You can get from Bergen to Fl\u00e5m and up to Myrdal in three unhurried days without a car. The trip uses four kinds of transport over about 200 kilometres, and its slowest part, two hours by ferry on the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord, is the one you will remember.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Day 1: Bergen to Voss on the Bergen Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Bergen Line leaves from the station at the edge of the old town and takes a little over an hour to Voss. Sit on the left side: the line follows the water for long stretches and then climbs into a valley of birch trees and small farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Voss is a sports town, busy in winter and calm in early summer. I arrived at noon, left my bag at the guesthouse and walked the path around the lake in the afternoon. It is flat, about six kilometres, and you have the mountains in front of you the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Buy your train ticket on the website of the Norwegian railway and choose a seat. On summer weekends the trains from Bergen are full by Friday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t

    Day 2: down to Gudvangen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    From Voss a bus runs to Gudvangen in about an hour. The road drops through the N\u00e6r\u00f8y valley, and on some departures the bus takes the old road past the Stalheim hotel with its view down the valley. Ask the driver which way he goes; it depends on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gudvangen is a ferry pier, a few houses and a waterfall. Arrive early enough to buy a coffee and find a place on the open deck before the ferry fills up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Day 2: the ferry through the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The ferry from Gudvangen to Fl\u00e5m takes about two hours. For the first hour it passes through the N\u00e6r\u00f8yfjord, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site together with the Geirangerfjord. In places the walls are so close that you can hear the waterfalls over the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most ferries on this route are now electric, so the boat is quiet enough to hear the gulls. Bring a warm layer even in July: on the water it is several degrees cooler than on land.<\/p>\n\n\n
