8 Day Norway's Essential Scenic Wonders
8 Day Norway’s Essential Scenic Wonders
Let the storybook beauty of the Bergen Railway flood your senses as Norway’s famous high-altitude train glides past pristine river valleys, across towering ancient bridges and climbs steeply into pristine snow-capped mountains.
Oslo is surrounded by incredible fjords and lush forested hills, which you’ll take in on a panoramic tour of Norway’s stunning capital city. The breath-taking Bergen Railway – North Europe’s highest-altitude railway line – cuts through deep ravines past idyllic rivers and climbs snow-capped mountains where cascading waterfalls and cliff-top farms offer Norway’s finest sights en route to the charming village of Flam and Norway’s deepest and longest fjord. Travel through a network of tiny villages to get to stunning Lofthus, known for its fjord-facing locale, its fruit orchards, and incredible views of the Folgefonna glacier. A day at leisure here allows you to explore the beautiful fjord scenery, visit the orchards, and perhaps kayak in the Sørfjorden. Make your way to your final destination, Bergen, where the panoramic cable car will reveal incredible views over the historic town that was once home to world-famous composer Edward Grieg, and now boasts a thriving modern-day arts community.
This extensive tour of Norway combines rail, road and sea transport to reveal the country’s finest landscapes – from lush river valleys and soaring, snow-capped mountains, to vast frozen fjords. Your experienced team of English-speaking guides and private drivers will help you draw the most out of every experience, and a collection of modern hotels will provide a bastion of warmth and comfort as you explore the natural grandeur of one of the most beautiful countries in northern Europe.
