This morning we leave Oslo by train and travel to Lillehammer, a charming town in eastern Norway, beautifully set on the shores of Lake Mjøsa and surrounded by forests and mountains. Its cosy centre, with cafés, shops and traditional wooden houses, creates a relaxed small-town atmosphere. Lillehammer is best known internationally for hosting the 1994 Winter Olympics, which helped establish it as one of Norway’s leading winter sports destinations.

In the afternoon, there’s the opportunity to visit the Lillehammer Olympic Museum, which explores Olympic history from ancient times to the present day, with a strong focus on the 1994 Games through original artefacts, interactive exhibits and multimedia displays. We’ll also visit Maihaugen, one of Norway’s largest open-air museums, offering a vivid insight into Norwegian history, culture and traditions.

Beginning the day in Lillehammer, we transfer to the Hemsedal valley for an unforgettable Arctic-style experience in the Norwegian mountains. We’ll enjoy husky sledding along snow-covered trails, travelling through beautiful mountain landscapes, forests and open terrain for a real sense of adventure and tranquillity. The Hemsedal Huskies are energetic, well-cared-for Alaskan huskies, known for their strength, friendliness and love of running. Before setting off, we’ll meet the huskies, learn how a dog team works, and receive an introduction to mushing and handling the sled or cart.

In the afternoon, we continue to Flåm, beautifully located at the inner end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. Surrounded by steep mountains, waterfalls and deep valleys, it’s known as one of Norway’s most dramatic fjord destinations.

Along the way, our guide will share engaging stories about the fjords, local life and the region’s rich history. The journey reaches its turning point at the dramatic Sagfossen waterfall before returning to Flåm, leaving you with lasting impressions of Norway’s winter beauty. The afternoon is then at leisure in Flåm.

Day Six: Riding the scenic Flåm Railway

Day Six: Riding the scenic Flåm Railway

After breakfast, we board the famous Flåm Railway, often regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys. The railway climbs 900 metres from the village of Flåm, deep in the Aurlandsfjord, to the mountain station of Myrdal. Along the way, the train winds through narrow valleys, past sheer cliffs, and alongside rushing rivers and waterfalls. 

Highlights include views of deep gorges, traditional mountain farms clinging to the hillsides, and the impressive Kjosfossen waterfall, where the train often makes a short stop. With its steep gradient and ever-changing scenery, this journey is an unforgettable showcase of Norway’s wild and beautiful landscapes. At Myrdal, we continue by train to Bergen, travelling through some of Norway’s most spectacular scenery, from rolling hills and dense forests to tranquil lakes and dramatic mountain landscapes. On arrival in Bergen, we check in to our hotel, and the rest of the afternoon is free at leisure.

Day Seven: Bergen City Tour

Bergen is a lively coastal city, celebrated for its rich history, striking natural surroundings and vibrant cultural heritage. During our city tour, we’ll explore both modern landmarks and the old wooden town, wandering along broad streets and narrow alleyways. A highlight is Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 14th-century Hanseatic League, whose colourful wooden buildings, historic charm and winding passages make it one of Bergen’s most iconic sights.

We’ll also visit Bergen’s famous Fish Market, a lively city-centre spot where you can sample fresh seafood, local produce and traditional Norwegian specialities—an excellent way to experience the local culture and cuisine. The tour continues to Bergenhus Fortress, one of Norway’s oldest and best-preserved fortifications, as well as St. Mary’s Church and the beautiful City Park.

Essential Information

Transfer time
From Oslo Airport to Oslo it is approximately 40 minutes. From Bergen to Bergen Airport it is approximately 25 minutes.
Important information
A reasonable level of fitness is required for this tour as there will be a walking tour in Bergen and you will need to be able to get on and off trains with your luggage. 
Dress code
The dress code for during the day is casual. In the evenings the dress code is smart casual. Comfortable warm shoes for walking and sightseeing are highly recommended. This time of the year the temperature doesn't get much above freezing, so be sure to bring layers that will keep you warm, with wool and insulating layers. Bring a comfortable coat, thick scarf, hat and gloves. Insulated boots and thermal tops are also a good idea.
Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of 350 NOK per person. 
 
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate add on.
Passport, Visa & Entry Requirements

Passport validity

If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements. Your passport must be:
  • issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)
  • valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)
You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

Visas

You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training. If you are travelling to Norway and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.
 

From the 12th October 2025 the EU is introducing a new European Entry System (EES) that will be phased in and fully operational by the 10th April 2026. Non-EU nationals including British passport holders will now be required to complete biometric checks on arrival and exit to Schengen countries, which will include facial recognition and fingerprints. There is no cost for this, and no action needs to be taken prior to departure.

Health Requirements
Compulsory vaccinations: None. At least 8 weeks before your trip, check the latest country-specific health advice from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) on the TravelHealthPro website. Each country-specific page has information on vaccine recommendations, any current health risks or outbreaks, and factsheets with information on staying healthy abroad. 
 
Guidance is also available from NHS (Scotland) on the FitForTravel website. General information on travel vaccinations and a travel health checklist is available on the NHS website. You may then wish to contact your health adviser or pharmacy for advice on other preventive measures and managing any pre-existing medical conditions while you’re abroad.
