Our tour starts in the city of Bergen - the Gateway to the Fjords. The city was founded in 1070 and contains many historical and cultural landmarks. We will pass some of them on our way from the city and also on our return to Bergen.

We pass through the town of Voss on our way to Gudvangen. The main historical attractions are Vangskyrkja - church from 1277, and the St.Olaf's cross from 1023.

We make a stop at Tvindefossen waterfall, located 12 km (7.5 miles) to the north of Voss town center. We can come close this cascading 110 meters (360 ft) tall waterfall.

Our next stop is at the Sendefossen waterfall on our way up to Vikafjellet mountain area.

On our way down from Vikafjellet mountains, we stop at Storesvingen cafe for a cup of coffee (to go) and stunning view over the bay of Vik and the Sognefjord.

First stop in Vik is at Hopperstad stave church – a wooden church from ca. 1130. It is, together with Urnes, the oldest stave church in existence.

We come to the center of Vik – a small village on the Songnefjord. Some say that the word Viking comes from here. We stop here for lunch and maybe a little walk through cosy streets. The car ferry leaves at 2:00pm.

It is time for a fjord cruise on the King of the Fjords – the Songefjord – the longest fjord in Norway! We leave on a small car ferry from Vik. The ferry is mostly exclusively used by local people, coming to or going from hard-to-reach, secluded villages and farms on the fjord's shore. If we are lucky, the ferry will stop at some remote farms hidden inside picturesque bays. The fjord cruise is about 1.5 hours long.

After disembarking the ferry, we have a pleasant drive along the Sognefjord before we reach the village of Bjordal – from here, we travel off the beaten track through the mountains to our next stop: Stordalen Mountain Lodge.

We stop at Stordalen Mountain Lodge for a cup of coffee. If you are interested in WW2 history, this place has a story to tell.

Descending from the mountains, we come to the Matresfjord. We are on our way back to Bergen.

The next stop is optional: We can prolong this tour with a visit to Bjørn West Museum in Matre – Museum of Norwegian guerrilla during WW2. This is a private visit after the museum's closing time and has to be booked in advance. Entrance fees apply.

We travel along the Osterfjord to Bergen.

Before returning to Bergen we will cross the fjord on the second longest bridge in Norway – the Nordhordlandsbrua – part floating part suspension bridge.

The tour ends in Bergen. Suggested scheduled time for return is 7:30pm.
