This tour is a journey that brings together the dramatic beauty of the Norwegian fjords and the Arctic wonderland of Northern Norway. From serene fjords to the dazzling Northern Lights, this adventure offers the perfect blend of iconic scenery and exotic experiences.
The dark night sky stretches endlessly overhead, yet it feels so close — like a whisper only you can hear.
The crisp, arctic breeze is kissing your skin, and as the profound silence is only broken by the soft rush of a husky sled gliding over snow.
Suddenly the sky bursts into color. The Northern Lights swirl and dance, alive and untouchable, as if the universe is putting on a private show just for you.
It’s overwhelming, this feeling of wonder, as though you’ve stepped into a dream too vivid to be real.
But, there is more!
The arctic wilderness gives way to majestic fjords. On the Flåm Railway, the landscape unfolds like a painting – cascading waterfalls, towering cliffs, and vast, untamed beauty.
The landscape fills you with a quiet sense of admiration. You feel small yet deeply connected, as if nature is inviting you to pause and take it all in.
And then the fjords — calm and endless, their glassy surface reflecting the sky.
Towering mountains close in, their dark silhouettes stretching across the water. The fjords grip your attention, leaving you in quiet awe, as if standing on the edge of endless possibilities.
Time slows, and for a moment, you exist only here; in this vast, quiet wonder.
As you leave Flåm’s peaceful charm, you arrive in Bergen’s lively atmosphere. Even though it’s not a big city, Bergen has a vibrant energy. The seven mountains surrounding it feel like a melting pot of culture, music, art, and food.
Every moment here offers something special, making it an ideal place to relax and reflect on your journey.
“Deep fjords and the high north” is more than a trip; it’s a journey into the heart of Norway’s beauty and your own sense of awe.
