If you arrive early, we suggest buying an Oslo Pass for free travel on all public transit along with free admission to over 30 museums and attractions plus special offers on entertainment, restaurants, shops and more. The pass can be purchased at tourist information centres or at most hotels and major attractions in the city. Spend the night at a hotel in central Oslo.

Day 2:   The Scenic Mountain Valley

In the morning, collect your rental car in Oslo and start your journey through the Hallingdal Valley on your way to Geilo, a charming mountain village. On this scenic drive, you will travel past steep ski hills, through beautiful forests and over plateaus with great views. Spend the night at a hotel in Geilo. Driving distance approx. 240 km / 149 mi.

Day 3: The Magnificent Hardangerfjord
From Geilo, you will continue the journey to Bergen. The drive will take you past the Hardangervidda National Park to the inner parts of beautiful Hardangerfjord, with its spectacular views. On your way you will pass such highlights as the impressive waterfall, Vøringfossen—the highest in Norway, with a 182-metre cascade—and the dramatic and narrow Måbødalen valley, along Eidfjord. Spend the night at a hotel in Bergen. Driving distance approx. 240 km / 149 mi.

Spend the night at a hotel in Bergen. 

Day 5: The World’s Longest and Deepest Fjord
The day will start by heading to Norway’s adventure capital, Voss. In Voss, you can try out one of the many thrilling activities the town and its hinterland have to offer. Another option would be to visit the beautiful Aurlandsfjorden, to experience the truly enjoyable train ride between Flåm and Myrdal. Your journey will continue as you head on to the Sognefjorden—Norway’s longest and deepest fjord—taking in such highlights as the town of Stalheim and Aurlandsdalen, before reaching Sogndal, your final destination of the day. Spend the night at a hotel in the Sogndal area. Driving distance approx. 240 km / 149 mi.

Day 6: Glacier and Geirangerfjord

Head out for another exciting day in the fjords and mountains of Norway. From Sogndal, drive the Fjærlands Road to see the graceful Jostedal Glacier, mainland Europe’s largest icecap. Then continue via Lake Jolster, Loen and Stryn to Hellesylt, where you will take the ferry on the lovely Geirangerfjord, which can easily be considered the most beautiful fjord in the world. Here you will find magnificent and impressive waterfalls, such as the Seven Sisters and Bridal Veil. Spend the night at a hotel in the Geiranger area. Driving distance approx. 210 km / 130 mi. 

Day 7: Ålesund’s beautiful Art Nouveau architecture
Enjoy a relaxing morning in Geiranger before taking the shortest road across Nordalsfjorden, and along Storfjorden to Ålesund. Spend the rest of the day exploring the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture in the city centre, or visiting the Atlantic Sea Park. If you want to learn more about the history of the town, visit the Sunnmøre Museum or the Jugend Center Museum. You should also walk the stairs up to the city mountain Aksla, to enjoy the stunning view from Fjellstua. Spend the night at a hotel in Ålesund. Driving distance approx. 110 km / 68 mi.  

Day 8: Gudbrandsdalen and the Olympic Town of Lillehammer
Drive from Ålesund through Gudbrandsdalen to Lillehammer, the host town of the 1994 Winter Olympics. In Lillehammer, you can visit the Maihaugen open-air museum, the Olympic Museum and/or the Lysgårdsbakken Olympic Arena. Spend the night at a hotel in Lillehammer. Driving distance approx. 380 km / 236 mi.  

Day 9: Oslo, the End of Line 
Start the day in Lillehammer and then drive to Oslo, to close the circle. In Oslo, you can spend the rest of the day visiting Frognerparken, the Holmenkollen ski jumping arena, or just relax and enjoy a good meal at one of the capital’s many fabulous restaurants.
