FJORDS FOCUS
NORWAY / LETTER FROM AMERICA
From Mission: Impossible to Succession, the stunning landscapes of western Norway have captured the hearts - and. imaginations - of film and TV directors alike. And it’s not hard to see why...

Screen scenes The stunning Geirangerfjord
Mountain glaciers, precipitous cliff edges ... backdrops like these are a gift to film and TV directors. So it's little surprise that the spectacular scenery around the fjords and coast of western Norway is increasingly finding its way on to our screens - most recently in the series Succession, starring Brian Cox.
Filming for season 4 of the show, about a business mogul and his scheming offspring, took place around Storfjord and Romsdalsfjord, as well as on the Atlantic Ocean Road, which connects several islands off the west Norwegian coast. In particular, the modernist, forest-set Juvet Landscape Hotel - in the mass of land between the two fjords - was used as a location, as it was in the futuristic 2014 film Ex Machina.
