Bremanger
It is known for its white sandy beaches, cliffs, tall mountains, fjords, fairways, ocean and glaciers. It is a paradise for scenic experiences where the weather is part of the experience, whether the sun is shining or a storm is raging. The municipality stretches widely – from Bremangerlandet and Kalvåg by the open sea, to the villages of Svelgen, Davik, Botnane and Ålfoten along the fjords and deep within the fjord arms. Together, the villages of Bremanger form an eldorado of diverse nature experiences, with well over 100 marked hiking trails.
With more than 100 waymarked trails, from very easy walks to very demanding trails, Bremanger is perfect for walks, and you can walk on the sandy beaches Grotlesanden and Vetvika, hike to the top of Hornelen, Europe’s highest cliff, or conquer Gjengen on the Ålfotbreen glacier, the highest summit in Bremanger. If you want to gaze across the ocean, the views from Dosage storm cabin and Veten day trip cabin are simply breathtaking. There is a wide range of great walks to do in the municipality for adults and children alike.
Bremanger’s rugged scenery is also perfect for action-packed activities like motorsports, enduro biking, kayaking, surfing, SUP or kiting. You can test your climbing prowess at Mestringsgarden climbing park at Nesbø. Explore Tongane coastal fortress on the island of Rugsundøy on your own, and bring a torch. See the World War II barracks, check out the canon posts and eat your packed lunch outdoors under the large canon that looks out across the Nordfjord. You may even spot an eagle. Bremanger has a rich fauna of deer, eagles, otters as well as a great variety of birds, fish and marine animals. You can get particularly close to deer at Hjortegarden in Ålfoten, and even help to feed them.

Absurdly beautiful for more than 7,000 years
The combination of mountains and ocean, cosy fisherman’s style rorbu accommodation, a lively coastal scene and local high-quality produce provides experiences that you’ll remember long after your visit.
The Ålfotbreen glacier and the surrounding mountains provide a lofty landscape and a great challenge for people with experience of hiking in the mountains. No other place in the world has this kind of Devonian sandstone landscape. If you decide to take on the challenge of these rock formations, your reward will be a visit to one of the most spectacular Norwegian Trekking Association cabins in Norway; Gjegnabu. If you dare, you can climb on of the spectacular trails of Hornelen Via Ferrata.
But every day in Bremanger doesn’t have to be about uphill climbs and mountain tops. Take the boat to Vetvika and see Norway at its best. Everything is exceptional in Vetvika. The sea is exceptionally clear, the sand is exceptionally white and everything is exceptionally beautiful.
