NORWAY IN A NUTSHELL
One of the most popular trips in Norway
Norway in a nutshell takes you through
some of the most beautiful scenery in
Norway`s fjords. You can experience the
scenic Bergen Railway line, the breathtaking Flåm Railway line, the Aurlandsfjord,
the narrow Nærøyfjord and the steep
Stalheimskleiva.
The Flåm Railway
The journey on the Flåm Railway is
regarded as one of the high points on the
Norway in a nutshell round trip. The 20
– km long train journey from the mountain
station of Myrdal and down to Flåm deep
4
in the fjord takes around 55 minutes. On the
journey you have views of some of the most
magnificent mountain scenery in Norway
with an ever- changing panorama of tall
mountains and thundering waterfalls. Along
the Flåm Railway the train moves slowly or
stops at the best views. Down at the idyllic
Flåm there is time to eat and to wander
around little before continuing your journey
by boat. The journey goes out from Aurlandsfjord and into the Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in Europe. On the journey you have
views of the small traditional farms before
the boats moors at Gudvangen.
Now the coach journey continues the
steep and spectacular hairpin bends of
Stalheimskleiva to Voss. From Voss you
can continue your journey by train to
Bergen or Oslo.
The Norway in a Nutshell round trip is
available all year and can be completed in
one day. You can stop off en- route if you
wish to spend more time on the journey
and enjoy more of what nature has to
offer.
See Try Gudvangen as a suggestion.
The Hardangerfjord
The Orchard of Norway
Hardanger is a name that the
Norwegians associate with blossom and fruit. A mild pleasant
climate and clear, light summer
nights are ideal for our guest, as
well for fruit and berries.
Hardanger is a mixture of
cold and warm, wildness and
quiet idylls, of old and traditions and modern times. High
up you enter the Hardangervidda National Park and two of
Norway`s largest glaciers- Hardangerjøkulen & Folgefonda
with summerski centre. From
mountains and glaciers the majestic waterfalls foam down into
the queen of fjords where the
cruises can bring you to the village communities for a diversity
of experiences.
We welcome you to four seasons
of beauty.

Geiranger
is the crowning glory among
Norway’s fjord district’s pearls

that twist and turn steeply

From ashes to Art Nouveau
One stormy night a hundred years ago, the whole town centre
burned to the ground. A new town rose phoenix – like from the
ashes – in the distinctive Art Nouveau style with myriad turrets,
spires and beautiful ornamentation. Ålesund is a modern, pulsating town with a varied cultural scene and exciting cafès and
restaurants. Its rich assortment of shops and galleries so that
shopping enthusiasts will also feel at home.
Stavanger
A visit to Stavanger is a visit
to a land of opportunities.
You arrive in a landscape – an
experience in itself – which is
varied, contrasting and inspiring. On the one side you have
wide-open views, on the other
ords and steep
mountain. At one moment,
sophisticated city life, at the
next the picturesque countryside of Jæren. If it is peace
and quiet you are looking for,
there are plenty of opportunities, a peaceful park, a stroll

Bergen
World heritage city
Bergen grew up around its colourful harbour – it was the hub of
commerce, Seafaring and craftsmanship. It became the north`s
largest city. In the 13th century the
Hansas – the German medieval
guild of merchants opened one of
their four European offices on the
wharf called Bryggen.
It has become a symbol of our
cultural heritage and has gained a
place on UNESCO`s World Heritage
List. Today Bergen is a city with
its feet in the sea, the head in the
skies and its heart in the right place
– full of infectious enthusiasm, and
happy to share it with visitors.
“A cruise on the Coastal
Steamer can safely be
called the world’s most
beautiful voyage.”

Trondheim
The city of Kings
“No king in Norway could rule in
peace if he failed to have the people
of Trøndelag on his side” wrote
Snorre Sturlason, the famous Icelandic Poet and historian. Trondheim
holds a special place in Norwegian
history and culture. It was the first
capital of Norway, and is still the
city where new kings receive their
ceremonial blessing.
The crown Jewels, the symbol of
Royal power, are kept in Nidaros
Cathedral. Norway`s national
sanctuary and the most important
monument of the Middle Ages.
It has been and still is a popular
pilgrimage site.
Today Trondheim is a city where
past and present times live together
in harmony. The architecture and
the surroundings create a beautiful setting for any outing. Choose
between a rich variety of historical
sights, museums & art galleries
– and look forward to a unforgettable experience!
The Lofoten Islands
Scenic Norway at its best
The islands rises majestically from
the sea to a height of almost 1,000
metres. The mountains are separated by swathes of green and the
water’s edge is fringed with white
sandy beaches. The water is green,
sh. The
Midnight sun and friendly people
- the Lofoten Islands: the most unspoiled, stunning scenery in Norway.
The Midnight Sun
The world knows Norway as the
Land of the Midnight Sun. Strictly
speaking, only North Norway lives
up to the name in a literal sense.
It is only in the north that the sun
truly never sets during the summer months. Tourists who visit
this region during the summer will
experience the Midnight Sun fully in
clear weather, but even if it is cloudy,
these light nights are still a completely unique experience. Nights
are light during the summer in the
rest of the country too, with sunset
as late as 22.30 and sunrise again
at 03.00.
The Northern Lights
During the dark winter
months, North Norway has
yet another remarkable
phenomenon - the Northern
Lights - or Aurora Borealis,
ames across the heavens in varying intensity and
form.
They can manifest as rays
arcs or curtains of colour that
range from greenish white to
deep red. Seeing the Northern Lights blazing across the
winter night is an extraordinary and mystical experience.
Northern Lights is caused by
charged particles from the
sun that get caught in the
eld, causing air molecules and atoms
to light up. During winter the
Northern Lights can sometimes be seen across southern Norway as well.

The North Cape - Europe's northern end:
Far inside the Arctic Circle, imagine a place in

this place is the North Cape in Northern

you and the North Pole except for the
Svalbard Archipelago. In the winter, average
temperature at the North Cape can vary
between -3 and -11 degrees C, but it can get
