Tour Program
Meeting point: Strandkaien 17 (next to the Express Boats)
Our bus, driver, and tour guide will be ready approximately 15 minutes before departure.
The drive from Bergen offers stunning landscapes, with views of the beautiful Osterfjord and fascinating stories from your guide along the way.
After about an hour, we make a short stop — a chance to stretch your legs and use the restroom. When opening hours allow, the break is arranged at Dalegard Outlet, a welcoming café and shop offering a variety of quality products from different suppliers at reduced prices.
About thirty minutes later, we drive through Voss — a charming town in the heart of Western Norway — before the scenery becomes even more dramatic as we approach majestic mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and one of Norway’s most beautiful fjords.
Tvindefossen is an impressive waterfall, dropping 116 meters in multiple streams that cascade beautifully down the cliff.
A local legend claims that its waters have rejuvenating powers, adding a touch of mystery to this spectacular natural attraction. Over the years, Tvindefossen has become one of Norway’s well-known waterfalls, attracting thousands of visitors.
Tvindefossen is just as impressive in winter. As temperatures drop, parts of the waterfall freeze into spectacular ice formations. On clear winter days, with fresh snow surrounding the falls, the ice sparkles beautifully in the sunlight, creating an entirely different but equally memorable experience.
Gudvangen is a beautiful and authentic village nestled deep within the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, surrounded by dramatic Norwegian nature.
With towering mountains and cascading waterfalls rising around it, the village offers a peaceful and charming atmosphere and a wonderful setting in which to experience the fjord landscape.
Now we board the boat that takes us onto the Nærøyfjord – one of Norway’s most beautiful and dramatic fjords.
With steep mountain walls, narrow passages, cascading waterfalls and spectacular scenery, the cruise offers a peaceful and unforgettable way to experience the Norwegian fjord landscape.
The Nærøyfjord is a branch of the Sognefjord and stretches for about 17 kilometres, with mountains rising up to 1,800 metres above sea level. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is recognised for its exceptional natural landscape.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the unspoiled scenery around you.
Nestled at the end of the spectacular Aurlandsfjord, Flåm is one of Norway’s most charming fjord villages and a gateway to some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. Surrounded by steep mountains, waterfalls and crystal-clear waters, Flåm offers a wonderful taste of Fjord Norway.
During your stay, you will have free time to explore Flåm at your own pace. The amount of free time varies depending on the season and the boat and train timetables. Take a stroll along the waterfront, visit local shops, enjoy the beautiful views, or simply relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. For those interested in local culture and history, there are also several attractions within easy walking distance.
Flåm is also a great place to enjoy a meal or a light refreshment before continuing your journey. You’ll find a selection of cafés and restaurants, including places serving local Norwegian specialties, many surrounded by beautiful fjord and mountain scenery.
The Flåm Railway is one of the world’s most scenic train journeys and a true highlight of any visit to Fjord Norway. Your journey begins in the charming fjord village of Flåm, where the train climbs through spectacular mountain scenery to Myrdal, a mountain station connected to the Bergen Railway.
Along the way, you will travel through steep valleys, past towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls and dramatic mountain landscapes. The railway climbs almost 900 metres over just 20 kilometres, making it one of the steepest standard-gauge railway lines in the world.
One of the highlights of the journey is a short stop at the magnificent Kjosfossen Waterfall, where passengers can step off the train and experience the powerful waterfall up close.
At Myrdal, you will transfer to the Bergen Railway for the final part of your journey back to Bergen. The connecting train departs from the adjacent platform, making the transfer quick and straightforward.
Together, these two railway journeys offer an unforgettable combination of dramatic nature, remarkable engineering and some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer.
Myrdal Station is a small mountain station.
Myrdal has no road connection, so the railway is the only means of transport to and from the station.
The Bergen Railway will take us onwards to Bergen city centre. The first section of the journey, from Myrdal to Voss, descends from the mountains through narrow valleys and past small local communities.
On the stretch between Voss and Bergen, the railway passes through numerous tunnels that protect the line from landslides along the steep mountainsides. This naturally limits the views somewhat during the final part of the journey. Since you travelled the same route by bus earlier in the day, this is a perfect opportunity to sit back, relax, and reflect on the day's impressions and experiences.
You return to Bergen’s main train station with plenty of wonderful memories — the perfect end to a day combining spectacular fjords, mountains, waterfalls and one of the world’s most scenic railway journeys, all in one unforgettable experience.
