Travel tip

Traveling in the winter season is highly recommended, since there are less people and more room for travelers to enjoy the view. You can complete the tour in one day, but we highly recommend that you take your time by adding overnight stays and activities along the route!

By taking your time, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery or participate in several exciting winter activities. What about a winter fjord safari with viking dinner or some snowshoe hiking in Flåm?

One last tip: Dress warmly and bundle up - it can get very cold in the fjords!
