Hardangerfjord on a summer day by Sverre Hjornevik, Fjord Norway

Scenic Hardangerfjord

By road: From Oslo there are several roads you can take. We recommend road #7 across the beautiful Hardangervidda mountain plateau (National Park), where you can make a stop at the specacular Voringfoss waterfall and the Maabodal canyon, and you drive along the scenic Hardangerfjord. The entire trip takes approximately 7 to 8 hours. Add time for stops en route. We do not recommend driving across the mountains during the winter months.

What our customers say:

  • Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.

  • We just recently completed the Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour. I am writing to say what an amazing tour we had. Everything ran smoothly without an issue, the accommodation was fantastic and the tours were brilliant. We cannot fault the package at all. I would also like to thank Franziska and Lene, they both were fantastic in answering all my questions promptly, whilst booking the tour. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable holiday!

  • I wanted to thank everybody. We had a wonderful trip. Everything went well and fortunately we had the chance to see the lights while on the cruise. All my friends in Turkey would like to go on a similar trip. So I will be in touch with you. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.
