When to go
June-September is the strongest overall window for a mixed valley, fjord and hiking holiday, not a guaranteed water-activity season.
Best overall window
Most coherent window for the valley road trip, summer walking and published fjord-kayak departures, although rain and wind still occur.
Outside that window
Short daylight, winter snow and slide-related road disruption or uncertain spring reopening. No casual lake-water schedule should be assumed.
Start with the overall answer, then switch only when scuba, freedive, snorkel, or topside timing changes the trip in a meaningful way.
