If you are looking to get away this summer, far away from the beach crowds, consider the majestic fjords and the countryside of Norway. But if you don’t want to sleep in a tent, there’s the Hotel Union on the Geiranger fjord. The hotel was built in 1891 (although recently renovated), so it has a lot of history and tradition. Its location, overlooking the Geiranger fjord, is unparalleled. You can go on day hikes or short cruises. The hotel has a swimming pool, sauna and Turkish bath to sooth your aching muscles after a long hike.
