5-Day Bergen & Hardangerfjord Adventure

Customisable Itinerary
4.6 • 14 travellers have booked with Trude S.

Trip Overview

Over 5 days in Norway, you will travel from Bergen to the beautiful Hardangerfjord, which offers an abundance of nature-based activities.

Bergen, called the Gateway to the Fjords due to its close proximity to the Norwegian fjords, makes the perfect starting point for exploring the fjord region. During this trip, you'll embark on a fjord cruise on the Hardangerfjord to Ulvik, the heart of stunning fjord country dotted with farmsteads and surrounding hills.

The Folgefonna Glacier walk will be one of your greatest experiences on this trip. It requires no experience and is on flat areas, crevasses and includes some climbing with a beautiful view of the North Sea during your lunch break on the glacier.
