Bergen to Oslo, the scenic way

Easy Travel Norway sells you one day of tickets that turns the trip from Bergen to Oslo into the Norway in a Nutshell route: train, bus, fjord boat, the Flåm Railway and the Bergen Line across the mountains. Pick it if you are moving between the two cities anyway and would rather spend the day on the fjord than on a direct train.

Bergen to Oslo via the Flåm Railway, Self-Guided

About this experience

This is a one-way day. You meet at Bergen station 15 minutes before your train, ride the Bergen Line to Voss, take the bus to Gudvangen, sail the Nærøyfjord and the Aurlandsfjord to Flåm, ride the Flåm Railway up to Myrdal and stay on the Bergen Line all the way to Oslo. The listing gives about 16 hours. Myrdal to Oslo alone is about 4.5 to 5 hours by train (Vy).

Two template errors to ignore: the includes list mentions a guide and a train back to Bergen. The page also says self-guided, no guide, and the whole point is that you end in Oslo. Like its sister round-trip listing, it promises the Stalheimskleiva road from May to September; the upper part is closed for restoration (Fjord Norway), so expect the main road.

Mind the rules. Free cancellation ends 3 days before, not 24 hours as on most tours here. You carry your luggage through every change, from train to bus to boat to train, so pack light: this listing states no luggage limit, and its sister listing bans oversize bags. The "smart casual" dress code and the 15-traveller cap on the page read like template text for a self-guided ticket.

Tips before you book

  • Pack light: you change four times with your bags, at Voss, Gudvangen, Flåm and Myrdal.
  • Book a hotel near Oslo Central Station. You arrive late.
  • Views switch sides on the way up from Flåm. Most guides say sit on the right going up, and everyone gets out at Kjosfossen anyway.
  • Buy food in Flåm before the train. The ride from Myrdal to Oslo is long.
  • Set a reminder 3 days out: after that, cancelling costs you the full price.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tour return to Bergen?

No. It runs one way, from Bergen to Oslo. The "train back to Bergen" line in the includes list looks like a template error.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 3 days in advance, not 24 hours. That is stricter than the other day trips on this site.

Is there a guide?

No. The page says self-guided, with no guide. You get tickets and instructions, and guests say the instructions are clear.

Can I do the route from Oslo to Bergen instead?

Not with this listing, which runs Bergen to Oslo. Fjord Tours' Norway in a Nutshell can start in either city.
