Journey into the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' Take in Norway's incredible natural wonders Day 9. Rauma Railway, Geiranger. Stunning scenery awaits today as we join the 114-kilometre-long Rauma Railway for a journey through magnificent, contrasting landscapes. We navigate the same course as the emerald waters of the River Rauma as it winds around the hillsides below jagged peaks for much of the journey. As we climb over mountain plateaus, we are treated to awesome views across the expansive and unspoiled national parks that stretch into the distance. We'll spend the next two nights in Geiranger. Stay (Two Nights): Union Hotel Geiranger. BD Day 10. Geirangerfjord Cruise. We take in the exquisite scenery of the spectacular Geirangerfjord by boat today. As we cruise along the serene, deep water, the steep sides of the fjord seem to tower over the boat. This World Heritage-listed site is alive with colours and contrasts – the lush greens of the trees clinging to the rock set against the deep blue water and the brilliant white of the snow- capped peaks in the distance. When it rains, waterfalls appear from nowhere, flowing majestically over exposed rocky outcrops and crashing into the water below. B Day 11. Flåm. We leave Geiranger by coach this morning, continuing our scenic voyage through Norway's incredible fjord country. Travel through valleys hemmed in by lofty mountains and along steep- sided fjords, every bend in the road a new and interesting perspective. We reach Flåm at the head of the Aurlandsfjord. Stay: Flåm, Fretheim Hotel. BD Day 12. Flåm Railway, Bergen. Today we enjoy a superb excursion aboard the Flåm Railway. Our journey takes us up into the mountains along one of the steepest railways in the world, twisting and turning as the line accommodates the extreme terrain. We reach the end at Myrdal and return to Flåm. Here we board an express boat for an afternoon cruise along Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord. After navigating coastal islets and skerries, the day ends in Bergen. Stay (Two Nights): Bergen, Clarion Hotel Admiral. BD Day 13. Bergen. There's plenty of opportunities to explore Bergen with a full day at leisure. The town is nestled beneath seven hills and is surrounded by fjords. Bryggen, the old city, is a World Heritage site, and the Fløibanen funicular railway affords great views of the city and its harbours from the top of Mount Fløien. B Day 14. Bergen Railway, Oslo. We depart Bergen by train for a magnificent journey on Northern Europe's highest railway line, the Bergen Railway. The train climbs high above the tree line across some of the most remote and remarkable areas of Western Norway, before descending through pastures on the way to Oslo. Stay: Oslo, Thon Hotel Opera. BD Day 15. Depart Oslo. This morning is free to spend at leisure in Oslo before transferring to the airport for your onward flight.
