Across the Roof of Norway with Flåm

The Bergensbanen is one of the great rail journeys of the world: Europe’s highest railway line climbs up to 4000 feet across the barren, snow flecked Hardangervidda mountain plateau before descending through lush valleys to the coast. You can enjoy it in a single day, stop off in the mountains or take the Flåm mountain spur down to the Sognefjord.
 
Oslo
Oslo has undergone a transformation, which started with the opening of the new Opera House and regeneration of the now cosmopolitan waterfront. Still paying homage to its maritime roots the city blends old with new whilst blending with the surrounding fjord, hills and forest. Don’t miss the Viking Ship Museum or the Vigeland Sculpture Park.
Flåm
Situated in the deepest part of the Aurlandsfjord and surrounded by steep mountainsides, cascading waterfalls and deep valleys, Flåm is a perfect place to pause and soak up the atmosphere of this idyllic location. There are walks to suit all and the Flåmsbana museum is well worth a visit.
Bergen
Situated in the heart of Fjord Norway, this charming Hanseatic harbour town nestles in the embrace of its seven mountains and a lattice of fjords. Bryggen, the medieval quayside, and Troldhaugen, the home of Edvard Grieg, are probably the best known attractions. The view from the top of Mount Fløyen on a clear day is breathtaking.
DAY 1 Oslo
Fly to Oslo and self-transfer to your chosen hotel for 2 nights. We recommend the Clarion Collectin Hotel Bastion (standard) or The Thief (superior).
DAY 2 Oslo
Explore the capital. Stroll along the regenerated waterfront. Walk on the roof of the architecturally acclaimed Opera House. Delve into Arctic Polar expedition history with a visit to the Fram Polar Ship museum or visit the Norwegian Folk Museum.
DAY 3 Flåm
Depart on the famous Oslo – Bergen railway, travelling as far as Flåm, where you break your journey for an overnight stay in this charming village. Take a leisurely walk through the hamlet, browse the Flåmsbana Museum and replenish your batteries with some fresh mountain air. A spectacular panorama can be experienced from the Steigestein viewpoint. Overnight at Flåmsbrygga Hotel (standard) or the Freitheim Hotel (superior).
DAY 4 Bergen
Resume your journey to Bergen starting with a fjord cruise from Flåm to Gudvangen, travelling along the Naerøyfjord, which has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. You will continue by coach down the spectacular 13 hairpin bends of Stalheimsleiva before arriving in Voss and taking the final leg into Bergen by train. Self-transfer to your hotel for 2 nights. We recommend the Thon Hotel Rosenkrantz, Bergen (standard) or the Clarion Collection Hotel Havnekontoret (superior). Both are positioned in the historic centre of Bergen
DAY 5 Bergen
There are plenty of attractions in this Hanseatic town. Bryggen, Mount Fløyen and the fish market all contribute to this colourful and lively destination.
Day 6 UK
