Select participants and date
A low morning sun slices between fjord walls as the guide steers the van out of Bergen, the city’s slate roofs shrinking behind you and the Atlantic air tugging at the windows. For three days, Norway rearranges your sense of scale: waterfalls that roar like engines, sheer cliffs dropping into water so still it holds a mirror image of the sky, and villages where wooden houses watch the tide. The trip trades airport bustle for coastal roads, short ferries, and one-night comforts in towns like Voss and Flåm.

Adventure Tips
Pack for layers
Weather changes quickly in fjord country—bring a waterproof shell, fleece mid-layer, and base layers you can shed while hiking.
Comfortable trekking shoes
Expect gravel, rock and muddy trails on hikes like Prest and Preikestolen; ankle support and good tread matter.
Bring snacks and cash
Lunches are often in small villages or picnic-style; carry snacks and some Norwegian kroner for remote shops.
Reserve Flåm Railway early
If you want the Flåmsbana seat included, request it at booking—space can be limited in high season.
