A Taste of Norway
One of the destinations where you can savour the S.A.L.T program is the picturesque village of Kalvåg, located at the entrance of Nordfjord. Known for its historic fish warehouses that line the quay, Kalvåg was once one of the largest fishing villages along the Norwegian coastline. Today, the area around Kalvåg is a popular destination for hiking.
Another location not to be missed is Geiranger, a picturesque village at the end of the waterfall-lined Geirangerfjord. Here, verdant farms are home to small and independent producers. Geiranger is known for its homemade goats' milk cheeses, craft beers, artisanal chocolates, and a chocolate shop called Geiranger Sjokolade. The shop uses ingredients sourced locally, including mint and Nordic berries, to create its delicious chocolate creations.
