Bird's Eye Views of Western Norway

Top contributor Muhamad AbuShakra has won multiple Drone Video of the Week awards for his videos of the Alps in Central Europe.  To make this magnificent piece, he headed to Western Norway for a one week backpacking trip.  Starting at the city of Stavanger, he travleled and filmed his adventure, resulting in some amazing aerial footage of such sights as the Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), the Kjeragbolten suspended boulder at nearby Kjerag Mountain, and of course some of the world's most famous fjords.  

Take a trip through the magical region of Western Norway with top AirVūz contributor and drone pilot aqua william.  The video includes footage of the following locations in the region: Romsdalen, a 60 km long (roughly 36 mi.) valley in Møre og Romsdal and Innlandet Counties; the town of Åndalsnes along the Isfjorden; and the Ålesund Region in Møre og Romsdal County, which is home to some of Scandinavia's most iconic scenery.  This video earned a Drone Video of the Week nomination in October of  2020. 

Prepare to be blown away by this drone video of some VERY brave BASE jumpers at a famous spot in Norway by former Drone Video Award Finalist Brent De Bleser.  The video was filmed at the Heliboogie 2023 jumping event at Kjerag mountain in Rogalund County, one of the main counties of the Western Norway region.  Kjerag towers over 3.6k ft. (1.1k m) above the Lysefjord, with a cliff on the northern side of the mountain (where the video was filmed) dropping 3.2k ft. (984 m) nearly straight down to the fjord.  

For an aerial view of the spectacular natural scenery of western Norway, it's tough to beat this three and a half minute video by The Art of Drones.  The video was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro drone.  It features bird's eye views of some of the most iconic and popular spots in the heart of Norway's fjord country.  Highlights include Beseggen, Jotenheim National ParkKjerag, Trolltunga, Voringsvossen waterfall, Geiranger Fjord, and more scenes from the region, the most-visited part of this Scandinavian country. 

Take a look at this magnificent drone video of a trek to a snow-covered mountain peak in Western Norway, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Vegardho.  Vegardho, whose first upload to AirVuz garnered a Drone Video of the Week nomination, aerially captured an epic hike to Mt. Grøvelnebba, near the town of Sunndalsøra.  Sunndalsøra is situated in the northeastern part of Møre og Romsdal County, one of the counties which make up the official region of Western Norway.  

Shot on the DJI Mavic Air and DJI Mavic 2 Pro with Polar Pro ND-filter, contributor and drone pilot vegardho brings us this spectacular aerial video from Norway.  The video was shot around the munucipality of Sunndalsøra.  The town sits at the head of Sunndalsfjord, a fjord which is located in Møre og Romsdal County.   A Drone Video of the Week nominee in March of 2019, the 4K quality video brings us up over the snow-capped mountains, down to the rushing rivers, and out towards the sea at sunset. 

Award-winning contributor Grim Berge created this amazing recreation of a scene from the 2018 blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Fallout from its original filming location.  Located in western Norway, Preikestolen, aka the Pulpit Rock, features a vertical cliff of over 600 meters (almost 2k ft.) down to the Lysefjorden.  Shot mainly with a DJI Inspire 2 drone, the video recreates an epic escape scene in the film, which was set in the Himalayas but was in fact filmed right here in Norway. 

From the fjords to the waterfalls, and then onto winsome waterside villages, every single frame of this beautiful production feels like a postcard.  OnFocus created an epic compilation of shots from across Western Norway, home of some of the world's most spectacular scenery.  The region covers the western part of the country from its southern tip up through its "thickest" part before it narrows and transitions to the Central Norway region.  The video was shot with a DJI Phantom 4 Professional drone.  

As the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak became a worldwide pandemic in early 2020, "Social Distancing" became the norm as hundreds of millions of people around the world were forced to isolate themselves to stop the spread of the disease.  During these dark times, solo dronies became a means for drone pilots to safely communicate with the rest of humanity and show their solidarity.  In this piece, top AirVuz contributor PilotViking and his canine friend show us his corner of the world in Western Norway.    

While Norway's largest city is in its southeastern region, most of the country's spectacular scenery lies on its west coast.  Along this long coastline lie a mind-boggling number of famous fjords, mountains, and towns and cities.  The visual cornucopia is the main reason why a large cruise ship trade has developed here.  In this video, contributor Mohri Films used a drone to create an epic captioned aerial tour of the Atlantic coastline.  It includes bird's eye views of Sognefjord, Trollstigen, Lovatnet, and more.   

Check out this magnificent video tour of Norway, compliments of contributor Pava.  The video, which was shot with a DJI Inspire 1 drone and also includes ground camera footage, was shot across a number of expanses of Western Norway, home of its most popular travel destinations.  Skillfully weaving together incredible video footage and timelapses, the piece does a marvelous job of showing the stunning natural beauty of this place, which abounds with fjords, glaciers, green valleys, and towering cliffs.  

Get a captioned tour of the region of Western Norway in this fantastic piece by kaosolsen, featuring footage of the following locations in Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane Counties: the Hardangerbrua bridge; Steinsdalsfossen, a waterfall in the Kvam Municipality; the Vøringfossen waterfall in Eidfjord; the Låtefossen waterfalls Ringedalsvatnet lake, and the Buarbreen Glacier, in Odda; the scenic overlook of Stegastein; Kinsarvik, a village in the municipality of Ullensvang; and Øystese, a village in Kvam.

The Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) is a major tourist attraction of Rogaland in the southwestern corner of Norway. The top of the rock, which is roughly 600 meters (2000 ft) above the base, is essentially a flat table from which tourists can view the Lysefjord fjord, one of Norway's biggest attractions.  Top contributor Grim Berge used a drone to treat us to a spectacular aerial view of this magnificent rock, the shooting location ("disguised" to resemble New Zealand) for a key scene in Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018).  

New AirVuz contributor brings us this magnificent drone video from Western Norway.   First up is the Rjoandefossen waterfall in the municipality of Aurland in Vestland county.  Then it's on to Ringedalsvatnet, a lake in the municipality of Ullensvang, also in Vestland.  The next stop is the Rallarvegen trail, between Flåm and Myrdal, in Aurland.  The fourth spot is the Trollstigen road in neighboring Møre og Romsdal.  The last identified spot is Geiranger, a village in the historical region of Sunnmøre in western Møre og Romsdal.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Skyhigh project brings us this stunning drone video from a famous mountain road in Norway called Trollstigen.  It's part of County Road 63, which follows a pass between two valleys a short distance south of the town of Åndalsnes in Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of the region of Western Norway.   The road is surrounded by mountains which range up to about 5.6k ft. above sea level or around 1.7k m.  The video was filmed with a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone.  

Featuring plenty of gasp-worthy drone shots, literally on the edge of a fjord, this spectacular film reminds us of what's celebrated on Syttende Mai (known to the rest of us as Norway Constitution Day). The breathtaking views of this beautiful Nordic scenery are certainly reason enough to celebrate...kudos to simenhaughom, a young but very skilled Norwegian drone pilot, for capturing them all so perfectly.  Watch it and you'll see why his drone videos have run up over a hundred million views on YouTube.  

Talented AirVuz contributor nayya2006 brings us this excellent drone videos from the fjords of Western Norway.  While fjords (long, narrow inlets created by glaciers) are not unique to Norway, the "bulge" in the country's western coastline is home to some of the largest and most spectacular-looking.   The video features some outstanding footage of these wonders of nature, as well as the Jotunheimen (part of the Scandinavian Mountains, ultimately the source of the fjord-creating glaciers), iconic stave churches, and more.  

In this video, contributor and pilot PilotViking treats us to a bird's eye view of a stave church, a once common church design in northern and western Europe.  Thousands of these wooden churches were built over a wide area, mostly in the late Middle Ages.  Alas, while they were easier and cheaper to build than stone churches, they did not have the same longevity: very few remain and virtually all of them are located in Norway.  This is the Hopperstad Church in Vik, a town in Fjordane Couty of western Norway. 

AirVuz contributor and pilot Marek, brings us this stunning drone video from the area around Trolltunga, Norway.  Trolltunga itself is a shelf-life rock formation which extends from a mountain, roughly 700 meters (around 2.3k ft.) above the north shore of Lake Ringedalsvatnet in the municipality of Ullensvang in Vestland County, which is part of the official region of Western Norway.  One of Norway's most iconic spots, Trolltunga is accessible via a very difficult 27 km (around 17 mi.) round-trip hike from the village of Skjeggedal.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist fotoknoff brings us this stunning drone video from the Romsadalen, a valley in Norway.  The valley runs for about 35 mi. (about 60 km) primarily in Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of the official region of Western Norway (a portion of the valley also sits in neighboring Innlandet County, which is part of the region of Eastern Norway).  The valley is created by the Rauma River as it passes to the Romsdalfjord.  The valley is surrounded by the peaks of the Romsdalsalpane mountains.  

There is definitely something for everyone in this stunning aerial tour of Western Norway, compliments of top contributor and Instagram star PilotViking.  Treat yourself to epic bird's eye views of the mighty Preikestolen (aka the Pulpit Rock), some of the famous fjords, pastoral villages, paragliding, one of the region's distinctive stave churches, and epic waterfalls.  PilotViking has become an Instagram phenomenon with his amazing content from one of the world's most beautiful regions.  

Prepare to be blown away by this drone video of what s generally believed to be Europe's highest waterfall, compliments of Tsmedegard.  Vettisfossen is located in the mountains of western Norway, in Sogn og Fjordane County.  It's a single-drop, plunge-type waterfall, with a top-to-bottom height of 275 meters (just over 900 ft.).  On that basis, it's the tallest waterfall on the European continent.  Vettisfossen can be reached by a few km/mi. hike through the Utladalen Valley from the town of Øvre Årdal.

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk brings us this fantastic aerial view of a mountain in Norway called Store Trolla.  Part of the Trollheimen range, it's located in Møre og Romsdal, the northernmost of the counties of the official region of Western Norway.  Located about 10 km (around 6 mi.) east of the village of Sunndalsøra, the mountain is made up of a number of separate peaks, the highest of which has a summit elevation of about 1.9k meters above sea level (just under 6.1k ft.).  

Behold this amazing drone video of Vøringsfossen, one of Norway's great waterfalls, compliments of contributot Sundsoy.  It's located in the valley of Måbødalen near the town of Eidfjord, in Western Norway.  It's a cascading, plunge-type waterfall with a total drop of 182 meters (just under 600 ft.).  The famous Fossli Hotel sits at the top of the waterfall, considered one of the top tourist destinations in Norway.  The waterfall was known only to locals until being "discovered" early in the 19th century.

Vestland County is the heart of Norway's Western region, the most popular tourist destination in this large Scandinavian country.  Vestland County was formed at the beginning of 2020 with the consolidation of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane Counties.  It's home to Bergen, Norway's second-largest city after Oslo, as well as some of the country's best-known fjords, waterfalls, and mountains.  In this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor dariusly, you'll get an aerial mini-tour of some of Vestland's natural highlights.  

Top AirVuz contributor and pilot dariusly used a DJI Mavic Pro 2 Zoom drone combined with Osmo-stabilized ground camera footage to bring us this fantastic mini-tour of Norway's Vestland County.  Located in Norway's official Western region, Vestland is the country's newest county; it was formed in early 2020 by the amalgamation of  Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane Counties.  It's a stunningly beautiful land of waterfalls, fjords, and other types of natural scenery for which Western Norway is famous.  

Contributor and pilot Mike Miguel used a drone to aerially capture one of the most important bridges in Norway.  The Hardanger Bridge crosses a branch of the Hardanger Fjord in Hordaland County in Western Norway.  It connects the municipalities of Ullensvang and Ulvik, although its primary purpose was to shorten the driving time between the national capital Oslo and Bergen, the country's second largest city.  At 1.4k meters (about 4.5k ft.), it's the longest suspension bridge in Norway.

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk brings us this excellent drone video from a well-known mountain in Western Norway.  Kolåstinden is located in the municipality of Ørsta in Møre og Romsdal, one of Western Norway's main counties, at the convergence of the Romedalen and Standaldalen Valleys.  The mountain has a peak altitude of just under 4.7k ft. above sea level (a little over 1.4k m).  It's part of a range known as the Sunnmørsalpane, which covers the Sunnmøre, the southernmost district of Møre og Romsdal County.  

Check out this magnificent drone video from the fjords of Western Norway, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot YURAN.  The town is located at the end of the Nærøyfjord an 18 km (11 mi.) long but extremely narrow fjord in Sogn og Fjordane County.  Nærøyfjord is an extremely populat tourist destination and it's listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.  The fjord is actually a branch of the Sogn og Fjordane, otherwise known as the King of the Fjords for being the country's largest. 

Here's an amazing drone video of a couple of famous spots in Western Norway, compliments of content creator and pilot Didrikwasson.  The first location is Trolltunga, a rock formation which is in Odda in Hordaland County, one of the counties which make up the region of Western Norway.  The other location is the port city of Bergen, the county's administrative center and Norway's second largest city.   The video beautifully weaves together the two spots, and includes some amazing timelapses.  

Top contributor Brent de Bleser created this jaw dropping drone video from a highly unusual rock formation in Western Norway.  Kjeragbolten is a suspended boulder on Kerag Mountain, near Forsand in Rogaland County.  It was created by a glacial deposit thousands of years ago.  Let's hope it stays there, because it's a long drop from here - almost 1,000 meters (a bit over 3k ft.) to the ground.  The rock is accessible by hiking and it is one of the more popular tourist destinations in Western Norway.  

Check out this stunning 4k drone video of a well-known glacier in Western Norway, compliments of contributor and pilot Allan Crawford.  It's the Nigard Glacier (Nigardsbreen), and it's located in Sogn og Fjordane County.  It currently covers just under 50 square km (just under 20 square mi.) Nigardsbreen is an arm of the Jostedal Glacier (Jostedalsbreen), Europe's largest.  The glacier is named after a farm that was enveloped by the glacier during a period of expansion in the 18th century.  

Check out this beautiful drone video of Norway's best-preserved monastery, compliments of top contributor PilotViking.  It's called the Ulstein Kloster, and it's located on an island of the same name in Rogalund County in the southwestern part of the country.  The monastery dates to the 13th century, and is dedicated to Saint Lawrence.  The complex underwent substantial restoration in the early 20th century and further work on its buildings and grounds was undertaken several decades later.  

Hordaland is one of the counties which comprise the Western Region of Norway.  Its administrative center is the port city of Bergen, Norway's second urban center.  It's also home to Hardangerfjord, Norway's second-largest fjord.  It is a magical place of sparkling mountains and gigantic glaciers which feed into an endlessly long fjord.  Contributor JW Media spent a couple of days in Hordaland with his drone and produced this stunning aerial video of an icy paradise in the heart of Scandinavia.   

For a second upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor Loic White brings us this excellent drone video from Western Norway.  At the :53 mark, there's an epic shot of the Preikestolen ("Pulpit Rock"), a 2k ft. (about 600 m) sheer cliff which drops down to the Lysefjord in Rogalund County.  At around the 3:00 mark, you'll see the Mein Schiff cruise ship, which plies the North Atlantic waters along Norway's western coast.  Other highlights include massive waterfalls, crystal-blue fjords, snowcapped mountains, and more. 

For a first upload to AirVuz, contributor Ekermann Production brings us this marvelous video record of a tour of Western Norway. The video, which features a mix of ground camera and aerial footage, covers the two endpoints of this storied region:  Preikestolen (the great rock formation also known as the "Pulpit Rock") near Stavanger in Rogaland County (close to the southern tip of the country), all the way to the port town of Ålesund in Romsdahl County, the northernmost county of the official Western Norway region.  

You need to check out this incredibly stunning, 4K drone video of northwest Norway. Filmed on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and set to an Allan Watts speech, pilot vegardho takes us to the region around his hometown. The spectacular views of gushing waterfalls, massive fjords, mountain peaks, and picturesque houses reminds us why northern Norway (substantiually all of which lies north of the Arctic Circle) is such a popular destination for drone pilots, adventure seekers, and lovers of the great outdoors. 

Top contributor thedronetrip created this marvelous trip reel from the Western region of Norway.  The video features footage from the following locations: (1) the port city of Bergen in Hordaland County, Norway's second-largest city and the de facto capital of the Western region; (2) Preikeistolen (aka the "Pulpit Rock"), a 600+meter (nearly 2k ft.) cliff overlooking the Lysefjord fjord in Rogaland County; and Geirangerfjord, a fjord in Møre og Romsdal, the northernmost of the Western Norway counties.  

Lysefjord is not Norway's largest fjord, but it's probably the most well known. It lies in Rogaland County, the southernmost of the counties which comprise the Western Norway region.  In this drone video by Prelator, you'll get a bird's eye view of the famous fjord, which is located just to the east of the city (and cruise ship port of call) of Stavanger.  The video was filmed around the head of the fjord and includes footage of the beautiful town of Lysebotn and Kjerag Mountain just to the west of the town on the fjord's south side.  

Check out these lovely aerial views of Western Norway, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot aqua william.  The video was filmed near the town of Åndalsnes in Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of the official Western Norway region.  The town lies along the Isfjorden fjord, which is itself part of the 55 mile (88 km) long Romsdalsfjord.  The area is home to some of the most spectacular natural scenery in all of Scandinavia.  It's part of the Romsdalen valley, home to some of the most spectacular natural scenery in Scandinavia.

Kjeragbolten is one of the world's most famous boulders.  It's wedged into a crevice of a mountain of the same name in Rogaland County of Western Norway.  It is suspended almost a kilometer (about 3.2k ft.) above the ground below, seemingly forever.  The rock was deposited during a glacial cycle which occurred about 50,000 years ago.  The rock is a popular attraction, as is BASE jumping from the cliff here.  Get a bird's eye view of the famous rock, compliments of contributor and drone pilot Børge.

Take an aerial tour of the heart of Western Norway in this fantastic drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot dariusly.  The video was captured flying over Vestland County, one of the main counties of the official region of Western Norway.  The video features excellent aerial footage of the natural wonders of Vestland, which also includes Norway's #2 city, Bergen.   The county is home to some of Scandinavia's best-known fjords, as well as spectacular mountains, gushing waterfalls, and alpine meadows.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist fotoknoff brings us this excellent drone video from the fjords of Western Norway.  The video was filmed in and around the municipality of Rauma in Møre og Romsdal County.  Rauma is home to numerous iconic-looking towns as well as parts of the Romsdalsfjord and Isfjorden.  Situated along the Romsdalen Valley, the area was used as a filming location for the seventh installment of Mission: Impossible 7, the seventh installment of the Tom Cruise series, which was released in 2023.  

Top contributor Uglefisk created this stunning aerial video from atop a well-known mountain in Western Norway.  It's called Blåskjerdingen, and it's located in Møre and Romsdal, the northernmost county of the Western Norway region.  The mountain actually has two separate peaks, one which is more of a plateau.  Both peaks are around 1.06k meters or about 3.5k ft. above sea level, and both are readily accessible to climbers without technical equipment.  The video was shot with a Mavic Pro drone.

Multiple Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk brings us this fantastic drone video from the mountains of Western Norway.  The video was filmed over the Lodalskåpa, a mountain ridge which is mostly covered by the Jostedal Glacier (Jostedalsbreen), the largest in continental Europe.  The ridge has a peak elevation of just over 6.8k ft. above sea level (around 2.1k m).  The ridge is located near the border between the municipalities of  Stryn and Luster in Vestland County.  It's part of the Jostedalsbreen National Park.  

Take a 4k aerial tour of southwestern Norway in this excellent drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Tunnelsen.  The video was filmed in Rogaland County, one of the counties of the country's official Western (Vestlandet) region.  A largely coastal area, it borders Vestland County to the north, Agder County to the south and southeast, and Vestfold og Telemark to the east.  Its capital city, Stavanger, is either the country's third or fourth largest depending on the area counted.  

Hordaland is one of the main counties that make up the official Western Region of Norway.  It lies just to the south of Sogn og Fjordane County and just north of Rogalund County.  It's one of Norway's most populous counties, but about 60% of its inhabitants live in and around the city of Bergen.  In this spectacular drone video by dariusly, you'll get an aerial tour of some of the natural scenery of Hordaland, including some of Norway's most beautiful waterfalls, fjords, valleys, and glaciers.  

This epic drone video by Eric_Avila_Gallardo alternates between two of the most well-known (and beautiful) sights of Western Norway.  The first is the Trolltunga rock formation, a cliff which juts out about 700 meters (around 2.3k ft.) above Lake Ringedalsvatnet in Hordaland County.  The second spot is the port city of Bergen, which is also located in Hordaland County.  The center of a metropolitan area of over 400k, Bergen is the country's second-largest city and the de facto capital of its Western Region.

The great cliff known as Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) is one of the most iconic sights in all of Norway.  Located in the municipality of Strand in Rogalund County in the country's Western region, the cliff rises just over 600 meters (just under 2k ft.) above the Lysefjord fjord.  The cliffs typically see 150k-200k visitors per year, making it one of the most-visited natural sights in this Scandinavian country.  Check out the famous cliff from an aerial perspective in this outstanding drone video by top contributor PilotViking.

While fjords - long, narrow sea inlets formed by glaciers - can be found in various places around the world, they are most closely associated with Norway, particularly the southern half of the country's long western coastline.  In this drone video by AirVuz contributor Charmuel, you'll explore some of this magical natural scenery.  The video features footage from the Sognefjellsvegen scenic road, the Bøverbrean glacier (Krossbu), the Skjervefossen waterfall, the Nærøyfjord, the Geirangerfjord, and the famous Trollstigen road.  

AirVuz contributor and drone pilot dariusly used a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom to create this beautiful aerial view of the mountains of Western Norway.  The spot filmed is in Øvre Eidfjord, a municipality in Hordalund County, one of the main counties of the official Western Norway region.  Øvre Eidfjord is located between the Hardangerfjord to the north and the Hardangervidda National Park.  Situated at the entrance to the Måbødalen Valley, the area is accessible via the Norwegian National Road 7.  

For a first upload to AirVuz, first person view (FPV) pilot fure_fpv brings us this fantastic long-range mountain surfing video from Norway.  The video was filmed in the mountains of Sunnmøre, which is part of Møre og Romsdal County in the region of Western Norway.  Using the DJI Air FPV system, his quad was able to fully explore the rocky mountains surrounding a beautiful alpine lake.  The video features some epic footage skimming along tall ridges which are partially obscured by cloud cover.  

Contributor Tramontohiti used a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced drone to create this magnificent aerial tour of the western region of Norway.  The video will show you the stunning beauty of this land of the fjords.  It's worth watching in its entirety, but one highlight to point out starts at about the :30 mark.  It's an overhead shot of the Preikestolen, the famous mini-plateau in Forsand, which is sometimes known as Pulpit Rock; it's one of the most-visited sites in Norway and has become popular with BASE jumpers.  

Explore Western Norway by first person view (FPV) drone in this excellent travel piece by talented content creator chrisnorway, who returns to AirVuz after a four year hiatus.  The three main areas shown in the video are Stryn, a municipality on the northern edge of Vestland County; Loen, a village just east of Stryn; and Romsdalen, a valley in the neighboring county (to the north) of Møre og Romsdal.  The aerial portions of the video, which also includes ground camera footage, were filmed with a DJI FPV drone.  

Like a number of talented aerial videographers, top contributor chrisnorway has expanded his filming repertoire by mastering first person view (FPV) dones, which requires a much higher level of piloting skills.  In this beautiful video, you will ride along with him in his DJI FPV drone to explore the landscapes of Western Norway.  The video was shot in and around Rogalund County, which covers a section of the southwest Norwegian coast and extends some ways inland.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in June of 2022. 

Enjoy this stunning drone video of Western Norway, courtesy of AirVuz contributor bailongas. The video features excellent footage of the natural phenomena for which the region is known.  Standout locations include: Ryfoss Foss, a waterfall in the Jostedalen; Eidfjord, a municipality and fjord in Hordaland county; Vøringfossen, the 83rd highest waterfall in Norway that lies at the top of Måbødalen; the town of Eidsåsen; and Låtefossen, a unique 165-meter tall waterfall in Skare. 

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk brings us this fantastic drone video of a well-known mountain in Western Norway.  It's called Gjuratinden (also Juratinden), and it's located near the village of Isfjorden in Møre og Romsdal County.  Its peak is at an altitude of about 5.6k ft. above sea level or around 1.7k m.  Its summit can be obtained without the use of rope, although it's recommended for the final 100 ft (around 30 m) or so.  It's part of the Romsdalsalpane mountain range.  

Check out these beautiful drone views from the Norwegian Mountains, compliments of former DVOW Finalist Uglefisk.  The video was shot on Dalmannshornet, a mountain near the town of Brunstadsætra in Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of the official Western Norway region.  Dalmannshornet has a summit elevation of just over 4.8k meters above sea level, or around 1.475k meters.  What the mountain lacks in elevation it makes up for in prominence, being only about a half-dozen miles (around 10 km) from (sea-level) fjords.

Top AirVuz contributor dariusly brings us this marvelous drone video from a Norwegian mountain called Lihesten.  The mountain is situated in the municipality of Hyllestad in Vestland, one of the principal counties of the Western Norway region.  Located on a peninsula between two fjords, Lihestan has a peak elevation of a little over 2.5k ft. above sea level or around 775 meters.  The mountain was the site of a Norwegian Airlines plane crash in 1936, the country's first fatal airline accident, in which seven people were killed.  

Among the ways in which drones are being used to support social causes is in the field of climate change.  Drones are allowing content creators to create powerful messages by showing how profoundly certain parts of the world are changing due to rising global temperatures.  Case in point is this excellent piece by contributor dariusly.  It was filmed in Vestland, a county in Western Norway which went through one of the warmest winters on record in 2019-20; what you see here would ordinarily be under deep snow cover at this time of year.  

The new DJI Mavic Air 2 is the first drone in the Mavic series to be able to shoot 4k at 60 frames per second.  What better use than to use it for an epic dronie from one of Norway's most iconic locations?  AirVuz contributor and pilot Evan-Armas did just that, using this < half kg (about a pound) bird to film his part on the cliff of Norway's Trolltunga Mountain.  Located in Vestland County in the country's Western region, the cliff here lies 700 meters (about 2.3k ft.) over lake Ringedalsvatnet.

Kjerag Mountain in southwestern Norway offers one of the best BASE jumping spots anywhere on earth - from the mountain top it's a nearly 1k meter (3.2k ft) vertical drop to the Lysefjord fjord below.  Pilot Viking filmed an epic BASE jumping session from this hallowed spot (called Preikestolen or "Pulpit Rock"), using a drone to capture some VERY brave BASE jumpers plying their craft.  If that isn't enough, it's got some professional pyrotechnics thrown in to make things even more interesting! 

Check out these marvelous drone views from Western Norway, compliments of AirVuz contributor dariusly.  The video was primarily shot over the Nordhordland District, one of the nine which makes up Vestland County.  Nordhordland occupies the middle section of the western part of the county.  Vestland County is the main county of the Western Norway region.  It was formed at the beginning of 2020 by consolidating  Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane Counties.  It's home to some of the most iconic natural scenery in this Scandinavian Country.  

Prepare to be blown away by this short but epic first person view (FPV) mountain surfing piece from Norway, compliments of AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot chrissbergan.  The video was filmed over a mountain known as the Troll Wall (Trollveggen), which is part of the Store Trolltind massif in Møre og Romsdal, one of the counties of the official Western Norway region.  With a vertical face of about 1.1k meters (around 3.6k ft.) the Troll Wall has the distinction of being the tallest vertical rock face on the continent of Europe.  

Shooting from a tiny islet in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Western Norway, top contributor and drone pilot hopenorway casts his drone up into the air and gives it a big smile.  There are many ways to take a good dronie, but what makes this one baffling is that although he's surrounded by sea water, there's not one drop of water on his knickers. It's one of the reasons why this terrific video was nominated as a Finalist in the Dronies category for the second annual AirVuz Drone Video Awards. 

Take in these beautiful drone views of the mountains of Norway, compliments of multiple Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk.  The video was filmed over and around Store Brekketinden, which has a peak elevation of just under 5.2k ft. above sea level or a little under 1.6k m.  It's the highest mountain in a massif that runs across the Sunnmøre region of Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of Western Norway.  Despite extensive glaciation, the summit of Store Brekketinden can generally be reached without use of rope.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Uglefisk brings us this excellent drone video from Norway's Sunnmøre Alps (Sunnmørsalpane).  The range is named for Sunnmøre, the southernmost district of Møre og Romsdal in the Western Norway region.  The highest peak of the range, Kvitegga, has a maximum elevation of about 5.3k ft. above sea level around 1.6k m and a prominence of 4.3k ft. (1.3k m).  The two mountains shown in the video, which was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro 3 drone, are Kjerringa and Svinetinden.    

Western Norway is home to some of the world's most spectacular natural scenery.  With its majestic mountains, glistening fjords, roaring waterfalls, and alpine meadows, this region is one of Europe's top tourist destinations, and for good reason.  In this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor and pilot Lervik FPV, you'll get a highly cinematic perspective of the area around Jordalsgrenda in Møre og Romsdal County.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in September, 2021.  

Check out these spectacular drone views of one of the world's most famous fjords, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot llmars.  The video was filmed over and around the town of Lysebotn, Norway, which lies at the eastern end of the 26 mi. long (42 km) Lysefjord in Rogalund County on the country's western coast.  The video includes some great shots of the winding mountain road FV500, which ascends from the fjord up to Kjerag Mountain.  At about the 1:00 mark, there's a nice shot looking westwards down the fjord's length.

Take a cruise along the coast of Norway in this epic first person view (FPV) piece by AirVuz contributor fure_fpv.  Using a long-range setup, he takes an 8 km (roughly 5 mi.) flight on the coast of the island of Godøya.  Godøya is part of the municipality of Ålesund in Møre og Romsdal, one of the main counties of the official Western Norway region.  The video features some excellent footage skimming along the mountains which run parallel to the coastline.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in January, 2021.  

Check out these beautiful drone views of iconic Norwegian scenery, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot dariusly.  The video was shot over Vestland County, which was created at the beginning of 2020 with the consolidation of Hordaland and most of Sogn og Fjordane Counties.  Vestland is the heart of the official region of Western Norway, the country's most popular for tourism.  Its territory includes most of the country's most well-known fjords as well as the city of Bergen, Norway's second-largest after Oslo.  

Check out this fantastic first person view (FPV) mountain surfing piece from Norway, compliments of contributor and FPV pilot Lervik FPV.  Using an FPV mini-quad, he tackled the Åbittinden and Trolltinden peaks, both of which are located near the village of Jordalsgrenda in the municipality of Sunndal, part of the western county Møre og Romsdal.  Trolltind is the taller of the two peaks; it has a summit elevation of 5.85k ft. above sea level or around 1.8k m.  Abittenden is around 1.4k ft. shorter (around 400 m) than its taller cousin.  

In this excellent piece, talented AirVuz contributor and pilot nayya2006 continues his series of drone videos from the fjordlands of Western Norway.  Created by glaciers, these long, narrow inlets represent some of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.  The video features some outstanding footage of these wonders of nature, as well as the Jotunheimen (part of the Scandinavian Mountains, ultimately the source of the fjord-creating glaciers), iconic stave churches, and more.  

Top AirVuz contributor dariusly brings us this stunning drone video from one of the most scenic areas in Norway.  The video was filmed over Vestland County,  Vestland County was formed in 2020 as an amalgamation of Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane, two of the main counties of the official Western Norway region.  Vestland County is home to the city of Bergen (Norway's #2 urban center) as some of Scandinavia's finest natural scenery, which is in full display in this video.  This was shot with a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom drone.  

The new DJI Mavic Air 2 is the first drone in the Mavic series to be able to shoot 4k at 60 frames per second.  What better use than to use it for an epic dronie from one of Norway's most iconic locations?  AirVuz contributor and pilot Evan-Armas did just that, using this < half kg (about a pound) bird to film his party on the cliff of Norway's Trolltunga Mountain.  Located in Vestland County in the country's Western region, the cliff here lies 700 meters (about 2.3k ft.) over lake Ringedalsvatnet.

AirVuz contributor nayyar2006 brings us the third installment of his series of drone videos from the fjordlands of Western Norway.  Created by glaciers, these long, narrow inlets represent some of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.  The video features some great footage of the Nærøyfjord, an 11 mi. long (18 km) fjord which is a branch of the Sognefjord in Vestland County.  The Sognefjord is known as the "King of Fjords" in Norway as it's the longest and deepest in the country.    

Leave it to the PilotViking to capture some of the most intense aerial footage above the cliffs of Western Norway.  The aerial footage he captured at the Kjerag mountain range contains chilling views of BASE jumpers and slack-liners dropping down to the Lysefjord below.  Watch as these fearless adventurers take the leaps of a lifetime in this drone video.  This video was voted as the winner of the Sports category by vote of the AirVuz contributor community for the first Annual Drone Video Awards.

In this segment of Drone Dish, host Tyler Mason catches up with Grim Berge, one of the top aerial videographers in Europe.  Hailing from Norway, he was nominated for the Drone Video Awards in each of its first two seasons, "Summer is Coming" for the first and "Discover Norway: A 100 Day Journey" for the second.  Having started flying back in 2012 with custom-made drones, Grim is a wealth of aerial filming knowledge, and his work has been featured in numerous TV shows, movies, and commercials.
