Sognefjord in a Nutshell Tour

 This unique excursion takes you through some of the most picturesque scenery in the fjord region of  Norway!

 It combines spectacular train rides and an equally impressive cruise through the mighty Sogne Fjord, deepest and

 longest fjord in the world. Leave Oslo on the scenic Bergenbanen across snow capped mountains of the Hardanger

 Vidda, via Geilo and Finse to Myrdal. Ride on the world famous Flåm Railway, descending to the wild Flåm Valley

 to Flåm, passing steep mountain cliffs, waterfalls and quaint villages. Continue with a spectacular cruise through the

 Sogne Fjord, approx. 125 miles out to the west coast of Norway, and through the archipelago surrounding Bergen.

 A combination of trains and cruise providing magnificent scenery of Mountains, Flam Valley, Fjord and Sea!

 

 A choice of 3 itineraries is available, offering optional direction of travel. The tour can be completed in one day or you

 can you can stop off along the selected railway. Should you wish to spend more time in the Fjord Region, we highly

 recommend overnight stays in Flam at the lovely Fretheim Hotel, or in Balestrand at the historic Kvikne's Hotel, or the

 Balestrand Pension prior to the cruise to Bergen.
