Experience the scenic wonders of the ruggedly beautiful Jotunheimen National Park on an all-day excursion. After boarding the motorcoach, you'll journey into the verdant countryside via the Sognefjellet National Tourist Route. Rising over 4,700 feet, this mountain pass is Northern Europe's highest and your first photo stop offers splendid views of the majestic Hurrungane Mountains. Another photo stop awaits you at Sognefjell Mountain en route to the Stave Church in the tiny village of Lom. Built in 1158 A.D. using a traditional post and beam construction, the exterior features a triple nave. Nearby is the Norwegian Mountain Museum whose exciting exhibits include a full-scale model of a mammoth. Your next stop is at a local establishment for a delicious lunch followed by a return trip to port. Along the way you'll stop to see the 131-foot tall Saga Column featuring decorations representing Norway's history and finally, the cascading Åsafossen Waterfall.
