7-days Oslo to Bergen - Winter in the Norwegian Fjords

As you step off the plane and breathe in the crisp Nordic air, you are officially beginning your journey through one of the most awe-inspiring countries in the world. Welcome to Norway—land of majestic fjords, timeless legends, and natural wonder.

Upon arrival, you will be transferred from the airport to your hotel in Oslo. Depending on the time of day, you might already immerse yourself in Oslo’s charm. Stroll through the elegant Karl Johans gate, lined with cafés and boutiques, or pause before the Royal Palace, where history quietly meets modern life.

Oslo, once a modest Viking settlement, is now a vibrant capital, gracefully balanced between cutting-edge design and centuries-old tradition. A fun fact: during the long summer days, Oslo enjoys up to 18 hours of daylight—ideal for wandering without checking the clock.

In the evening, meet your Tour Leader at the hotel reception for a warm welcome and detailed introduction to your journey ahead. If you arrive later, this meeting will take place over breakfast the next morning.

Greca Tip: If you arrive early, visit the harbor area of Aker Brygge for a scenic walk along the fjord—it’s a perfect way to begin feeling the rhythm of Norway.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will have the day at leisure to explore Oslo at our own pace, allowing ourselves to be immersed in the harmony between nature and modernity that defines the Norwegian capital.

For those seeking a more complete experience, we recommend joining an optional panoramic excursion, which includes a visit to Frogner Park—home to the iconic sculptures by Gustav Vigeland—as well as the Royal Palace and City Hall, key symbols of the country’s history and culture. This tour offers a comfortable and enriching overview of the city.

Optionally, you may also visit the famous Holmenkollen ski jump, where you can enjoy breathtaking views over the fjord and the city, or spend the rest of the day strolling along Karl Johan Street, lively and full of shops, cafés, and charming local spots.

At the end of the day, we will return to the hotel to rest. After dinner at our leisure, we will stay at the planned hotel, enjoying a pleasant and comfortable stay in this elegant Scandinavian capital. Dinner is not included.

Greca Tip: If you join the panoramic tour, keep your camera ready—Oslo offers unique contrasts between modern architecture and natural landscapes at every turn.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will meet our tour guide to begin one of the most scenic days of the journey. We will walk together to Oslo train station, where we will board the train to Myrdal (departures scheduled at 06:25 or 08:25, subject to availability). In case of an early departure, a practical breakfast box will be provided to take away.

The journey will lead us through increasingly dramatic landscapes until we reach Myrdal, a remote mountain station located about 13 km from Flåm. There, we will change trains to experience one of the most spectacular railway journeys in the world: the legendary Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana), one of the steepest and most scenic train lines in existence.

Along the way, we will pass through breathtaking natural scenery: majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls that seem to fall from the sky, deep valleys, and more than 20 tunnels carved through the rock. Each curve reveals a new postcard view, making this journey a true passage between mountain and fjord.

Upon arrival in Flåm, we will take a short walk to the hotel for check-in. The rest of the day will be at leisure to enjoy this charming village nestled between mountains and tranquil waters.

In the evening, we will enjoy a delicious included dinner and stay at the planned hotel, surrounded by the unique serenity of the Norwegian fjords.

Note: For the New Year’s departure, accommodation will be in Voss.

Greca Tip: Keep your camera ready during the Flåm Railway journey—some of the most stunning views appear unexpectedly and last only a few moments.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will prepare to experience one of the most memorable moments of the journey: a winter cruise through the Nærøyfjord, where Norwegian nature reveals itself in all its splendor. We will sail along this narrow and majestic fjord, surrounded by towering mountains whose snow-covered peaks rise up to 1,800 meters above sea level, creating a landscape of almost unreal beauty.

Along the way, we will witness waterfalls cascading down icy slopes and small villages appearing like living postcards within this wild setting. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Nærøyfjord is considered one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, and in winter it takes on an even more magical and peaceful atmosphere.

Upon arrival in Gudvangen, we will take a shared regular bus back to Flåm, completing this unforgettable journey through the fjords.

At the end of the day, we will return to the hotel to rest. In the evening, we will enjoy a delicious included dinner and stay at the planned hotel or similar, surrounded by the unique serenity of this corner of Norway. (For the New Year’s departure, accommodation will be in Voss).

Greca Tip: If weather permits, step out onto the deck during the cruise—the cold air enhances the experience and allows you to fully appreciate the vastness of the landscape.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will have the morning at leisure to bid farewell to Flåm at our own pace, taking in once more the deep tranquility of the fjords and their dreamlike landscapes.

At the scheduled time, we will take a short walk to the train station, where we will begin our journey to Bergen, once again crossing some of Norway’s most spectacular scenery. We will board the panoramic train to Myrdal (estimated departure 11:05, arrival 12:01), and after the connection, continue to Bergen (departure 13:00, arrival 14:57; schedules subject to change). Along the way, the landscapes will gradually transform, guiding us from the dramatic fjords to the vibrant Norwegian coastline.

Upon arrival in Bergen, a UNESCO World Heritage city and recognized as one of Europe’s cultural capitals, we will begin to experience its unique charm: a perfect balance between nature, history, and urban life. Known as the gateway to the fjords, Bergen welcomes us with its maritime atmosphere, colorful wooden houses, and an exceptional natural setting.

From the station, we will take a short walk to the hotel for check-in.

We will stay at the planned hotel, enjoying a pleasant stay in this charming coastal city.

Greca Tip: If you arrive with some time to spare, head to the Bryggen district at sunset; its colorful wooden houses reflected on the water create one of Norway’s most iconic views.

After enjoying our breakfast, we will set out to discover Bergen at our own pace, allowing ourselves to be captivated by the charm of one of Norway’s most picturesque cities.

We suggest beginning with a stroll through its colorful historic center, where every corner tells a story. You may explore the iconic Hanseatic district of Bryggen, with its traditional wooden houses, visit the historic St. Mary’s Church, and admire the imposing Håkon’s Fortress, all witnesses to the city’s medieval past. A stop at the lively fish market is a must, where local aromas and flavors reflect Bergen’s deep maritime heritage.

To complete the experience, we recommend taking the famous Fløibanen funicular, which will bring you to the top of Mount Fløyen. From there, you will enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the city, the harbor, and the surrounding fjords—an unforgettable postcard moment.

At the end of the day, we will return to the hotel to rest. We will stay at the planned hotel, enjoying a comfortable stay in this charming coastal city.

Greca Tip: Ride the funicular close to sunset—the golden light over Bergen’s rooftops creates a truly magical

As your Norwegian adventure comes to a close, take a quiet moment over your final breakfast buffet at the hotel to relive the awe-inspiring landscapes, the power of ancient glaciers, and the serenity of the northern fjords that have been your companions on this journey.

This morning, you may enjoy some last-minute strolls through Oslo or pick up meaningful souvenirs that carry the spirit of the Vikings and the magic of the North. When the time comes, you will be comfortably taken to the airport with your private transfer, arranged according to upir flight schedule.

Though your bags may be packed, you leave with something far more precious: the memory of Norway’s wild beauty and peaceful soul together with Greca.

Greca Tip: For your flight home, keep a warm layer within reach—airplanes can feel chilly after days of fresh Nordic air!
