Bergen Line train to Myrdal, where the 20 km Flåm Railway starts. Plan the connection at Myrdal with care.
Flåm is a small village at the head of a fjord, best known for its mountain railway and for the cruise on the Nærøyfjord, which is on the UNESCO list. A Flåm to Gudvangen cruise is listed by Visit Bergen from NOK 550 between 20 April and 31 December 2026, and the combined Bergen package is a 13-hour day. More in the Flåm listing.
Tip: The package from Bergen is a long day, so check the schedule for your date and be back before the last connection.
Vy train on the Bergen Line. Trains leave several times a day, and some go on to Myrdal.
Voss is a town on a lake, set among mountains, and the easiest fjord-country day out. The Voss tourist information is next to the train station and the Voss gondola, which makes arriving simple. More in the day-trip listings.
Tip: No tour needed. Go by train, wander round the lake and come back whenever you have had enough.
Guided coach tour from Bergen. Check departure details with the operator.
A guided day tour that combines the scenery of the Hardangerfjord with Vøringsfossen, one of Norway’s best-known waterfalls. The tour is listed at 14 hours. See Vøringsfossen.
Tip: Access to the waterfall can be affected by road conditions, so look at the route status before you book.
