Hike through Norway’s stunning fjords, the most immersive way to experience the natural wonders

Enjoy a ferry cruise through the dramatic sheer cliffs of Nærøyfjord (Narrow Fjord)

Stay 5 nights at Nes Gard, a family farm scenically positioned on the edge of Lustrafjord

The Norwegian fjords are one of the natural wonders of the world: a gorgeous cinematic landscape of snow-capped mountains, green hillsides and powerful waterfalls plunging into calm, clear fjordic waters. Purposefully avoiding the tourist trap spots, we stay at a guesthouse in the fjords, providing easy access to some of the most picturesque walking trails in Norway. We will also enjoy a ferry ride through the sheer cliffs of Nærøyfjord (Narrow Fjord) and ride the Flåm railway, one of the most scenic train journeys in the world.

Temperatures are around 18C-22C (64F-72F), ideal for our day hikes in this region.

And because we stay at one guest house nestled in the fjords for 5 consecutive nights, you get to enjoy the beauty of the fjords, both on our daily walks, and also each evening, as we return to our beautifully placed lodging, as well as each morning, as you awake to the start of a fresh new adventure in one of the most beautiful spots in the world.

And, if you wish to skip a day of walking, you can relax at our scenic guest lodge and just admire the fjords from there in tranquil peace.

NES GARD – WHERE THE FJORDS AND THE MOUNTAINS, MEET WITH PEOPLE FOR A WONDERFUL STAY

Enjoy five nights on the banks of Lustrafjord, staying in a welcoming private guesthouse. It’s situated on a family-run farm, now managed by seventh-generation custodian Anders, who ensures “good food and good experiences” to all who stay there.

The 20 individually decorated rooms, some of which have sloping ceilings, are split across guest lodging buildings on the farm, a mix of double rooms with private facilities.

Nes Gard is a family farm. The farm is beautifully situated by the Lustrafjord with a view of Feigefossen. Today it is the 7th generation, Anders, who runs the farm.

With us, well-being, good food and good experiences are paramount and we aim to be the place "where fjords, mountains and people meet".

Ideally situated mid-way between Flåm and Bergen, Fleischer’s is a contemporary hotel with a historic atmosphere, housed in a 19th-century building by Lake Vangsvatnet.

A perfect hotel for a relaxed finish and a warm farewell to the fjords.

Begin your adventure in the picturesque coastal city of Bergen, deep in fjord land and wrapped by seven mighty mountains.

Around 4pm, say hallo to your tour leader and fellow travellers in the hotel lobby, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.

This is also an excellent time to take your first fika, Scandinavia’s traditional coffee and snack break, with the free homemade pastries and freshly brewed tea and coffee available at the hotel.

After, we get our bearings with an orientation tour of the city, before your tour leader ensures a big Norwegian welcome by arranging a group dinner at the hotel.

Board the minibus after breakfast and begin our journey into the fjords. After 2 hrs 30 mins scenic driving on the road, we reach the village of Gudvangen, where we hop on a ferry for a two-hour scenic cruise through the wild sheer cliffs of Nærøyfjord with stunning photo opportunities throughout.

A two-hour scenic cruise through the spectacular, UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord is an unforgettable journey.

Gliding past sheer cliffs, towering 1,800-meter (5400 feet) peaks, and cascading waterfalls.

Spectacular waterfalls

A beautiful waterfall plunges down the steep mountainsides along both the Nærøyfjord and the Aurlandsfjord.. The most spectacular of these waterfalls is Sagfossen, at the outermost point of the Nærøyfjord, with a total drop of 575 meters (close to 1800 feet). If you’re standing out on deck, you can feel the droplets of water on your face when the boat carefully draws alongside the waterfall.

The stunning blue-green fjords of Norway are surrounded by majestic mountains, wild nature, cascading waterfalls, snow-clad peaks and ancient glaciers.

The Nærøyfjord in Western Norway is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its sheer, dramatic mountains that plunge straight into the water, creating countless cascading waterfalls

Nærøyfjord — a stunningly beautiful UNESCO-listed fjord

Nærøyfjord is a sight to behold at any time of year. Whether you see it in its winter blanket of frost and snow, with its emerald-colored glacier melt water in spring or its green, flower-speckled hillsides in summer, or in its brightly colored autumnal splendor.

Nærøyfjord is a UNESCO World Heritage site. National Geographic magazine voted the fjord "The best unspoiled travel destination in the world" already in 2004.

When choosing 50 most awe-inspiring natural wonders in 2017, CNN said: “If you only have time to visit one fjord in your lifetime, make it the Naeroyfjord in southwest Norway.”

Arriving in the village of Flåm, we jump back in the minibus and continue to Nes Gard, our hideaway in the fjords for the next five nights.

After a short transfer, embark on a picturesque walk to the top of Molden (3,360ft/1,116m), where we can marvel at the profound chasm that is Sognefjord, nicknamed the King of the Fjords.

Sognefjord — the king of the Norwegian fjords

Norway's longest fjord extends all the way to Jotunheimen National Park, which boasts no fewer than 24 of Norway's 25 highest peaks.

The mighty Sognefjord has a jumble of fjord branches spreading outwards into beautiful landscapes packed with wild nature and rich cultural heritage

The Sognefjord is no less than 204 kilometers long. At its deepest, the fjord extends 1300 meters down to the seabed, which also makes it Norway’s deepest fjord. Majestic mountains towering over 1,700 meters (close to 6000 feet) surround the beautiful blue water of the Sognefjord.

Molden is often called the finest viewpoint in Sogn, with an amazing fjord view. With 1,970ft (600m) of elevation gain over 2.6mi (4.2km), the path is neither too steep nor strenuous.

Molden is widely celebrated as the finest viewpoint in the Sogn region of Norway.

Rising 1,116 meters (3348 feet) above sea level, this iconic hike towers over the emerald-colored Lustrafjord, offering breathtaking, 360-degree vistas of majestic peaks, glaciers, and surrounding fjords.

Halfway, we stop at the mountain farm of Svarthiller, where we get the first scenic views of the fjord. After, we visit Urnes Stave Church, the oldest stave church in Norway and a World Heritage site.

After breakfast, we have an approximately 40-minute transfer to Jostedal National Park, the home of Jostedal glacier, a mammoth ice cap covering vast swathes of the park itself.

Jostedalsbreen National Park is a national park in Norway that encompasses the largest glacier on the European mainland,

The Jostedalsbreen glacier is the largest ice cap in mainland Europe’s and the largest white area you will find on the map of Norway!

Glaciers make up nearly half of the national park's area, which is otherwise characterized by lush, narrow valleys and cascading waterfalls and rivers.

It has nearly 30 glacial arms and today we visit two, starting with a walk to the Nigards Glacier, where we get really close to the glacier.

If you’d like to get even closer, you can join an optional guided walk on the glacier, using crampons and an ice axe to help you navigate.

In Jostedalsbreen National Park, you will see how the land is formed day by day. The glacier scours the bedrock like a giant sandpaper, constantly shaping the landscape and producing spectacular landforms.

Afterward, we will be driven to the Bergset Glacier, a mighty ice wall covering the upper part of Krundalen valley. Here, we have a short walk towards this glacier fall before we head back to Nes Gard.

Hike into Mørkridsdalen today, one of the most scenic valleys in Norway. The walk starts in a narrow canyon dominated by a waterfall. As we continue, the canyon opens into a wide valley of moorland with wildflowers and traditional Norwegian summer cottages.

After, we return to Nes Gard for another evening to enjoy our scenic location on the banks of the Lustrafjord.

On this hike you will get a great panorama of the Mørkrid- valley, Åsetelake with mountain huts and the well-known peaks of the West-Jotunheimen.

Start the day with a one-hour transfer to the start point of today’s hike. The route (which takes three to four hours) is one of the most popular in the area and when we reach the top of Besshovden viewpoint, we see why. From the summit, enjoy majestic views of the Fjærlandsfjorden and Jostedal glacier.

During summer, you may even see people securing hammocks here to spend the night under the stars.

Then we take a short transfer to the Norwegian Glacier Museum in Fjærland, an angular slice of modern architecture back dropped by the ancient mountain peaks. Here, we can spend 1 hour and 30 mins. enjoying a fascinating insight into the local landscape, the glaciers and how the climate crisis is impacting them.

After, enjoy free time in Fjærland, Norway’s book town, where old cow sheds and pig pens have been converted into book shops.

Bid a fond farewell to our fjordic home and we will be transferred (2 hrs 15 mins) to Flåm, where we ride the Flåm railway, one of the most beautiful and steep train journeys in the world.

It is regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys, and over 20 km the train takes you from the fjord in Flåm to the high mountains at Myrdal station. The journey is breathtaking, whatever the season.

Our journey takes us to Myrdal railway station, where we get out and take a zig-zagging walking path back down.

The car-free route is reserved for walkers, offering fantastic views of waterfalls and the valley.

After, we jump back on the railway, normally at Blomheller station, and return to Flåm, where we catch a transfer (1hr 15min) to our hotel in Voss. Arriving around 4pm, there’s free time to explore before our farewell dinner.

You’ve hiked through Norway’s stunning fjords, ridden one of the most scenic railways in the world, and taken a boat onto a glacial lake, but now it’s time to begin your return journey home.

One group transport back to the Bergen airport is provided early this morning around 4:30am, to accommodate most flights, as most depart in the later morning hours.

Alternatively, you can simply take the train from Voss to Bergen on your own arrangement. The train station is only a two minute walk from our hotel and the train ride to Bergen takes only around one hour with multiple daily departures.

Or, you may wish to take the train from Voss, all the way to Oslo to explore the capital city of Norway, at your own pace. Trains from Voss to Oslo take around five hours.
