From Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic, to the wild landscapes of Scotland, this journey will take shape along magical fjords, jagged cliffs and windswept moors. In the north, the Lofoten Islands reveal their spectacular scenery, their colourful villages and steel-coloured waters. Further south, the Norwegian shores unveil their raw nature, punctuated by forests, fjords sheltering ancient glaciers and cities steeped in history. Next are the Orkney and Skye archipelagos, these Celtic lands with their strong insular character, before you head for Scotland’s western coast, with its mysterious lochs and misty mountains.
