- Olden: A village situated at the end of the Nordfjord, known for its green valleys and glaciers. From here, excursions often lead to the Briksdal Glacier, part of the larger Jostedalsbreen glacier. It offers a close look at the region’s icy landscapes.
- Skjolden: Located at the head of the Lustrafjorden, a branch of the Sognefjord. The area is a gateway to two national parks and the Urnes Stave Church, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a quiet spot for exploring the inner reaches of the fjord system.
- Ulvik: A peaceful village on the shores of the Hardangerfjord. It is known for its fruit orchards, especially apples, which are used to produce local cider. The area offers walking trails and an insight into fjord-side agriculture.
