7 Days in Norway Fjords, incl. Bergen and Trolltunga
Mountains and fjords dominate this 7-day route covering Bergen's historic harbor, Odda's mountain terrain, and Folgefonna National Park. Highlights include 4 major hikes with Trolltunga's via ferrata climb and full-day glacier trek, plus 6 included breakfasts.
- Day 1
Bergen
Start your Norway fjords adventure in Bergen. The city center is easy to walk around. Spend your afternoon exploring the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf and its colorful wooden buildings. A fellow traveler shares: "Even with the rain and wind, Bergen's charm shines through. Get oriented with the city early, as you'll want time to stock up on hiking supplies from the outdoor shops near the fish market."
- Day 2
Bergen to Odda
Take the morning ferry through the stunning Hardangerfjord to Odda (2 hours). Sit on the port side for the best views. From there it's a 1-hour drive to your destination. If you get seasick easily, bring motion sickness tablets. The fjord waters can be choppy.
- Day 3
Buerdalen Valley
Your first real hike takes you through the "Valley of Waterfalls." The 10km Buerdalen valley trail helps you get ready for bigger hikes later. Wear waterproof hiking boots. The path gets muddy even in summer. A recent hiker notes: "The hike was epic, challenging but rewarding. Our guide explained all the daily events and made sure we were prepared for the terrain."
- Day 4
Folgefonna Glacier
Join an expert guide for glacier hiking on Folgefonna. They'll give you crampons and ice axes. The drive from Odda takes 75 minutes. Start early and wear layers. Morning temperatures on the glacier rarely go above 40°F (4°C), even in summer. You'll need to watch your step on the ice, but the views make it worth it.
- Day 5
Free Day in Odda
Take this day to rest before tackling Trolltunga. You can go kayaking on Hardangerfjord (550-1150 NOK) or bike around Lake Sandvinsvatnet (250-300 NOK to rent). If you want to stay active without pushing too hard, take a gentle walk around the lake area.
- Day 6
Trolltunga Hike
This iconic Norwegian hike takes 10-12 hours round trip. Leave by 6 AM to beat the crowds at the famous rock formation. You'll climb 700m in elevation. Pack at least 2 liters of water and plenty of snacks. One reviewer notes: "Anyone in reasonable shape can do this tour, but expect some steep sections where you'll use guide ropes to pull yourself up."
- Day 7
Odda to Bergen
Take the morning bus back to Bergen for one last look at the beautiful fjords. Don't schedule any onward travel before 4:30 PM to give yourself enough time. Many visitors stay extra days in Bergen after their hiking week to see more of the city.

One reviewer noted, "The travelling itself is part of the experience, with the panoramic views from the trains and cruises through the fjords." After exploring Flåm village, take the afternoon cruise through Aurlandsfjord and Sognefjord to Balestrand.
- Day 4
Balestrand & Fjærland
Stay at the historic Kviknes Hotel, which guests describe as "absolutely magical." From June to September, you can take the half-day Fjærland trip to see Bøyabreen and Supphellebreen glaciers.

- Days 5-6
Bergen
Take the afternoon boat to Bergen, Norway's second city. Get the Bergen Card for free transport and museum access. Don't miss the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf and take the Fløibanen funicular for great city views. "Take the 3-hour Mostraumen fjord cruise from Bergen - the waterfalls come right up to the boat!" recommends one traveler. Pick a hotel near the harbor for convenience.
- Day 7
Departure
Save some time for shopping in Bergen's historic center before heading to the airport. Important: The airport bus leaves from a different platform than some vouchers show. Check with your hotel for the right stop.

Stop for lunch in Kristiansund and try the local specialty klippfisk (dried cod) at one of the harbor restaurants.
- Day 3
Molde to Loen
A day focused on fjord exploration. The morning ferry across Romsdal Fjord is a 50-minute journey. Pack motion sickness medication if needed. You'll have about 3 hours in Geiranger. Take the short but steep walk to Flydalsjuvet viewpoint for excellent fjord views. The trail can get slippery so good hiking shoes are essential. The Briksdalsbreen glacier walk takes 45 minutes each way. Electric shuttles cost around $30 but save time and energy.
- Day 4
Loen to Bergen
Start early for the drive to Bergen. You'll encounter several ferry crossings. Keep cash ready for the onboard cafes. In Bergen, take the Fløyen cable car later in the day to avoid crowds. It runs until 11 PM in summer. Visit the fish market before 7 PM. Prices often drop after 5 PM.
- Day 5

- Day 6
Oslo
City tours usually start at 8:30 AM. Visit the Viking Ship Museum in the afternoon when it's less busy. The Munch Museum stays open until 9 PM on Thursdays. For dinner, look for restaurants in Grünerløkka instead of the more expensive harbor area.
- Day 7

Rushed. Day one is just arrival day. The first day on oyr departure city, Trondheim, was just limited to the Cathedral You have to arrive early on day - 1 to actually see and enjoy the city. Of course that means that the included transfer from the airport of day 1, is not provided. Instead they do give you a hotel to hotel transfer, on day 1. Every day you sleep on a different city. It eiuld be better if at least once
