Description

After pick-up in Bergen we start the journey to Flåm, and in the summer months we drive through Stalheim and down the 1,5 km long road section that winds down Nærøydalen. Well ahead in Flåm we board the RIB for a fjordsafari on Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord. We use open RIB boats with a maximum of 12 guests, ensuring a personal experience with our guides and a chance to get close to small villages and waterfalls along the way. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, stories and history shared by your personal guide. We take you closer to nature and look out for seals, porpoises, and eagles along the way. We will provide you with all the necessary gear for a safe and comfortable experience on the fjords. This includes floatation suit, life vest, hat, gloves, and goggles. Back in Flåm, the trip continues with the Flåm Railway which is one of the world's steepest railway. At Myrdal station, a train changes to the Bergen Railway which takes you to Voss. From Voss the tour goes back to Bergen by car.

Itinerary
  • Voss

    Voss is a municipality in Vestland county, located in the heart of Fjord Norway - just over an hour from Bergen, and in the middle between the Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. When visiting Voss, prepare to be amazed by the contrasts. One moment it`s all about the adrenaline ‭and amazing activities, the next about relaxing in the finest of natural landscapes. Throughout the ‭whole year Voss offers a large assortment of activities that you can choose from.  Voss is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and fast-flowing whitewater rivers. This has led to its development as a notable center of skiing, watersport, skydiving, paragliding and other adventure sports. Every year in the last week of June the area hosts the Extreme Sports Week, which is regarded as the world's premier extreme sport festival. The town's proximity to the Sognefjord and its position between Bergen and Flåm on the scenic railway have made it popular with tourists. 

  • Tvindefossen

    Tvindefossen is a waterfall near Voss on the road to Flåm. The many-stranded 110 meters high waterfall is formed by a small stream, the Kroelvi, tumbling over a receding cliff. It is famous for its beauty and many stop here to admire it. 

  • Stalheim

    The small village of Stalheim lies along the highway in the northeastern part of the Voss municipality. The village sits at a high point in the inner part of the Nærøydal valley which leads northeastwards towards the Nærøyfjord. The highway runs through a series of tunnels to descend into the valley. Dramatic mountain scenery and thundering waterfalls on both sides of the road makes a big impression on most visitors. The Stalheimsfoss and Sivlefoss waterfalls are the most notable sights in the area, and the view from Stalheim hotel is well-known from several paintings.   

  • Nærøyfjord

    The Nærøyfjord is a narrow fjord in the municipality of Aurland and is a branch of the large Sognefjord. The 18-kilometre (11 mi) long fjord is only 250metres (800 ft) wide in some parts. The river Nærøydalselvi flows down the valley Nærøydalen into the fjord at the village of Gudvangen. Since 2005, the Nærøyfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it has also been rated by National Graphic Society as the world's number one natural heritage site.

  • Aurlandsfjord

    Aurlandsfjord is a fjord in Vestland county. The fjord flows through the municipalities of Auland, Vik and Lærdal. The 29-kilometre (18 mi) long fjord is a branch off of the main Sognefjorden, Norway's longest fjord. The fjord is deep and narrow, reaching a depth of about 962 metres (3,156 ft) and its width is generally less than 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide. About 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) south of the mouth of the fjord, the Nærøyfjord branches off from it to the west. The village of Flåm sits at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord; other villages along the fjord are Aurlandsvangen and Undredal. Most of the fjord is surrounded by up to 1,800-metre (5,900 ft) tall, steep mountains with little habitation along the fjord except for in a few small valleys.

  • Flåm Railway

    Flåm Railway is a 20.2-kilometer (12.6 mi) long railway line between Flåm and Myrdal. A branch line of the Bergen Line, it runs through the valley of Flåmsdalen and connects the mainline with Sognefjorden. The line's elevation difference is 866 meters (2,841 ft); it has ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 percent (1:18). Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flåm Line is now almost exclusively a tourist service and has become the third-most visited tourist attraction in Norway. Construction of the line started in 1924, with the line opening in 1940. It allowed the district of Sogn access to Bergen and Oslo via the Bergen Line. Electric traction was taken into use in 1944.

  • Kjosfossen Waterfall

    Kjosfossen waterfall is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway. Its total fall is around 225 metres (738 ft) and here is a small power station on the waterfall which is used to power the Flåm Line railway. The waterfall is located about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) northeast of Myrdal Station and Flåm Railway passes directly in front of and over the upper part of the waterfall. During the main tourist season in the summer an actress dressed as a legendary Huldra (a seductive forest creature in Scandinavian folklore) dances and sings in front of the waterfall as the trains enter the station for the amusement of the tourists.
