Oslo, Bergen & Aurland Adventure 

Fly to Oslo, transfer by flytoget (airport express train) to Oslo S Station which is located close to your hotel. Your central location means you are within easy reach of Oslo’s main attractions, including a variety of excellent restaurants, bars and cafes. Why not let us book you a table at one of our favourites?

Oslo is continuing to have something of a renaissance with the neighbourhood of Tjuvholmen and Oslo's Opera House injecting an edgy and contemporary energy into the city. Contrasting nicely are some of the city's most well-loved cultural attractions including Vigeland Sculpture Park and the Munch museum, for a close up with 'The Scream'. On Bygdøy peninsula you will also find Fram Museum and the Kon-Tiki Museum with Aker Brygge, the old harbour, being a great place to stroll or perhaps join a lunch cruise out onto the Oslofjord.

Enjoy a spectacular day on the Bergen Line and Flåm Mountain railways. Bergen Line is Northern Europe's highest stretch of railway, and crosses both the Langfjellene mountains and the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The 20 kms long, Flåm Mountain Railway then descends via a serpentine track from mountain to fjord; the track took 20 years to build and is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. See rivers, deep ravines, cascading waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, and remote mountain farms. Transfer to your boutique hotel - a former fishing lodge - for the next three nights.

Visit Stegastein viewpoint for a stunning view of the Aurlandsfjord, followed by a visit to the hand crafters in Aurland village. Stretch your legs for your hike up to a summer pasture farm, the traditional summer grazing ground for livestock and where farmers traditionally made cheese. Enjoy a delicious, organic lunch in rustic surroundings, with an amazing view. Return to the hotel, where the wood-fired hot tub and sauna awaits.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll or cycle down to the fjord, followed by a kayaking. Paddle along the beautiful Aurlandsfjord possibly spotting seals, otters or porpoises playing in the fjord. Your paddle includes areas of rich fjord history and your guide will provide lots of insight into the ancient history of the area and the unique nature of the fjord. Enjoy a packed lunch in beautiful surroundings before returning to Aurland, with the remainder of the day free to relax in the hot-tub and sauna and perhaps take a short walk to the local farm shop.

Transfer to Flåm, where you will depart on an environmental sightseeing boat for a fjord cruise along the Aurlands and Nærøy fjords to tiny village of Gudvangen. Your journey now continues by  bus through the Nærøy Valley - climbing the serpentine bends of Stalheimskleivi - to the lakeside village of Voss where you continue by train to Bergen. Your hotel is located in the harbour area of the city, in close proximity to Fisketorget (the fish market) and Bryggen (the old Hanseatic harbour). Bergen's popular shopping streets, bars and restaurants are all on the doorstep.

Today, you have a full day to explore Norway’s second largest city. Bergen boasts a number of excellent museums and galleries, or if you prefer to be outside you can take a guided walking tour of the city and surrounding mountains. There is a cable car to the summit of Mount Ulriken and a funicular railway to the summit of Mount Fløyen - both provide spectacular views of the city and North Sea and offer marked hiking routes as an alternative return to the city. It is also possible to join a fjord cruise, departing from the harbour directly in front of your hotel.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel, before taking the handy airport bus from the city centre to Bergen Airport for your flight home.
