Arrive in the small village of Gudvangen. From here, take a bus trip through Nærøydalen valley, with its charming villages and scenic nature landscape. From May-September, the bus travels down the steep hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva. Arrive in Voss, dubbed Norway’s adventure capital, where you board your train and continue on the Bergen Railway.

Founded more than 900 years ago, Bergen has roots from the Viking Age and beyond. See various city attractions such as the fish market, medieval churches Domkirken and Korskirken, Bryggen wharf and the narrow crooked streets of the old town.
