Sognefjord in a nutshell . Cant I stay in Flam for two days ?
by Fernandocramos
I"ve having some problems when I try to book the Sognefjord in a Nutshell Round trip from Bergen (starting with boat). I would like to stay two days in Flam , to visit The Nigardsbreen Glacier. I read its possible, that i can leave the boat , spend those days in Flam and them return to the tour two days later back to Bergen by Flams. But when I start booking they say its not possible. I already made a reservation at Hotel In Flam from 15/17 july. What should I do now ?
I read this at Fjord folder:
Stopover
If you wish to stop and spend the night during one of our tours to get an even
better taste for this distinctive region, you may do so. Such stops are permissible
for all the tours listed in this brochure, provided your stopover is along one of the
scheduled routes.
Day trips/roundtrip tickets are valid for a period of one week, which means they
can readily be combined with one or more overnight stays along your travel route.
For information on accommodation and how to make reservations, please
contact Fjord1 Reiseservice in Bergen by phone at +47 5590 7070, or by e-mail at
fylkesbaatane@fjord1.no

Hi
The Nutshell tours are based on public transport. So making stops en route, shouldn't be a problem. If the booking-site does not accept this, why not buy the different tickets separately?
Boat: https://booking.fjord1.no/SelectTravelDetails.aspx
Train: http://www.nsb.no/?lang=en_US
I would also suggest that you look at Balestrand for your stopover instead of Flåm. It's a nicer village, and makes you trip to the glacier much easier.

Welcome to the fjords and have a great time!

I see. The weekend is obviously not the best time.
Have you tried to e-mail fjord1 and ask about the two night stopover?

by Fernandocramos
Yes i contacted them, and still waiting.
If I cant continue with the same ticket two days after, I will have to buy another tarin ticket from Flam to Bergen. But I think it will be possible cause there are too many months until there.
Travel Tips for Bergen
Budget for Dining in Norway
by dragonfr7
The food is incredibly expensive in Norway. Our typical breakfast of coffee and pastries or cheese sandwiches typically added up to about $35. I think the best way to see your bucks go far is to splurge on the main meals like dinner in sit-down restaurants and pick up your travel snacks at the supermarket. Getting a snack bar or sandwich here and there at shops will really tear in to your wallet, whereas, it doesn't seem as bad if you're sitting down and enjoying a meal in a full service restaurant. Beers cost about $10 a pop. Crazee!!!
Sea, Mountains, and Culture
by yooperprof
Bergen is a gem of a city. Its location in a beautiful harbor hemmed in by mountains is reminiscent of Vancouver Canada, and it has the added charm of a well-preserved medieval core, the Bryggen District. You'll have to take the cable car to the top of Mt. Ulriken for postcard views of the city, harbor, and surrounding hills.
Covered streets
by diocletianvs
Since it rains a lot, owners of the local shops are usually covering part of the pavement in order to allow you rain-free window-shopping. In some places, you’ll find “covers” like these over lengthy portions of streets in the city centre. This photo was taken on recently renovated Torgallmenningen that features this colonnade of uniquely shaped stone columns supporting the glass “roof”.
Look at the pavements (2)
by diocletianvs
Another look at the interesting pavements of Bergen. Just when you think that these cobble stones at Vågsallmeningen Square are the same as everywhere else you'll notice that the blue detail isn't a mistake.
It is also a ceramic tile, uniquely made for Bergen by one Danish artist.
Sit on the bench
by diocletianvs
Bergen is very rich in various types of benches that can be found in public spaces throughout the city. It is just one of the details of the strong emphasis on design of public spaces that Bergen is so proud of.
If you happen to be in Bergen in those 90 days without the rain take a seat on one of these uniquely designed Bergen benches.
