Meet your tour escort after breakfast and walk to the train station, where you will board a train towards Myrdal. A mountain railway station and junction, Myrdal is located about 13 km from Flam village. Here you will board the famous Flamsbana – one of the steepest train lines in the world. The train journey runs through fantastic nature, past the Rallar road, steep mountains, breath-taking waterfalls, through 20 tunnels and offers so many viewpoints that many feel like travelling multiple times between the mountain and the fjord. Arrive in Flam, walk to the hotel and check in. Rest of the day at leisure to explore.

Witness Naeroyfjord in its full winter glory. The narrow and spectacular Naeroyfjord is surrounded by steep mountains with snow covered tops that stretch up to 1800 meters above sea level. Water falls cascade down the mountains and picturesque villages dot the landscape. This is an area that is featured on the UNESCO world heritage list and is considered one of the world’s most beautiful fjord landscapes. You start the Fjord Cruise trip from Flam. The roundtrip is a combination of cruise and a shuttle bus that takes you back to where you started. (You can upgrade your Fjord cruise to rib boat with extra cost.)

Enjoy a last minute walk through the frozen village. Or join our optional tour for snow shoes (additional cost) and experience the beautiful morning light from high above the fjord! Departure by train to Bergen – the world heritage city. Bergen is the Gateway to the Fjords of Norway. As a UNESCO World Heritage City and a European City of Culture, the Bergen region has the ideal combination of nature, culture and exciting urban life all year around.

Enjoy time at leisure to explore the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bergen.
