Norway by Design and History with Juvet

Bergen is known as the "The Gateway to the Fjords of Norway" and it is a lively town with small-town charm and international feel. We have included a walking tour via the famous fish market and along the Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf which is architecturally unique and listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Also worth a visit is the Fløibanen funicular which will take you to Mount Fløyen for the best views over the town.

Start your trip by heading to Voss and cross Norway's longest fjord, the Sognefjord. Make sure you stop often enough to enjoy the views on the way to your destination, Fjærland Fjordstue Hotel.

This morning join a easy hike around the Mundal Valley, walking on farmers gravel roads. It is an easy and peaceful trail with an ascent of 0 - 350m, with a final steeper section that leads you to an old 'seater', where milking cows and sheep are grazing. Here you could have lunch, and walk the same way back again.

In the afternoon, if time allows, you could do a drive to discover more of Lusterfjord in the inner reaches of the Sognefjord. Depending on time, you can drive through some of Norway's most spectacular and scenic areas, past the UNESCO's World Heritage Urnes Stave Church and through picturesque small villages.

Relax in the floating sauna in the late afternoon before dinner.

This morning, drive to Loen and take the gondola up to the top of Loen Skylift. Continue on to Juvet Landscape Hotel near the spectacular Gudbrandsjuvet falls. Juvet is like nothing else in Norway, as it combines the traditional old with modern architecture right in the middle of dramatic Norwegian scenery.

This morning, join a kayak tour on the Norddalsfjorden, just outside Valldal. Your guide will share of their local knowledge, and stories, tales and legends are told to give you an fun and interesting insight to the daily life in Valldal.

The afternoon is free for exploration before enjoying another night at the Juvet Landscape hotel.

This morning, drive towards your final destination Ålesund and join a sea safari. Sail over the ocean to the outward outposts of Nordic nature and get up close to the unique local wildlife in a non-intrusive, but naturally immersive manner. The Wildlife Sea Safari will make you feel like you’re in the middle of your own National Geographic wildlife TV series. Gaze out on seal colonies, the occasional whale, pods of dolphins and a wide and wonderful variety of Atlantic puffins, Black-legged kittiwakes, Common guillemots, Fulmars, Razorbills, and Northern gannets to name just a few of the bird species on view.

Return your hire car this morning at the airport before proceeding to your onward destination.
