3-Day Bergen to Oslo Fjord Tour — Flåm Railway, Nærøyfjord & Hardangerfjord
Select participants and date
You step onto damp cobbles in Bergen before dawn and feel the city inhale the fjord air. Your guide eases the van out of the harbor and, within an hour, the urban outline thins to cliffs, orchards, and ribboned waterfalls that seem to pour straight from the mountains into the sea. Over three days this private tour pulls you through Norway’s most dramatic geography: the bridge-stretched Hardangerfjord, the vertiginous swoop of the Flåm Railway, and the narrow, UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord where the cliffs rise like walls.

Adventure Tips
Dress in layers and pack a waterproof
Fjord weather changes quickly; a breathable waterproof shell and a warm midlayer keep you comfortable during boat crossings and short hikes.
Reserve train seats early for Flåmsbana
The Flåm Railway is extremely popular—confirm schedules and seat reservations, especially in summer, to avoid long waits.
Carry a small daypack only
Hotels are included and luggage moves by vehicle—bring a light pack for cameras, snacks, and a water bottle for on-route stops.
Be flexible with itinerary in winter
If trails are closed by snow, the guide will prioritize viewpoints and scenic drives instead of hikes—trust the local judgment.

History
The region’s stave churches date to the 12th century and reflect a blend of Norse craft and medieval Christian traditions; the fjords themselves were carved by glaciers over the last Ice Age.
Conservation
Traffic and cruise activity stresses fjord ecosystems—stick to marked paths, avoid disturbing wildlife, and support local guides who follow low-impact practices.
