Then on a scenic bus ride you will travel from Voss through villages and breath-taking landscapes towards the old Viking village Gudvangen. During the warm months from May to September the bus goes all the way down the famous steep hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva.
In Gudvangen you will board a cruise boat and will then depart to see two fjords that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Nærøyfjord is the longest fjord in Norway, it is one of the inner branches of the Sognefjord and it is only 500 metres wide in some parts. Meanwhile Aurlandsfjord is considered one of the Sognefjord’s wildest and most spectacular branches due to its magnificent and picturesque views with tall mountains overlooking the fjord.
At the end of the boat ride along the UNESCO fjords you will arrive at the village of Flåm where you will get off the cruise boat to get on your next adventure on the famous Flåm railway. There is a reason why this railway is considered one of the most beautiful train rides in the world, which is also why it is one of the leading tourist attractions in Norway.
