This luxurious 10-day itinerary takes you west from Oslo to Bergen, checking off glassy fjords, verdant valleys, and some of the country's finest boutique hotels in between. After island hopping around the Norwegian capital, a wildly scenic journey on the Flåm Railway leads to the fjordside towns of Aurland and Balestrand, where you'll hike to hidden waterfalls, learn to fly fish in the pristine Aurland River, unwind in a floating sauna, and sip cider on the shores of the Sognefjord.
Winter in Norway is as beautiful as it is varied. Along the coast, salty winds meet misty rain and mild temperatures; inland, snow blankets deep forests and mountain valleys; and above the Arctic Circle, crisp nights reveal the northern lights dancing across the sky. With weather that can shift from drizzle to deep freeze in a single day, layering is your best strategy for comfort and warmth. Read on to learn how to dress for a wintry itinerary in Norway.
This 13-day road trip explores western and northern Norway's picturesque fjords, vibrant cities, and sparkling glaciers. Kick off in Bergen to stroll the historic waterfront and explore the seven mountains.

Next is Fjærland, where you'll walk on the Haugabreen Glacier before flying to the Lofoten Islands. Finish the adventure with a self-guided tour of Tromsø, gateway to the Arctic.

When we’re planning the trip at one point we lost a hotel room for a night she sent us from Flåm to Balestrand and it was one of the best nights we had on the whole trip. Short stay but one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. In addition, she was so attentive to our needs and the hotels were in the perfect location that adventures and tours were set up perfectly. I will definitely definitely use this group again because they know what they’re doing.
