Fjell is a municipality in the county of Hordaland, Norway. Hordaland is a county in Norway, bordering Sogn og Fjordane, Buskerud, Telemark and Rogaland. ...

The municipality consists of several islands west of Bergen, the major ones being Litle-Sotra, Sotra (the northern part) Bjorøy and Turøy. Due to the construction of the mainland bridge (Sotrabroen) in 1971 and its proximity to Bergen, Norway, the population has grown from less than 7,000 to almost 20,000, and it is presently the Norwegian municipality with the highest growth rate. The result is major traffic jams over the bridge every day. A highway that leads to the town centre of Bergen has reduced the traveling time to only fifteen minutes from the community centre at Straume on Litle-Sotra.
