Norway: Where the Land Touches the Sky

In the far reaches of Norway’s rugged west coast, where mountains plunge into deep-blue fjords and fishing villages cling to the shoreline, Richard Crawford arrives for a journey with 62° Nord — a luxury travel company that curates experiences as wild as the landscapes they inhabit. The cold bite of the Arctic only sharpens the sense of wonder.

​

Fishing 

Later, aboard a traditional fishing boat, he casts lines into waters that have sustained Norwegians for centuries. Cod and halibut bite in the shadow of towering cliffs, each catch a connection to generations of seafarers who have navigated these same channels.

 

Activities

On two wheels, the pace slows, and Richard pedals through charming island communities, the salty air mixing with the scent of pine and seaweed. Locals wave as he passes, a gesture that feels like a welcome into their rhythm of life.Then, the water calls. Slipping into the crisp, clear shallows in a drysuit, Richard discovers an underwater world where kelp forests sway like dancers and curious fish dart between rocks. Finally, the beckoning of the fjords invites a relaxing kayak sail.

E.V. driving Experience

The adventure continues behind the wheel of a sleek, fully electric Porsche Taycan, gliding along winding coastal roads that thread between emerald peaks and mirror-still water. With each turn, the scenery grows more surreal — a reminder that here, nature is the true architect of beauty.

 

Cuisine

Evenings are spent in warm, timber-clad retreats overlooking the fjords, where local cuisine tells the story of the land and sea — freshly caught fish, foraged herbs, and Nordic flavors prepared with and shared with a local Nordic family.

Conclusion 

As the midnight sun lingers over the horizon, Richard reflects on Norway’s rare magic: a place where luxury and nature intertwine seamlessly, and every journey is an invitation to experience the wild without leaving a mark.
