Activity Hopping in Western Norway

Welcome to the gateway to the fjords—your journey begins in Bergen, Norway’s historic coastal gem. Upon arrival, you’ll pick up your rental car and make your way to the city center, where a day of culture, cuisine, and coastal views awaits. Start by exploring the iconic Bryggen in Bergen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its colorful wooden buildings, narrow alleyways, and rich Hanseatic history. Just steps away, you’ll find Bergen’s lively fish market, where you can browse local delicacies, from fresh seafood to handmade goods. Later, step aboard the Mostraumen Fjord Cruise for a stunning journey through narrow fjords and towering cliffs—an unforgettable way to experience Norway’s dramatic coastal landscape. After returning to Bergen, drive to your accommodation in Voss - the self-proclaimed adrenaline capital of Norway. After checking in head over to the restaurant for a well-deserved dinner. And when the night winds down a good nights sleep awaits in your room.

Wake up in the peaceful surroundings of Elva Voss and start your day with a relaxing breakfast before packing a lunch for the road. After checking out, it’s time to turn up the adrenaline. Just a short stroll from your accommodation, you’ll join Voss Active for an unforgettable whitewater rafting experience on the fast-flowing rivers just behind the hotel. Over the course of approximately four hours, you’ll navigate rapids, work as a team, and experience the raw power of nature up close—this is one of the best rafting spots in Norway. After your adventure, refuel with your packed lunch and take a moment to soak in the energy of the river. From Voss, enjoy a scenic 1 hour and 10-minute drive through dramatic mountain and fjord landscapes as you make your way to Aurland, a quiet and picturesque village nestled on the edge of the Aurlandsfjord. Check in at the charming Vangsgaarden Gjestgiveri, your base for the next three nights. In the evening, sit down to a well-deserved three-course dinner featuring local ingredients and traditional flavors—served with views of the fjord and the mountains that surround it.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at Vangsgaarden before packing a lunch for the road. Then it’s off to nearby Flåm, where your next adventure begins—a guided kayak trip with Njord Kayak on the stunning Aurlandsfjord. All equipment is provided, and you’ll start with an introduction to the gear right on the beach in Flåm. As you glide through the calm waters, your guide will share stories of the region’s deep-rooted Viking history. One of the day’s highlights is reaching Fronneset, home to ancient stone graves dating back to the Viking era. From here, you’ll have sweeping views across the fjord to Otternes, a historic cluster of farmsteads with centuries of cultural heritage. After the kayak tour, you can spend some time exploring Flåm or return to Aurland. If you’re up for more activity, consider a short hike to the famous Stegastein Viewpoint or challenge yourself with the Prest hike, both offering breathtaking views over the fjord and surrounding peaks. As the day winds down, head back to Vangsgaarden for another three-course dinner, where you can relax and relive the day’s unique journey through history and nature on the fjord.

Start your day with a long, relaxing breakfast at Vangsgaarden, then pack a lunch for the road. From Aurland, take the short drive back to Flåm where a unique mountain-to-fjord adventure begins. Board the Flåmsbana railway and ride up through steep valleys and lush terrain to Vatnahalsen, a stunning high-mountain station perched above the fjord. From here, take on Northern Europe’s longest zipline—a thrilling 1,382-meter descent to Kårdal, offering incredible views and an adrenaline rush you won’t forget. At Kårdal, swap your harness for handlebars as you pick up a bike and cruise downhill back to Flåm along the historic Rallarvegen trail. Along the way, make a stop at Rallarrosa Stølsysteri, a charming mountain farm where you can meet the goats (if they’re home) and sample their award-winning goat cheese and local products. Once back in Flåm, return your bikes and head back to Vangsgaarden in Aurland, where a final three-course dinner awaits—celebrating the last night of your stay with great food and even better views.

Enjoy your final breakfast by the fjords at Vangsgaarden and take in the peaceful morning light one last time before packing your lunch and heading for the mountains. Today, you’ll leave the fjord landscape behind and embark on a scenic 1 hour and 45-minute drive to Geilo, a high-mountain village known for its outdoor adventures and alpine charm. Upon arrival, you’ll meet the team at Geilo activity center for a memorable horseback riding trip into the wilderness. Starting from Brusletto Farm, you’ll be introduced to the basics of riding before setting off on a journey toward the majestic Hallingskarvet mountain range. Your route takes you to Budalsvannet, where you’ll cross the river on horseback and continue toward Havsdalen skisenter, riding along peaceful trails. The final stretch follows the historic Prestholtveien back to Brusletto Farm—an immersive way to experience the highlands like generations before you. After the ride, check in to the comfortable Vestlia Høyfjellshotell, where a three-course dinner awaits. Relax and unwind in the mountain air, knowing that you've just experienced Norway in a truly timeless way.

Start your final day with a hearty breakfast at Vestlia Høyfjellshotell, then pack your lunch and check out—it’s time for one last adrenaline-filled adventure before the journey wraps up. A short drive takes you to Dagali Fjellpark, where you’ll take on an action-packed day of canyoning and mountain cart racing. The day begins with a five-hour canyoning experience, where you'll climb, swim, slide, and jump your way through narrow gorges, waterfalls, and deep pools—an unforgettable way to connect with Norway’s wild nature. After drying off, enjoy your packed lunch before gearing up for something completely different: mountain carting.
