Itinerary

Dale

15 min

We will make a 15 min. stop at Dale Village where you can enjoy some coffee and local snacks or use the toilet. Very cosy town to experience. They also have a shop with great selections of yarn and knitted sweaters.
Tvindefossen

15 min Admission included

15 min. stop at Tvindefossen Waterfall. Standing tall at an impressive 116 meters (381 ft), this natural wonder is more than just your average cascade. Fed by the Kroelvi stream, it dramatically tumbles over a receding cliff, showcasing nature's raw power and sheer beauty.

What makes Tvindefossen one of the best waterfalls in Norway isn't just its height or the mesmerizing water flow; it's the legends and history that envelop it, giving this spot a mystical aura. You might chuckle at first, but there's a local legend that has turned into quite the talking point.
Gudvangen

45 min

Nestled at the very end of the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord in Norway lies the picturesque village of Gudvangen, inviting you to explore the wonders of nature and history that define this unique destination.

Gudvangen, embraced by massive, towering mountains of the Nærøydalen valley, is a place where past and present converge, and the beauty of the natural world envelops you at every turn. Here you have the possibility to have a lunch in the village. Cruise leaves at 12:10 pm.

Regardless of the season, a cruise on the Nærøyfjord will be an unforgettable experience. The two vessels Vision and Future of The Fjords represent a brand-new standard in design and technology.

Flam

45 min

Flåm is the most popular village around the Aurlandsfjord, and one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations. The village has had a history of tourism dating back over 100 years, to when rich, British tourists would come to the fjords to fish salmon in the rivers here. Flåm is small, with around 400 inhabitants. However, in the high season, we sometimes have over 10’000 visitors in a day!

Over the course of one hour, the train takes you from sea level at the Sognefjord in Flåm to the Myrdal mountain station, situated at 867 metres above sea level.
