HOLIDAYS TO NORWAY

HARDANGERFJORD, VOSS & SOGNEFJORD
8 days from £1099 pp

Hang out in the Hardanger fjord, fringed with apple blossom in spring time and penetrating in from the Atlantic for over a hundred miles to the mountain plateau Hardangervidda; then climb up to Voss, from where you can cruise on the Nærøy and Aurland fjords before crossing a vast plateau down to the Sognefjord. Stay alongside this, the longest fjord in Norway; cruise up to the Fjærland glacier; take a trip along the fjord’s shoreline to see Urnes Stave Church or just watch the day go by.

Our routes are chosen for both scenic content, easily do-able driving distances and opportunities for excursions both en-route and at stop-over points. Each tour has at least 3 two night stops to ensure a relaxing holiday. All accommodation is at superior class hotels including half board other than in Bergen. Your car comes completely free of any extra charges and with our exclusive zero collision damage waiver excess insurance.

DAY 1 UK – BERGEN Scheduled SAS flight(s) to Bergen. Collect hire car. Overnight Hotel Strand.
DAY 2 BERGEN – UTNE Take the funicular for the view from Mount Fløyen; explore the winding streets of Old Bergen and perhaps choose your lunch at the Fish Market before driving to Utne on the Hardangerfjord (144 km). Two overnights at Utne Hotel
DAY 3 HARDANGERFJORD At leisure. Walk the Heritage Trail in Sysehagen; see the saltmarsh bird life in Holmen; take a trip up the Orsafjord or cruise on the Hardangerfjord to Kinsarvik.
DAY 4 UTNE – VOSS Drive up the mountain road past Skjervefoss waterfall to Voss (42 km). Overnight at Park Hotel for two nights.
DAY 5 VOSS At leisure. Enjoy the dramatic Flåm Mountain Railway and cruise the Aurland and Nærøy Fjords.
DAY 6 VOSS – BALESTRAND Drive to Balestrand (95 km + ferry). A journey of contrasts: across the Vik Mountains, down to Vik and Hopperstad Stave Church, by ferry across to Dragsvik and a short drive to Balestrand for two overnights at Midtnes Pension.
DAY 7 SOGNEFJORD We think Balestrand is Norway’s ‘Jewel in the Crown’. If you can tear yourself away, visit the Fjærland Glacier or drive along to Solvorn and Urnes Stave Church.
