Ålesund, Norvegian
We organise it, you enjoy it.
Your trip to Norway will start with the incredible and iconic town of Ålesund, which you will discover on foot and by kayak through its canals. The next day, you’ll head to Norway’s most beautiful fjords, staying in Geiranger Fjord.
And you’ll finish your trip in Bergen, one of Norway’s most authentic and cultural capitals.
We offer a programme that can be fully adapted to your needs and tastes, and to the number of days you have available to enjoy Norway.
How does it work?
We prepare a complete roadbook with all the information you need to make the most of your holiday in Norway: what to see, which roads to take, what to visit at each point of interest… We’ll also take care of your rental car (which you can collect from the airport), hotel bookings during your trip and some of the activities on offer. If you would also like us to arrange air tickets or other optional activities, we can do that too (please note that air tickets and activities are not included in the basic price of the programme, and will therefore be budgeted for separately).

This standard programme can be adapted to suit you in terms of duration and activities.
DAY 1. Flight from your place of origin to Ålesund.
Pick up the rental car you have already booked and available at the airport and drive to the hotel.
DAY 2. Discovering Ålesund.
Famous for its art nouveau architecture, the city of Ålesund is the cultural centre of the region.
Stroll through the streets of one of Norway’s most unique cities… or explore the city by water.
Kayak the fantastic Brosundet Canal, which runs through the city centre.
Kayaking the fjord is an experience that takes you into nature and allows you to interact closely with it.
DAY 3. Road trip by car between Ålesund and Geiranger (about 2.5 hours, including ferry time).
The attraction of this route is as much in the journey as the destination. To get to Geiranger Fjord we pass the impressive Trollstigen (Trollstigen). The road has eleven 180° bends with a 9% gradient. The maximum height is 858 metres above sea level. It was inaugurated in 1936 by King Haavkon VII.
The road continues towards the deep Geiranger Fjord, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 2005. On the way you can stop at the Gudbrandsjuvet waterfall.
Continue along road 63 to Linge where you take a ferry to Eidsdal. About 15 minutes on the ferry and then continue by road to Geiranger, the final destination of this stage.
Spend the rest of the day in Geiranger, where you can drive up the road to the mountain pass to see the views of the fjord from there, it is well worth it.
Please note: This road could be closed due to snow (in May you never know…). In this case you will have to modify the route and look for alternative routes through the valleys (and it means taking more railways). Normally, they open at the end of April/May.
DAY 4. Road trip, by car between Geiranger and Bergen (about 8, including ferry time).
The route to Bergen will take about 8 hours, including time on two ferries.
The first one you take in the village of Geiranger itself, a short trip across the Storfjord in the village of Hellesylt. A 1,30 min. ferry ride. From there, you continue by road in the direction of Hella.
After about 3 hours drive you will pass Olden before arriving in Hella.
You can take a detour to see the Briksdal Glacier. It takes about 25 minutes to enter the glacier. And on a short excursion you can see this amazing place.
You can take the Kaupanger ferry and do a stretch through the Fjord of Dreams (Sognefjord) to Gudvanen or continue by road and see the famous Flan waterfalls. Here too you will be conditioned by road conditions.
DAY 5. Bergen.
Free day: there is no specific programme. You simply visit and stroll around this charming city.
Do not miss:
- Fløibanen Funicular
Taking this funicular is a must. A trip on the Fløibanen funicular is a great experience, with the two carriages transporting people up the mountain for over 100 years. - Bergen Fish Market
This market has a charming location in the heart of the city, between the fjords and the 7 mountains of Bergen. Since the 12th century, the Bergen Fish Market has been a meeting place for traders and fishermen. - Bryggen in Bergen
Bergen’s first buildings were located at Bryggen, which has been a vibrant and important part of the city for many centuries. Bryggen has suffered many fires, notably that of 1702.
DAY 6. Flight home from Bergen
This programme is perfect for those who wish to travel at their own pace and have the freedom to make their own decisions, but at the same time want the security of having the entire trip organised by knowledgeable professionals.
No particular physical condition is required. The trip is suitable for everyone.
