The Kingdom of Fjords and Glaciers 8BA

Norway

Luscious green valleys lined with powerful rivers and waterfalls take you right into the heart of Norway

There are not many places comparable to the scenic landscape which awaits you in Norway’s fjordland. We start our journey in Bergen, an enchanting and vivid cultural metropolis. From here, we will ride along the world-famous and spectacular train line towards the giant Sognefjord.

A cruise on the narrow Fjaerland fjord, along the Jostedalbreen glacier, takes us further North to the amazing natural spectacle and UNESCO world heritage Geiranger. We will explore the strawberry land of Norway, the Storfjord and Ålesund. The latter is also known as the ‘Venice of Norway’ and its impressive Art nouveau architecture and representation. You will for sure remember the tranquility, the impressive environment and the friendly Norwegians, even long after you returned home.

DAY 1: Arrival in Bergen
Your adventure begins with our Welcome Briefing in the hotel at 4 pm where you can meet the group.
DAY 2: Bergen - Voss
We will leave Bergen, the lively cultural metropolis, the old Hansestadt, where festivals, concerts and cutting-edge art exhibitions take place all year round. We will take the train to Dale, where our bikes await us. From now on we will journey through nature and cycle along the river Giljaevi to Voss.
DAY 3: Voss - Flåm
After a little stopover in Voss we will continue our journey along the river Kleivelvi to Myrdal. This is the starting point of the most spectacular railroad line in Norway. It stretches from Myradal to Aurlandsfjord, a smaller fjord next to the giant Sogneford. The insatiable can cycle, the connoisseurs can take their bike into the train. The cyclists will cycle along Rallarvegen, one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Norway. Once a supply route for the construction of the train. We rejoin in the Togrestaurant in Flåm. The restaurant itself is accommodated in an old train carriage.
DAY 4: Flåm - Sogndalsfjøra
We will leave the little village Flåm, which is nestled within the vast mountain ranges of Aurlandsfjord. We will climb up a few serpents and enjoy the magnificent views of the Aurlandsfjord. We have arrived at a breath-taking alpine landscape that reveals timeless solitude and beauty. Beneath us is the longest tunnel of Norway. The Laerdaltunnel, with a length of 24,5 km, has replaced the St. Gotthard tunnel as the longest tunnel in the world.
DAY 5: Sogndalsfjøra - Fjærland
Today we are going to load our bicycles twice on ferries. The first cruise is a short distance from Fodnes to Mannheller. From there we will cycle along the coast of Sognefjord. In Hella we will enter a ferry to Fjærland. Picturesque is the ride through the 25 km long Fjærland fjord, which is only about 10 km away from the glacier slopes of the Jostedalbreen glacier. Our hotel is also located directly at the fjord.
DAY 6: Fjærland - Olden
A shuttle bus will bring us underneath the Jostedalbreen glacier tongue to Skei. Driving along the Innvikfjord we reach Olden. Since time immemorial, fjord horses have been kept in this valley. They are quiet, sturdy northern fjord horses, which are not only useful as working animals, but also play an important role in the glacier tourism.
DAY 7: Olden - Geiranger
Today's highlight is the fjord of the fjords - Geiranger – an Unesco World Heritage site and a duty for every Norwegian traveller. The Geirangerfjord thrills with steep rock faces, snow-capped peaks and enchanting waterfalls. From our hotel we have an incredible view of the village and the fjord Geiranger.
DAY 8: Geiranger - Valldal
Today’s morning program is the Ornesvingen – the Eagles view, situated high above Geiranger with an incredible view of the fjord. A short ferry ride will take us to Valldal, the strawberry paradise of Norway. In Jordbaerstova we will eat the most delicious strawberry cake in the world. Today we will sleep at the Gudbrandsjuvet waterfalls.
DAY 9: Valldal - Ålesund
We will leave the strawberry valley behind and cycle along the coastline of Storfjords. Nomen est Omen, the name means "huge". With a length of 110 km it is the 5th longest in Norway. The dramatically steep mountains descend 1500m down to the coast. Only interrupted by several valleys, which stretch up to 30 km into the hinterland and feature mild climate.
DAY 10: Departure from Ålesund
Let’s enjoy our final breakfast together and then set off on our journey homeward.
