The programme

We will leave from Flåm, on one of the inner branches of the Sognefjord (which, extending more than 200 km inland, is the longest fjord in Norway), and travel the inner edge of the Aurlandsfjord by boat. The word 'fjord' is of Norwegian origin and indicates a marine cove of glacial origin that is usually narrow, with steep shorelines that extend below sea level.
We will then continue along the Nærøyfjord which, due to its geological features and the incomparable beauty of its natural landscape, was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. We will move slowly on across the fjord, which is 17 km in length and roughly 500 m deep, and surrounded by the steep slopes of the mountains (up to 1400 metres), passing waterfalls and navigating narrow sections (the narrowest measures 250 metres).
Having reached the edge of the fjord, we will disembark in the small village of Gudvangen, where we will board a coach.
After a stop to admire the view of the wide valley below, we will return to Flåm, retracing the Nærøy valley and crossing a long series of tunnels.
