About this tour:
Your Bergen day trip to fjords begins with a pick-up at the Tourist Information Office in the city center by a premium Mercedes minibus.
Enjoy picturesque views of the Norwegian countryside from the windows of your minibus as you approach the first stop — the charming village of Dale. Here, you can savor a short coffee break or indulge in delicious pastries. Afterward, you will make a stop near the spectacular Tvindefossen, a waterfall that features a drop of 116 meters and the history of which is surrounded by myths and legends.
Next, arrive at the beautiful village of Gudvangen, nestled in a lush, green valley on the shore of the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. Gudvangen is home to the recreated Viking Village, where visitors can witness the lives of Nordic warriors from centuries past and partake in traditional Viking activities, including axe throwing, archery, and crafts — from woodworking and blacksmithing to leatherworking and jewelry making. Travelers can also enjoy lunch in this authentic, picturesque place.
Following a guided tour of the impressive historic village, board a silent, electric ferry for the true highlight — a majestic cruise from Gudvangen to Flåm. Nærøyfjord, the most beautiful stretch of the Sognefjord, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering an unforgettable experience. As you cruise these tranquil waters, surrounded by towering peaks, observe cascading waterfalls and tiny villages nestled along the shore, including the picturesque Undredal.
The cruise concludes in the beautiful mountain town of Flåm, where you will board the legendary Flåm Railway train. Flåmsbana, the world’s steepest standard-gauge railway, is considered by many the world’s most scenic train ride. It traverses picturesque green valleys and pauses near the roaring Kjosfossen waterfall, where travelers are presented with a short, memorable show featuring Huldra, a seductive forest creature from Scandinavian folklore.
The train journey comes to an end in Myrdal, a small mountain village, where you will hop on a connecting train back to Bergen — a perfect way to conclude your Bergen to fjords day trip.
