The good news? You can buy the whole thing yourself, far cheaper and with much more freedom. It&#8217;s definitely not a tourist scam. For one price you get the convenience of a single booking and guaranteed connections. But if you click together those exact same tickets directly with the operators, you can easily <strong>save up to 40 percent<\/strong> of the total cost. Let&#8217;s take a look together at how to plan this iconic Norwegian puzzle step by step, how much the whole thing will cost in 2026, and why it pays not to rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below you&#8217;ll find, step by step, how much the <strong>train from Oslo to Bergen<\/strong> costs, where to grab <strong>tickets for the Fl\u00e5msbana<\/strong>, and why it&#8217;s worth taking it slow.

The Fjord Tours Package vs. the DIY Puzzle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The <strong>official Norway in a Nutshell package<\/strong> has been sold by Fjord Tours since 1982. It&#8217;s not a guided tour at all. It&#8217;s simply <strong>pre-bought tickets for five connecting legs<\/strong> that land in your inbox. In 2026 you&#8217;ll pay 3,474 NOK per adult for a one-way trip from Oslo to Bergen. In return you get total peace of mind and a guarantee that the connections will wait for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you look up those same connections with the operators yourself, <strong>you&#8217;ll pay just around 1,850 to 2,100 NOK in total<\/strong>. The difference is a whopping 1,400 NOK, which comes to almost \u20ac120 per person. For a family of four, that&#8217;s an incredible saving of around \u20ac480. Trust me, for those few extra minutes of clicking it&#8217;s absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>puzzle has five pieces<\/strong>: the train from Oslo to Myrdal (Bergensbanen), the mountain railway down to Fl\u00e5m (Fl\u00e5msbana), the electric boat along the fjord to Gudvangen, the bus to Voss, and the final train to Bergen. It looks complicated, but you can <strong>click it all together in an afternoon<\/strong> over a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, you get <strong>total freedom in planning<\/strong>. You can pick a later morning train, linger longer at a viewpoint, or split the whole route across several days exactly as you like. You don&#8217;t have to stick to a strict itinerary dictated by the official package&#8217;s booking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac54f2f99&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac54f2f99\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04.jpg\" alt=\"First piece: Bergensbanen to Myrdal\" class=\"wp-image-359767\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-04-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Wolfmann \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Bergensbanen_and_the_Hunt_for_the_Cheapest_Tickets\"><\/span>2. The Bergensbanen and the Hunt for the Cheapest Tickets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The first step of your Norwegian journey is the ride on the famous <strong>Bergensbanen railway from Oslo to Myrdal station<\/strong>. This nearly five-hundred-kilometre line is regularly ranked among the most beautiful in the world. The train gradually climbs through the deep forests of the Hallingdal valley until it rises high above the tree line onto the rugged Hardangervidda plateau. This is where you&#8217;ll get the best views of Arctic tundra and snow-covered lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy your tickets exclusively through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vy.no\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official Norwegian railway website vy.no<\/a>. The system opens roughly three months before departure, and your goal is to snag <strong>discounted Lavpris tickets<\/strong>. They start as low as 299 NOK, but in the summer season they vanish at an unbelievable pace. Once they sell out, the price gradually climbs towards the full Flex fare, which can run as high as 1,362 NOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Buy well ahead<\/strong>, especially for July and August. Otherwise, during the ride don&#8217;t get swallowed up by just your phone, because the train also stops at the cult station of Finse at an altitude of 1,222 metres, which has no road access and is beloved by Star Wars fans: the winter scenes of the ice planet Hoth were filmed here. According to seasoned travellers, from Oslo to Myrdal it&#8217;s best to sit on the <strong>left-hand side of the train<\/strong>, where the nicest views open up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac54f33ad&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac54f33ad\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05.jpg\" alt=\"Fl\u00e5msbana with a photo stop at Kjosfossen\" class=\"wp-image-359774\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-05-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Nextvoyage \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Flamsbana_or_the_Steepest_Train_Experience\"><\/span>3. The Fl\u00e5msbana, or the Steepest Train Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: At Myrdal station you&#8217;ll change onto the legendary <strong>Fl\u00e5msbana mountain railway<\/strong>. The transfer is completely stress-free, because the small mountain station has only two tracks and the trains stand right opposite each other. You have plenty of time and you&#8217;ll manage it even with big suitcases. Then comes a twenty-kilometre descent into the valley, during which the train conquers a staggering elevation change of over 860 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buy your Fl\u00e5msbana ticket smart. If you&#8217;re doing the route one-way from Oslo, <strong>buy the ticket via vy.no again<\/strong>. A one-way ticket will cost 538 NOK in 2026. You can even add it straight to your basket together with the ticket from Oslo by entering the Oslo\u2013Fl\u00e5m route. Return tickets for 900 NOK are sold by Norway&#8217;s Best, but for this connecting route you won&#8217;t need them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In just under an hour of travel you&#8217;ll pass through twenty tunnels, and the train makes a <strong>special five-minute stop at the mighty Kjosfossen waterfall<\/strong>. This waterfall stands 93 metres tall, and all passengers can step out onto a wooden platform and take photos. In the summer season you&#8217;ll even see the mythical forest fairy huldra dancing to the accompaniment of traditional Norwegian music. The railway has a gradient of 5.5 percent along most of its route, making it one of the steepest adhesion railways in all of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac54f3788&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac54f3788\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06.jpg\" alt=\"A silent electric boat on the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord\" class=\"wp-image-359781\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-06-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Nguyen Ngoc Tien \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_A_Silent_Cruise_Along_the_Naeroyfjord\"><\/span>4.

Ahead of you is a <strong>two-hour cruise along the gorgeous N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord<\/strong>, which is listed as a UNESCO site thanks to its exceptional beauty. In places the fjord is only 250 metres wide, hemmed in on both sides by steep mountain peaks rising over a thousand metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book your boat tickets <strong>well in advance<\/strong> through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norwaysbest.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">norwaysbest.com<\/a> portal. In the peak summer season you&#8217;ll pay <strong>665 NOK per adult<\/strong>. The boats here are fully electric \u2014 specifically Vision of the Fjords or Future of the Fjords \u2014 and that absolute silence of the cruise is exactly why you&#8217;ll fall in love with this part of the route. They have a unique design inspired by winding mountain trails, so you can stroll smoothly along the outdoor decks and take photos from every angle until your fingers freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boat runs reliably in any weather and sails year-round. If typical Norwegian rain happens to catch you, you can take shelter in the <strong>spacious glass-walled lounge with a caf\u00e9<\/strong>. The journey ends in the little village of Gudvangen, where you&#8217;ll smoothly connect to the next part of your Norwegian puzzle heading towards the west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac54f3b6d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac54f3b6d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"832\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07.jpg\" alt=\"Gudvangen, the end of the cruise and the start of the bus to Voss\" class=\"wp-image-359785\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-700x324.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-1536x710.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-696x322.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-07-1392x643.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Jorge L\u00e1scar from Melbourne, Australia \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Final_Leg_Through_Gudvangen_and_Voss\"><\/span>5. The Final Leg Through Gudvangen and Voss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: At Gudvangen harbour the <strong>waiting VY450 buses<\/strong> will already be there. They&#8217;ll take you through the deep N\u00e6r\u00f8ydalen valley past steep cliffs all the way to the town of Voss. The ticket costs around 159 NOK, and you can easily buy it in the Vy app or simply pay by card directly with the driver as you board. The journey takes just under an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many old guides promise a ride along the historic Stalheimskleiva switchbacks, but don&#8217;t be fooled. This iconic road has been <strong>permanently closed<\/strong> to buses for years for safety reasons, so the scheduled services use the modern and safer <strong>route along the main E16 road<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the town of Voss there&#8217;s only the <strong>final train leg to Bergen<\/strong> left. On vy.no you can grab a Lavpris ticket from as little as 139 NOK, and the journey takes just over an hour. You can buy a combined bus-and-train ticket right away by entering the Gudvangen\u2013Bergen route; the system will automatically merge both tickets for a better price of around 320 to 437 NOK. If you have a longer wait for the train in Voss, try the <strong>modern Voss Gondol cable car<\/strong>. It starts right by the station and takes you up to the summit of Hangurstoppen at an altitude of 820 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac54f3f3f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac54f3f3f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08.jpg\" alt=\"A bonus for those who stay over: the Stegastein viewpoint\" class=\"wp-image-359794\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-08-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Netha Hussain \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Why_Its_Better_to_Split_the_Route_Over_Two_Days\"><\/span>6. Why It&#8217;s Better to Split the Route Over Two Days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Most tourists blast through the whole route from Oslo to Bergen in a single day. It&#8217;s a huge twelve-hour marathon, during which you set off from Oslo after eight in the morning and don&#8217;t reach your destination until half past eight in the evening. And in Fl\u00e5m you&#8217;ll spend barely half an hour. According to travellers, though, it&#8217;s <strong>much better to split the journey<\/strong> and enjoy the atmosphere of the Norwegian fjords in peace once all the day-trippers have left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you stay overnight in Fl\u00e5m or neighbouring Aurland, completely new possibilities open up. You can head out early in the morning to the <strong>spectacular Stegastein viewpoint<\/strong>, which juts thirty metres into the void high above the blue surface of the fjord. Or you can rent a kayak and paddle out onto the fjord in the morning calm, before the first cruise ships arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll also have plenty of time to visit the <strong>Viking village of Njardarheimr in Gudvangen<\/strong>. This is no boring museum with glass display cases, but a living reconstruction full of enthusiastic people in historic costumes. You&#8217;ll get to know the crafts of the era, learn plenty of interesting facts about the life of the old Norsemen, and taste traditional bread baked over an open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac55000e7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac55000e7\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09.jpg\" alt=\"Book the boat and Lavpris train first\" class=\"wp-image-359800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-09-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Vlada Karpovich \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_When_to_Book_Everything_So_Theres_Still_Space_Left\"><\/span>7.

Vy, the Norwegian railway, opens sales roughly ninety days in advance. If you want to catch the cheapest Lavpris tickets for the longest leg out of Oslo, set yourself a reminder and buy as soon as the seats are released for sale. For the summer months, it&#8217;s ideal to sort out your tickets at least six to eight weeks before departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord boat and the Fl\u00e5msbana railway the situation is even tighter. Sales for the summer months open on the Norway&#8217;s Best website as much as 120 days ahead. During July and August, the <strong>most popular afternoon departures are often sold out several weeks in advance<\/strong>. If, for example, you&#8217;ve got your eye on the 3:00 p.m. boat, you&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s the very first to disappear. Definitely don&#8217;t count on buying your tickets on the spot at the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you can usually grab the bus to Voss and the local train to Bergen at the last minute without much stress, the strategic long-distance legs need to be <strong>paid for well in advance<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re planning your trip for high season, I recommend having all the key tickets in your inbox ideally two months before flying to Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac55004fc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac55004fc\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1206\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10.jpg\" alt=\"Cruise days change Fl\u00e5m beyond recognition\" class=\"wp-image-359806\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-1536x1029.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-696x466.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-10-1392x933.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Carlo J\u00fcnemann \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_How_to_Outsmart_the_Crowds_and_the_Cruise_Ships\"><\/span>8. How to Outsmart the Crowds and the Cruise Ships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: The village of Fl\u00e5m has only a few hundred permanent residents, but in summer <strong>enormous cruise ships<\/strong> head here. When a floating giant carrying more than two thousand passengers drops anchor in Aurland harbour, the narrow valley instantly fills to bursting. For you that means long queues for the toilets, packed restaurants, and <strong>hopelessly sold-out tickets<\/strong> for both the railway and the fjord cruises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you book a specific date, open up <a href=\"https:\/\/flamport.no\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flamport.no<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll find the exact <strong>cruise ship arrival calendar<\/strong> for Fl\u00e5m and Aurland for the whole season, and pick the days when at most a small expedition ship is docked \u2014 or better yet, none at all. You&#8217;ll save yourself a huge amount of stress, and <strong>photos without hundreds of people<\/strong> in the frame make it worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can&#8217;t avoid a busy day, <strong>choose the off-peak departure times<\/strong>. The very first morning boat at half past nine, or conversely the last one at half past five in the evening, tend to be beautifully half-empty. Most organised groups cluster around midday and the early afternoon, so with this small time shift you&#8217;ll elegantly dodge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

How It Works With Luggage and Small Children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: If you&#8217;re travelling with family, Norway will absolutely delight you with its incredible practicality. Children up to four or five travel essentially everywhere for free (up to three on the boat, up to five on the railway), and older kids get substantial discounts of around fifty percent. On the Bergensbanen route, be sure to <strong>book seats in the special Family carriage<\/strong>. There you&#8217;ll find a wonderful children&#8217;s play area, a dedicated space for prams, and comfortable changing tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transfers are designed so that <strong>absolutely anyone can manage them, even with large luggage<\/strong>. At Myrdal mountain station you cross just a few metres along a completely flat platform with your suitcase, and boarding the new electric boats in Fl\u00e5m is entirely step-free. Nowhere do you have to conquer endless stairs with heavy bags on your back or dash about confused around a huge terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to split the route and explore Fl\u00e5m light, <strong>make use of the handy luggage lockers<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll find them right next to the main station building, and you can simply drop off all your bags there. That way you can enjoy the viewpoints or lunch completely hands-free and pick up your things only just before your next departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac5500dc5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac5500dc5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12.jpg\" alt=\"Nutshell runs in winter too\" class=\"wp-image-359815\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-12-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Nils R \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Norway_in_a_Nutshell_in_Winter_and_Route_Alternatives\"><\/span>10. Norway in a Nutshell in Winter and Route Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: A big advantage of the whole route is that it <strong>runs year-round<\/strong>. The Bergensbanen trains run every day even in the depths of winter, the Fl\u00e5msbana runs about four departures a day even in the darkest months, and the electric boats cut through the fjord waters regardless of the month on the calendar. The winter polar scenery on the Hardangervidda plateau looks utterly incredible in the photos \u2014 you just have to be ready for very short days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t want to travel from Oslo, there&#8217;s a <strong>significantly cheaper loop from Bergen<\/strong>. In the morning you set off by train to Voss, by bus to Gudvangen, by boat to Fl\u00e5m, and via Myrdal you return in the evening back to Bergen. You can do this closed loop in ten hours, and the DIY tickets will cost you around 1,700 NOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another great option for travellers from Oslo is <strong>using the night train<\/strong>. You can travel the whole route through the fjords all the way to Bergen and in the evening hop on the night service back to the capital. A ticket for a comfortable seat costs from 479 NOK, and for a fantastic supplement of 740 NOK you get a whole private two-berth compartment with bedding for two. That way you save the cost of a night in a pricey Norwegian hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac550121b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac550121b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"590\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13.jpg\" alt=\"Fretheim Hotel, the classic place to stay in Fl\u00e5m\" class=\"wp-image-359820\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-700x229.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-768x252.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-1536x503.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-696x228.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-13-1392x456.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Odd Roar Aalborg \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_and_Eat_Along_the_Route_and_Why_to_Split_It_Over_Two_Days\"><\/span>Where to Stay and Eat Along the Route (and Why to Split It Over Two Days)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We prefer to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, which usually has the <strong>best cancellation terms<\/strong>.

An absolute hit is the <strong>local \u00c6gir BrewPub<\/strong>, which you&#8217;ll find right by the harbour. It has a fantastic interior reminiscent of an old Viking feasting hall, a fire burns in the middle, and with the local beer you can have a great traditional menu. If you&#8217;re just after a quick snack before the boat departs, down by the water you&#8217;ll come across an <strong>excellent bakery with fresh pastries<\/strong> and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Voss the choice of restaurants is noticeably wider, but given the fairly tight timetables there&#8217;s usually not much time left for long sit-down lunches. I definitely recommend packing your <strong>own snack and a water bottle<\/strong> for the whole journey. Prices at the station bistros are, by Norwegian standards, pretty confident, and your own supplies will <strong>save you a lot of money and stress<\/strong> during the quick transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a87ac5501aa5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a87ac5501aa5\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1197\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15.jpg\" alt=\"Prices and times for the whole route in a nutshell\" class=\"wp-image-359830\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spicberky-clanky-norway-in-a-nutshell-15-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foto: Nguyen Ngoc Tien \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Summary_and_Rough_Prices\"><\/span>Practical Summary and Rough Prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you a clearer idea of the savings, I&#8217;ve put together a price comparison in Norwegian kroner.

While in the package you pay a fixed amount for it, buying it yourself three months in advance you can snag <strong>Lavpris tickets from as little as 299<\/strong> up to 539 NOK. By contrast, the Fl\u00e5msbana railway and the electric boat across the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord have <strong>fixed price lists<\/strong> in the summer season, and discounts are very hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price comparison: DIY puzzle vs. the official package<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Journey leg<\/th><th>Where to buy<\/th><th>Price in NOK<\/th><th>Roughly in EUR<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody><tr><td>:&#8212;<\/td><td>:&#8212;<\/td><td>:&#8212;<\/td><td>:&#8212;<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Oslo to Myrdal<\/strong> (train)<\/td><td>vy.no<\/td><td>from 299 to 539<\/td><td>\u20ac25 to \u20ac47<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Myrdal to Fl\u00e5m<\/strong> (train)<\/td><td>vy.no<\/td><td>538<\/td><td>\u20ac47<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Fl\u00e5m to Gudvangen<\/strong> (boat)<\/td><td>norwaysbest.com<\/td><td>665<\/td><td>\u20ac58<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Gudvangen to Voss<\/strong> (bus)<\/td><td>vy.no \/ with driver<\/td><td>from 159<\/td><td>\u20ac14<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Voss to Bergen<\/strong> (train)<\/td><td>vy.no<\/td><td>from 139<\/td><td>\u20ac12<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>TOTAL doing it yourself<\/strong><\/td><td>&#8211;<\/td><td><strong>1,800 to 2,100<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>\u20ac155 to \u20ac180<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Official Fjord Tours package<\/strong><\/td><td>fjordtours.com<\/td><td><strong>3,474<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>\u20ac300<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to do the <strong>whole route in a single day<\/strong>, be prepared to be constantly on the move.

Tickets for the scenic boat trip on the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord and for the Fl\u00e5msbana can be bought on the norwaysbest.com portal, and you can pay for the bus ticket by card directly with the driver.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785325891002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_entire_circuit_work_in_winter_too\"><\/span>Does the entire circuit work in winter too?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>All parts of the route operate year-round. The Bergensbanen train runs daily, the Fl\u00e5msbana operates even in deep winter with around four departures per day, and the modern electric ferries on the fjord have a winter schedule that&#8217;s only very slightly adjusted. The winter landscape offers absolutely fantastic views of snow-covered polar tundra \u2013 just bear in mind the shorter daylight hours.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785325891003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wheres_the_best_place_to_stay_overnight\"><\/span>Where&#8217;s the best place to stay overnight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The most popular choice for an overnight stay is the village of Fl\u00e5m, located right at the end of the mountain railway. You&#8217;ll find great hotels here as well as the famous local \u00c6gir brewery. If you&#8217;re looking for more peace and quiet away from the crowds, I recommend taking the bus ten minutes to neighboring Aurland, which offers a more authentic and tranquil atmosphere without the tourist masses.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785325891004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_do_the_whole_thing_in_one_day_from_Oslo\"><\/span>Can I do the whole thing in one day from Oslo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Technically you can manage it, but it&#8217;s a grueling twelve-hour marathon. You&#8217;ll leave Oslo after eight in the morning and won&#8217;t arrive in Bergen until half past eight in the evening. That gives you just thirty-eight minutes for the transfer in Fl\u00e5m. That&#8217;s why experienced travelers recommend splitting the route and enjoying it at a relaxed pace over two days.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785325891005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_have_to_book_the_boat_in_advance\"><\/span>Do I have to book the boat in advance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>During the summer season from June to August, booking the boat is absolutely essential. The most popular afternoon departures are often completely sold out several weeks in advance due to organized groups from large cruise ships. Definitely don&#8217;t count on buying tickets at the ticket office on site \u2013 ideally sort out your tickets two months ahead.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785325891006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_manage_the_transfers_with_large_suitcases\"><\/span>Can I manage the transfers with large suitcases?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Norwegian infrastructure is perfectly set up for tourists. All transfers are very easy and barrier-free. For example, at Myrdal station you&#8217;ll only walk a few meters with your suitcase from one platform to the other on level ground. Boarding the boats doesn&#8217;t require climbing stairs, and in Fl\u00e5m you&#8217;ll find large luggage lockers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Save hundreds of euros and put the famous Norwegian train-and-boat route together yourself with our detailed guide.
