Itinerary
Start your journey from Bergen by boarding a train for a spectacular ride along the world-famous Bergen Railway to the adventure capital of Norway – Voss. Then on a scenic bus ride, you will travel from Voss through villages and breath-taking landscapes towards the old Viking village Gudvangen. During the summer period (May to September), the bus goes all the way down the famous steep hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva.

In Gudvangen you will board a cruise boat and will then depart to see two fjords that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Nærøyfjord is the longest fjord in Norway, it is one of the inner branches of the Sognefjord and it is only 500 meters wide in some parts. Aurlandsfjord is considered one of the Sognefjord’s wildest and most spectacular branches due to its magnificent and picturesque views with tall mountains overlooking the fjord.

At the end of the boat ride along the UNESCO fjords, you will arrive at the village of Flam where you will get off the cruise boat to get on your next adventure on the famous Flam railway (Flam – Myrdal), considered one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. Enjoy the very best of  Norway’s natural beauty and picturesque scenery. Upon arrival at Myrdal, board the Bergen Railway train to Bergen.
