    Tours and Activities: Norway in a nutshell

    Norway in a nutshell
    by daarth
    The absolutely most popular tour in Norway is the "Norway in a nutshell" tour. It can be done in one day, and many describe it as a Norway in miniature. The tour goes by rail, bus and boat, and takes you through most of the types of nature Norway has to offer.
    Basically the tour is a side tour in a loop off the railway between Oslo and Bergen at a distance of about an hour from Bergen. The loop can be done either clockwise or counter clockwise. It includes a trip on the famous rail "Flåmsbanen", a trip by boat on the Sognefjord and a bus ride from the fjord up to Voss.

    If the trip is done from Bergen, count on a minimum of 7 hours without stopovers. From Oslo about 15 hours.

    Price from Bergen about 700,- kr. / 100,- Euro

    I have never done the complete tour in one go, but I have tried all the areas and it truly is amazing.

    Ticket from the Bergen
    Expressen
    by Ken_Weaver
    The Bergen Expressen is a motorized train with automobile wheels that takes you from the city center to various parts of the city.The tour starts at Bryggen. The train drives along the small lake "Lille Lungegaardsvann" and through the old city gate. The tour goes on past Hansa Brewery and up to the hillside road "Fjellveien", where you will get a beautiful view of Bergen. A brief stop will be made at the "Fjellhytten" (the Mountain Hut). The best part is the tour into the residential areas high above the city....several of the photos of the city and bay were taken during the short breaks that the driver allows for photo shoots. After a ten minutes break, the train heads back to the city centre on small roads past "Mariakirken", "King Haakons Hall", and the "Rosenkrantz Tower", in order to reach the point of departure via the old wooden buildings of "Bryggen".

    Price: NOK 70 or USD $10

    Norway in a Nutshell

    This popular day-excursion takes you through some of the most magnificent scenery to be found on the west coast of Norway.

    You leave Bergen by train in the morning, along the beautiful Sørfjorden to the town of Voss. From there, you start the climb to the great mountain plateau which separates the western fjords from East Norway.

    In Myrdal, you change trains and then go down the many sharp curves on the famous Flåm Railway which has a reputation for one of the most spectacular train rides in the world. You will pass by lofty, snow-capped mountains, thundering waterfalls and peaceful green meadows on your way to the valley below.

    After a lunch stop in Flåm, the trip continues by boat on the Aurlandfjord (see picture) and Nærøyfjord, one of the narrowest fjords in Western Norway.

    From the town of Gudvangen you will go on by bus to Voss where there is a train waiting for you to take you back to Bergen.
