How to Explore the Norwegian Fjords?

A must-do fjord adventure in Norway! Two days and one night in Gudvangen was incredibly healing—experiencing Norway's natural beauty by boat and train. Sharing my off-the-beaten-path itinerary~ Day1: 📍Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) Dubbed "Norway's most spectacular train journey," this 20km ride from Flåm to Myrdal offers stunning views of waterfalls, valleys, and fjords. Window seats are ideal for photos 📸 Hours: 8:00-21:00 (peak season) Ticket: 620 NOK (adults) 📍Gudvangen Fjord Cruise A 2-hour boat ride from Flåm, passing through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. Marvel at towering waterfalls and quaint villages along the shore—don’t forget a windproof jacket! Departures: 10:00/14:00/17:00 Day2: 📍Hiking near Fossen Hotel Woken by the sound of waterfalls 🌊, this valley hotel offers three hiking trails of varying difficulty. We chose the easiest (1-hour) route with breathtaking panoramic valley views. Tip: Norway’s weather is unpredictable—pack waterproof shoes. 🚗 Transport Tips: From Oslo, choose: 1. Train + bus: ~5 hours (book via NSB’s official site) 2. Self-drive: Scenic but mountainous—drive carefully. 🍴 Food Recs: Fossen Hotel’s restaurant is amazing! Try Norwegian salmon, reindeer stew, and local beer. Their homemade waffles with berry jam are a breakfast must. Pro Tips: - Best season: June-August - Cruise decks are windy—bring hats/scarves - Flåm Station has luggage lockers.
