Easy Travel Norway · Bergen
Easy Travel Norway emails you the tickets for the classic loop from Bergen: train to Voss, bus to Gudvangen, two hours on the fjord, the Flåm Railway up to Myrdal and the train home. Pick it if you want to travel without a group but with the tickets sorted, and accept that it costs more than several guided days.
This is the Norway in a Nutshell route as a ticket bundle. You take the Bergen Line to Voss, the bus over to Gudvangen, a two-hour hybrid boat through the Nærøyfjord and the Aurlandsfjord to Flåm, the Flåm Railway up to Myrdal, and the Bergen Line back to Bergen. Tickets and a detailed itinerary come by email. Guests praise the instructions more than anything else.
Ignore three lines on the listing. The includes list mentions a guide, hotel pickup, and food and drinks; the same page says the trip is self-guided, and those lines look like template errors. You travel on public trains, buses and boats with everyone else. The listing also says the bus runs via Stalheimskleiva from May to September, but the upper part of that hairpin road is closed for restoration (Fjord Norway), so do not count on it.
Now the price. It costs more than the guided Viking village loop and the Fjordrive minibus day, which both include a guide. Fjord Tours sells Norway in a Nutshell directly, and you can also buy the pieces yourself on vy.no and norwaysbest.com. From 15 May to 15 September the operator may decline a booking when train tickets run out, so book early and wait for confirmation before you plan around it.
Your emailed ticket covers the train from Bergen to Voss.
The bus from Voss down Nærøydalen to Gudvangen takes one to two hours (operator).
A hybrid boat through the Nærøyfjord and the Aurlandsfjord.
Time between the boat and your train depends on the departures on your ticket.
