, visitors can indulge in fresh seafood, including a variety of fish, shellfish, and traditional Norwegian dishes. Apart from seafood, Fisketorget also features stalls selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, and local crafts. The atmosphere, along with the opportunity to sample Bergen's culinary delights, makes Fisketorget a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists.

Eléonore and Mallaurie visited Stockholm at the beginning of November. Let's hear what they had to say about Sweden's beautiful capital 🇸🇪

We had lovely time! We stayed at the Clarion Hotel Amaranten in a superior room that was quite spacious and comfortable. Stockholm is the perfect getaway for a long weekend in a city. Our favorite museum was the Vasa museum, and we had a great time travelling in the archipelago with a Strömma cruise.

Let us introduce you to Carolane, our vibrant team member who brings the spirit of France to Norway! 🇳🇴

At 23 years young, Carolane hails from the picturesque town of Clermont Ferrand, France. 🇫🇷 Her adventurous spirit led her to Scandinavia three and a half years ago, and she has fallen head over heels for Norway's charm!

What made her choose Scandinavia? It's the quality of life and the incredible proximity to nature that won her heart. Living and working in Norway has been a dream come true for Carolane!

📍 When asked about her favorite spot in Scandinavia, she gushes about the Northern wonders, like Alta and Tromsø! Witnessing the mesmerizing dance of the Northern Lights in winter and basking in the golden glow of the Midnight Sun in summer—Carolane finds them truly enchanting!

And guess where she unwinds and embraces the true Norwegian spirit? It's at a hidden Viking beach on the island of Nøtterøy—Hella gravfelt! The place where she can light up a fire, relish a pølse and lompe, and savor the tranquility of nature.

Carolane's favorite activity? Simple yet gratifying—exploring Norway's breathtaking nature trails, absorbing the peace and serenity it offers!

As a true culinary connoisseur, her taste buds dance with joy over the delectable "kanel boller" (cinnamon rolls) found in Norway's pastry wonderland.

🎒 To all the travelers venturing into Scandinavia, Carolane's golden advice is to bring good clothes and shoes! There's no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing!

Exploring Lofoten's majestic landscapes is an absolute must for any nature enthusiast! Here are three of the best hikes in this breathtaking archipelago:

⛰️Reinebringen: This challenging hike is an ultimate reward for adventure seekers. The trail leads you up to the summit of Reinebringen, offering mesmerizing panoramic views of Reine and its surrounding fjords. As you ascend, you'll be surrounded by lush greenery, rocky terrain, and the crisp, clean air of the Norwegian wilderness. At the top, witness a truly awe-inspiring sunset that will stay etched in your memory forever.

⛰️Kvalvika Beach: Picture-perfect and secluded, Kvalvika Beach is a true gem tucked away amidst towering cliffs and lush meadows. To reach this hidden paradise, you'll embark on a scenic hike that takes you through rolling hills and coastal landscapes. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by golden sands and crashing waves, providing the perfect spot for relaxation and contemplation. It's an ideal place to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

⛰️Ryten: For an extraordinary experience, hike to the summit of Ryten, especially during the summer months when the midnight sun graces the skies. This moderate-to-difficult hike takes you through wildflower-dotted fields and rugged terrain. Reaching the top rewards you with a spectacle of endless sunlight, painting the landscape in surreal hues. Alternatively, if you visit during the winter, you might be lucky enough to witness the enchanting dance of the Northern Lights above the Lofoten peaks.
