Autumn escape

Bergen-Flåm-Oslo

Experience it all: Historical cities, famous railways, the fjords, and mountain adventures!

Plan the trip yourself or book with Norway in a Nutshell.

Start your journey in the charming, historic city of Bergen, the gateway to the fjords.

Explore narrow lanes that take you up the autumn-coloured hillside.

Hop on the Fløibanen funicular to ...

... top of Mount Fløyen for some beautiful views! 

Explore Bergen in autumn

Early morning, rise and shine!

Your trip to the fjords starts at Bergen railway station

Sit back and enjoy a snack on the Vossabanen line, which takes you to the mountain village of Voss!

From Voss, a bus takes you on a scenic ride down to the small village of Gudvangen by the Nærøyfjord. 

In Gudvangen, do make sure to visit these strong folks in their village at Viking Valley

... and express your inner Viking! 

Hop aboard one of the stylish, electric, emission-free (and quiet!) vessels from The Fjords ...

... and enjoy two hours of stunning landscapes in the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord. 

The fjords are much more tranquil in autumn and winter. You might have them almost to yourself!

The weather can be unpredictable, but you can also get days like this, even in late October. PS: don't forget to bring warm clothes, gloves, and a hat!

After a couple of hours, you enter thevillage of Flåm, where you'll have time to stroll around and grab something to eat.

Or even better, go hiking, cycling, kayaking, or fly down one of Europe's longest ziplines, before enjoying a peaceful night here. 

In any case, you'll have time enough for a refreshing dip in the fjord before retreating into a nice hot, relaxing sauna. Aaah! 

Now, get ready to ride the Flåm Railway, frequently named one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world! 

Lean back and enjoy one of the steepest railway lines on the planet, a historic and picturesque journey through 20 tunnels and past several waterfalls. 

After one hour, you'll arrive at ...

... Myrdal station, upin the mountains! 

At an elevation of 867 meters, you can expect some snow at this time of year!

From here, you can take the scenic Bergen Railway back to Bergen, or continue to ... 

... Oslo, to explore urban vibes and culture in the capital, where nature meets art! 

Plan your trip

It's easy to plan your autumn adventure in the fjords!

The journey: Start or end your journey in Bergen or Oslo, or make it a round trip from either destination. You can also take just one leg of the trip by travelling from/to Voss, Geilo, or Flåm. 

Duration: You can take the whole trip in one very long day, but spending a night or two by the fjord, surrounding mountain villages and cities is definitely recommended to really enjoy the trip and have time to explore the area. Bear in mind that the days get shorter in November and December, so you should plan to see the top sights during daylight hours. 

Tickets: You can book the whole journey with Norway in a Nutshell or book individual train tickets at Vy.noand emission-free fjord cruise tickets at The Fjord.

Accommodation: For hotels in the cities, get the best offers from our partners: Strawberry, Thon Hotels, Scandic Hotels, and Radisson Hotels
