FOR ACTIVE TRAVELERS!

 

Standard Tour from Bergen


3 days / 2 nights, Bergen - Voss - Myrdal - Gudvangen - Flåm Railway - Bergen

Departures: May 01 - Sep 30, 2009

Flam & Naeroyfjord scenes, Destination Flam Norway

 Your active adventure includes many highlights of the fjords and famous Norway in a Nutshell route. Start from

 Bergen, travel by rail up the Raundal Valley to the remote Myrdal station. Change to the Flåm Railway, the

 steepest mountain line in Northern Europe, and descend to Berekvam Station where the action begins!
 At Berekvam you leave the crowd behind and jump on a MOUNTAIN BIKE! Our guide will lead the way, giving you

 insight into this amazing valley, making sure you don't miss the best viewpoints and will be at hand in case of  break-

 downs. This fun downhill ride will take you to the picturesque village of Flåm at the shores of the Aurland Fjord.
 At Flåm you then swap bike for boat, in the form of a Fast RIB boat on a fjord Safari round to Gudvangen. This is a

 journey through World Heritage areas of Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord to the village of Gudvangen. From Gudvangen

 you will drive through the spectacular Nærøydalen and up the hair-pin bends of the steep Stalheim Canyon road, back

 to Voss and return to Bergen.
