Detailed itinerary

The crown jewel of this trip, the Stegastein mountain viewpoint, stands at 650 meters above sea level. It offers an awe-inspiring panoramic view of the Aurlands Fjord. There are only two things to do here: first, behold and then capture the moment with your phone.
After 10-15 min, we will head out towards Flåm

Flåm is a picturesque Norwegian village that has been a tourist attraction for a more than hundred years, and now it attracts about half a million tourists each year. We will spend around 45 minutes here. First, you can have some lunch, if you have packed with you. Or you can roam around the village center to find a suitable restaurant or street-food kiosk. You can also enter the souvenir shop to collect a memento. There is a railway museum which can also be visited if you want.

Tvindefossen (The Tvinde Waterfall) is 110 meters high and one of the top 10 tourist attractions in Norway. Optional. See pricelist

Included in alternative 2. The Viking Experience: Switch the time machine on and enter the Viking era by visiting the Viking village. Feel it for yourself- how it was like in a Viking community. It is also possible to participate in archery and axe-throwing or learn to play the Viking games. Smell the tar and bonfires, and join the daily activities of the Vikings. The village, known as "Njardarheimr", named after the northern god Njord is situated near Flåm. You will be provided with an entry ticket to this place which includes a 45-minute guided (in English) trip in the village. In addition, or alternatively, you can explore the village on your own. You can also buy lunch and Viking handcraft souvenirs outside the Viking village.
