Reiseverlauf 2026

1. Tag 1

   Bergen

   <
   Hallo! Welcome to Norway. Surrounded by mountains and fjords, Bergen is Norway’s second-largest city, known for its colourful wooden houses, historic harbour and vibrant food scene. Your adventure will begin with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, maybe visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bryggen and wander through the reconstructed medieval homes and warehouses. Or visit the beautifully preserved wooden Hanseatic Museum (a former trade building) and explore the old Hanseatic port area – the Hanseatic merchant confederation dominated Baltic maritime trade for 400 years from the 15th century. There are some great seafood restaurants in town, so maybe venture out with the group for a bite to eat this evening.
   It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance and emergency contact details at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

   This morning, travel by private vehicle to the village of Loen, tucked at the eastern end of Nordfjord – one of Norway’s most picturesque fjords.

From the summit, take in the views of glaciers, peaks and the glassy Nordfjord below. Then set out on a guided hike with your leader along well-marked trails, offering views over the fjords, mountains and several tiny villages.

   Gudvangen

   <
   Travel to Flam – a picturesque village at the end of Aurlandsfjord. From here, pick up yor bikes then board the world-famous Flam Railway for a ride up to the mountain station of Myrdal – make sure to have your camera ready! At Myrdal, swap the rails for wheels as you hop on a bike and enjoy a leader-guided downhill ride back to Flam. Follow a glacial stream through a lush valley, past goat farms, waterfalls and dramatic mountain scenery. It’s a peaceful, invigorating way to take in the landscape at a slower pace. After, take a public bus to your next cabin stay in Gudvangen, sitting between steep cliffs and deep fjords.
   Your travel time today will be approximately 4 hours. Your cycling distance will be approximately 20 km. Your luggage will be collected in the morning and transported directly to Gudvangen while you enjoy the scenic train journey and biking adventure from Myrdal to Flåm, so please pack a small daypack with essentials as you won't have access to your main luggage until check-in later that day. Some departures will be staying at alternative location in Voss, instead of Gudvangen due to extremely limited summer availability. Please note that Voss is located close to the fjords as well, and your kayaking activity the following day (Day 6) will be from Voss. Affected departures are 15 June, 22 June, 6 July, 20 July, 3 August, & 10 August,

   Gudvangen

   <
   Today is all about exploring the UNESCO-listed Naeroyfjord by kayak. Starting from Gudvangen, meet your local guide at the kayak center and get fitted with your gear for a full-day kayaking on the calm waters. Explore hidden corners beneath the cliffs that are only accessible by kayak. Paddle past waterfalls, historic farms and small settlements like Bakka – areas unreachable by roads. Learn about the region’s history and landscape and make sure to keep an eye out for seals. Along the way - weather dependent - stop for a barbecue lunch where you’ll have plenty of time to swim, explore, or just soak in the views. Return to Gudvangen for the night.
   Your kayaking time today will be approximately 4.5 hours or 16 km. Swimming in Norwegian fjords is very cold even in summer months, and swimming at your own risk.
