Embark on a magical winter adventure filled with fjords, train-rides and breathtaking views! Expect sparkling winter landscapes, shimmering waterfalls, and awe-inspiring fjords covered in snow and ice. On this enchanting tour, you’ll step back into the legendary Viking era at the authentic Njardarheimr Viking Village, glide through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Nærøyfjorden on a electrical winter cruise, and experience one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys—the scenic Flåm Railway, illuminated by the soft glow of winter’s magic. OBS: We cannot guarantee a specific amount of snow in October/November.
The tour begins with a warm minibus ride from the Tourist Information in Bergen, heading east into a stunning winter wonderland. Our first scenic stop is at the famous waterfall, Tvindefossen. Before reaching this icy marvel, we pause in the cozy Dale village — perfect for a warming cup of coffee or snacks and a quick toilet break. Further along, we arrive in Gudvangen, home to the legendary Viking Village of Njardarheimr.
In Viking Valley, you will meet the friendly inhabitants of Njardarheimr, transported over 1,000 years into winter’s embrace. In this picturesque Viking town, you can actively immerse yourself in a vibrant community passionate about sharing stories of Vikings, their daring journeys, craftsmanship, and longships. Wander freely through the historic wooden buildings, feel the touch of authentic Viking life, and learn about their building techniques, beliefs, cuisine, and craftsmanship—all amidst the snowy landscape.
Hear captivating tales of Viking explorers, their adventures, and origins. Experience what it truly felt like to be a Viking in winter’s glow. This is a once-in-a-lifetime journey deep into history, wrapped in the peaceful magic of winter.
After this immersive experience, you will enjoy a serene electric cruise through the silent, snow-covered Nærøyfjorden, arriving in the charming village of Flåm. Here, you’ll have approximately one hour to enjoy a cozy lunch and explore the scenic surroundings. Your guide will meet you in Flåm with more exciting details about the next part of your journey.
From Flåm, you will embark on the legendary Flåm Railway—an awe-inspiring train ride through shimmering, snow-capped mountains and icy waterfalls. The journey begins as the train winds up from the fjord’s edge at Aurlandsfjord, ascending steeply into the majestic Norwegian mountains at Myrdal station. Marvel at the enchanting winter scenery—a sparkling blanket of frost, frozen waterfalls, and tunnels carved through the mountains.
Over approximately 3½ hours, the train travels from sea level at the icy Sognefjord to the high, snowy peaks at 867 meters above sea level in Myrdal. This remarkable railway, one of the steepest standard-gauge lines in the world, showcases spectacular vistas through 20 tunnels, along rugged mountain slopes, and beside roaring waterfalls—an unforgettable winter spectacle. When arriving at Myrdal Station, you will change trains to the next train to Bergen. You will arrive at Bergen Train Station at around 6.20-6.30 pm.

Tvindefossen Waterfall
Standing tall at an impressive 116 meters (381 ft), this natural wonder is more than just your average cascade. Fed by the Kroelvi stream, it dramatically tumbles over a receding cliff, showcasing nature's raw power and sheer beauty. What makes Tvindefossen one of the best waterfalls in Norway isn't just its height or the mesmerizing water flow; it's the legends and history that envelop it, giving this spot a mystical aura. You might chuckle at first, but there's a local legend that has turned into quite the talking point.
Gudvangen
Nestled at the very end of the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord in Norway lies the picturesque village of Gudvangen, inviting you to explore the wonders of nature and history that define this unique destination. Gudvangen, embraced by massive, towering mountains of the Nærøydalen valley, is a place where past and present converge, and the beauty of the natural world envelops you at every turn. This is where we will join the Viking Village in Njardarheimr.
Viking Village

Cruise at Nærøyfjorden
2 hour cruise through Nærøyfjorden. The narrow and spectacular Nærøyfjord is surrounded by steep valley sides and snow-covered peaks that rise 1,800 metres above sea level, with thundering waterfalls and picturesque villages along the fjord. Regardless of the season, a cruise on the Nærøyfjord will be an unforgettable experience. The two vessels Vision and Future of The Fjords represent a brand-new standard in design and technology. They have been designed to maximise the tourist experience during any kind of weather, with large windows and walkways inspired by the winding trails of steep mountain terrain. Passengers are encouraged to go out on the top deck and enjoy a very different experience compared to traditional passenger vessels. The cruise can take up to 400 passengers. We will arrive in Flåm.
Flåm
Flåm is the most popular village around the Aurlandsfjord, and one of Norway’s most popular tourist destinations. The village has had a history of tourism dating back over 100 years, to when rich, British tourists would come to the fjords to fish salmon in the rivers here. Flåm is small, with around 400 inhabitants. However, in the high season, we sometimes have over 10’000 visitors in a day! As you can tell, it can get quite busy, as Flåm is not only a popular place to stay and visit, but also the starting point for many of the tours and activities in the area. Here you can do some shopping, visit Flåm Bakery and other restaurants as well as enjoying the scenery. From here you will take the train from Flåm Station heading to Myrdal Station.
Flåmsbana
We take the 2.30 pm train from Flåm Station. The train runs from the end of Aurlandsfjord, a tributary of the Sognefjord, up to the high mountains at Myrdal station.

The Flåm Railway is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world, with 80% of the journey running on a gradient of 5.5%. The train runs through spectacular scenery, alongside the Rallar Road, vertiginous mountainsides, foaming waterfalls and through 20 tunnels.
