Itinerary

Admission included20 min

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. In the late 1990s the water at Tvindefossen acquired a reputation for rejuvenation and revival of sexual potency that made it one of the most important natural tourist attractions in western Norway, with as many as 200,000 people a year from the U.S., Japan and Russia visiting and filling containers with the water. At one point it was Norway's ninth most visited natural attraction, with 272,000 visitors.

Pass by

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 Nærøyfjorden. The highway runs through a series of tunnels to descend into the valley. The Stalheimsfossen waterfall is the most notable sight in the area and the amazing view from Stalheim hotel is well-known from several paintings.

Admission included30 min

Viking Valley is located in Gudvangen - in the heart of the unique fjord landscape in the Nærøyfjord, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Here we find the Viking town of Njardarheimr, which breathes new life into the history and culture of the Viking Age. The gates are open to anyone interested in experiencing and learning about the Vikings and how they lived, worked and influenced the world around them. Here you can move between the houses and become part of a living city - an international community of Viking enthusiasts.

Admission included60 min

The Nærøyfjord is a narrow fjord in the municipality of Aurland in Sogn og Fjordane county 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.

60 min

Aurlandsfjord 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.

Admission included10 min

Kjosfossen waterfall is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway. Its total fall is around 225 metres (738 ft). There is a small power station on the waterfall which is used to power the Flåm Line railway.

Admission included60 min

The Bergen Railway is a 496 kilometres (308 mi) long scenic standard gauge railway line between Bergen and Oslo. It is the highest mainline railway line in Northern Europe, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1,237 metres (4,058 ft) above sea level. The railway opened from Bergen to Voss in 1883 as the narrow Voss gauge line. In 1909 the route was continued over the mountain to Oslo and the whole route converted to standard gauge and the Voss Line became part of the Bergen Line. The line is single track and was electrified in 1954-64. The Flåm Railway remains as the only branch line, after the closure of the Hardanger Line.

Admission included60 min

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.

Nice tour but to expensive for what you get

Cost of the tour is much higher than the value to do the tour. The package should be about $500 at a max for what you get

Nice views all the time, take umbrella with you, Tracy was great

Tracy - our tour guide was great: funny, knowledgeable, courteous. Even with rain the tour was great. WiFi was not working on the bus, but was working on the ship and on regular Vy train from Voss to Myrdal. Drive on the bus was smooth and easy.

A fantastic one day trip to Flåm.

This was a very well organised tour with our guide Lorenzo and driver Paul doing a fantastic job of keeping us on time and on track for the next phase of the tour. Lorenzo gave a great run down of the tour as we headed to Vos and then a lot of history to Norway. The Flåm railway is spectacular and well worth doing as was the fjord cruise with sensational scenery and waterfalls. The Viking village was good but not the highlight. Even though the tour is long, time seemed to go quickly and not a lot of walking required. Overall a very worthwhile trip and value for money.

A more thoughtful planned excursion

This excursion included a visit to the Viking village and a separate waterfall. Both of these could have been excluded and shortened a very long day.
