Stay : First approach to Norway
For a stay of one week or even less, it is not reasonable to plan a trip through the North or the Great North: the distances are counted in thousands of kilometers to get there and it would be a pity to spend only a few days there compared to the budget invested. Rely on the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour offered by the national company

Detail of the stay : First approach to Norway - 7 days
Day 1: Train to Flåm via Myrdal and its Oslo valley
The tunnels follow each passing a fairytale landscape of mountains and valleys in summer and winter. Arriving in Flåm, spend a night in the fjord.
Day 2: Boarding a ferry to Sognefjord Fiord
This fjord is one of the largest in Norway. It is bordered by high mountains, 1,800 m for the highest. The boat disembarked at Gudvangen. An essential stop before returning to Voss. From Voss, take the train to Bergen.
Day 3: Visit Bergen
Steps: Bergen
Your first day in Bergen is all about getting acquainted with this small city. Take a guided tour of the city, either on foot or by bus (depending on the weather!). In the afternoon, visit the many museums, including the famous Hanseatic Museum on Bryggen Quay. Take the funicular (Fløibanen) to climb to the top of the mountain and have a unique panorama on this little Rome (as it is called because of the 7 mountains it is surrounded by...), if possible at nightfall to enjoy the amazing colors.
