Extensions - Norway in a Nutshell

This is one of the most popular round trips in Norway. It takes you through some of the loveliest scenery in the dramatic fjord lands of the south from Oslo to the charming seaside city of Bergen. You experience the Flåm railway line, the Aurlandsfjord, the Nærøyfjord (the narrowest part of the Sognefjord) and the steep Stalheimskleivane hairpin bends.

This independent trip can take anything from two to five days. We recommend you explore this region at a leisurely pace. Please contact us for further suggestions and costings.
