Piece together the incredible beauty of a steep-sided valley in Norway with this Times-exclusive jigsaw puzzle. From the soaring mountains, lush forests and meandering Otra River, to the small farms, hayfields and grazing sheep, this puzzle puts a picturesque countryside at your fingertips.
This puzzle shows Setesdal Valley, featured in the Travel article “A Norwegian Valley Struggles for Cultural Survival,” published July 28, 2019. The image was taken by Alejandro Villanueva, on assignment for The Times.
“The heart of the narrow valley is less than 100 miles from the southern city of Kristiansand, a thriving port and a popular summer destination for tourists,” wrote Sarah Pollock. “The valley’s southern end is marked by a huge fjord that abuts steep cliffs. Further north, vertical rock faces that ascend nearly 2,000 feet above the valley floor draw climbers from all over Europe, one of the attractions the valley has begun to promote.”
Whether you’re a master puzzle enthusiast or a budding puzzler, this puzzle will challenge and inspire as you build this remote Norwegian valley piece by piece. The puzzle is available in two sizes. The 500-piece puzzle (13" x 19") is a popular, challenging jigsaw for all ages while the 1,000-piece puzzle (19" x 27") has similar-size pieces and provides hours of entertainment.
Perfect for a rainy day or when entertaining friends and family, each puzzle is made of sturdy 1.6mm-thick chipboard. It is produced using advanced puzzle-making equipment in Vermont and comes gift boxed.
