I'd say so Griff.
To get one further away we would have to visit the Antipodean contingent. Or our friends in the States.

parked up prior to visiting this 12th century Viking church, made entirely of wood, a World Heritage site.

Looking back down the highest road in Europe (2,000m+) from which you can see the sea, back to the little village where the cruise liners come in, all the passengers then being taken up the road for the views. Having driven from Leknes over Norangsdalen to Hellesylt, we got the worlds most expensive car ferry to Geiranger and stayed the night in a very nice holiday cabin. Following morning we left at 7:00am and drove the Trolls ladder to Dalsnibba (twice - absolutely EPIC). Back through Geiranger and over Eidsdalen (Eagles road) to Eidsdal for the first ferry of the day.

top of the mountain,

Gaustabanen is a funicular deep inside the mountain Gaustatoppen. Started by the Germans during WW2 and unfinished in 1945, it was subsequently taken over by NATO.
As the Cold War threat from Russia receded, it opened to the public for the first time for testing in 2004, these tests lasted until 2007, during which time it was only open for a few days each year.
In 2008 the Norwegian government finally signed an agreement with the NATO/Norwegian Armed Forces, and Gaustabanen opened for as a tourist operation in 2010.
The views are breath taking, as is the cold, at nearly 6000ft altitude!!
