The tour includes the Bergen Railway, Flåm Railway, a cycling trip down the Flåm valley, a fjord safari with a local guide from Flåm to Gudvangen, and whitewater rafting on a river near Voss.

Program day 1:
The tour starts at the railway station in Voss with the scenic railway journey to Myrdal station. From Myrdal station, the tour continues on the famous Flåm Railway, one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. The Flåm Railway is very easy to find at Myrdal station.

When the Flåm train arrives at Berekvam station, you are halfway down to Flåm and have seen the steepest and most spectacular sections of this famous railway line.

You leave the train at Berekvam, where a guide is waiting for you with bikes and helmets.  After a short briefing, you are ready to cycle the last 11 km down to Flåm. It is an easy route to cycle, mostly either downhill or flat. There is a lower age limit of 12 years for the cycling trip. If you have luggage with you, it will be taken down by car.

You can also stop and take photos en route.  Once down in Flåm, you have about an hour to explore on your own. Flåm is a charming small village surrounded by steep mountainsides, cascading waterfalls and narrow valleys. It is lovely just to stroll around, but you can also visit the Flåm Railway Museum. It is also a nice place to catch a bite to eat before embarking on the fjord safari.

Afterwards, you rendezvous at the quay at 11.50 to get dressed, equipped and register for the fjord safari. There are maximum 12 passengers and a guide in each RIB boat, so it almost feels like you are on a private tour. The boat stops at several places en route and the guide tells interesting stories about the local history of the fjords. You will also have a good chance of seeing some marine wildlife and birds in their natural element, for example seals, harbour porpoises and eagles. On this safari, the boat heads out the Aurlandfjord and up the Nærøyfjord.

The Nærøyfjord is one of the narrowest fjords in Europe. In 2005, the Nærøyfjord was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The safari takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes and ends in Gudvangen.

In Gudvangen, your guide is waiting for you with a minibus to take you to Voss. On the way there, you will be driven down the hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva, one of the steepest roads in Europe, with a gradient of 24% at its steepest. Since 2010, this has been a one way road, and it is only possible to drive down it.

At Voss there will be a overnight stay. Please book your own accommodation. The accommodation is not included in this trip.

Program day 2:
Pick up at Voss bus station. The minibus takes you to Voss Rafting Center. At Voss Rafting Center you will be given information about the rafting trip and issued with all equipment needed. Bring along your swimwear, extra underwear to wear underneath the wetsuit and a towel for the showers afterwards.

Because of the whitewater rafting, the lower age limit on this tour is 15. (For families with younger children, we may be able to replace the whitewater rafting with family rafting on request.) The rafting is at level 3+ to 4, depending on the water level.

After rafting, there will be served a warm lunch in the restaurant before returning to Voss train station where the trip ends.
