From Flåm we board the train to take us to Myrdal, winding our way up to the Hardangervidda Mountain plateau.
Having reached Mydral we change trains and head to Voss, where we walk to a local hotel for lunch. After lunch we join our coach stopping briefly at Tvinde waterfall before reaching the Stalheim Hotel.
After refreshments at the hotel we begin our exhilarating descent of Stalheim’s Kleivene along Europe’s steepest road (it is not always possible to take the steepest road however, so a different route may be taken) On the valley floor, we follow the Nærøy River to rejoin our ship in Flåm.
TOUR NOTES: This tour involves some walking, and there is also a high step to board the train at both stations. There may also be slippery terrain and this tour is not recommended for wheelchair passengers. The seats on the train will be reserved for us, but the whole group will not usually sit together instead we are likely to be seated in smaller groups. For the scenic Flåm journey, we would politely ask that passengers refrain from standing to take photographs, as this blocks the view for other passengers. We would also ask passengers not to open windows as it does make the commentary harder to hear. A warm jumper or jacket is advisable, as we will be travelling at height. Please note this tour includes a journey with hairpin bends, therefore it may not be suitable for passengers who suffer from vertigo. The tour may operate in reverse, with the journey from Flåm by coach, and return by train.
