About

Fjord Norway is the perfect destination for a family holiday, and there are lots of exciting activities to choose from for older children and teenagers. You can go cycling, climbing, fishing and kayaking, and explore nature in safe and interesting environments. An adventure awaits in the mountains and fjords between Bergen and Ålesund that will create family memories for life.

Bergen – Voss, 110 km, 2 h
The city between the seven mountains has so much to offer for both children and adults. Try Norway’s fastest zipline at the top of Mount Ulriken or go for a more gentle walk and grill sausages over an open fire on Mount Fløyen. If you're not afraid of heights, a climb up the Via Ferrata on Herdla is highly recommended. You can also go kayaking between small islands and inlets. 

Relax after an exciting day with a stroll along Bryggen and a well-deserved ice cream. The next day, head for Voss. Voss is a well-known paradise for outdoor activities. Here, the whole family can enjoy the climbing park, try flying in a wind tunnel or go family rafting on the Vosso river. For a more relaxed activity, try your luck fishing from a canoe or from land and see who can catch the biggest trout.

Voss – Flåm, 65 km, 1 h
Try your hand at archery or axe throwing in true Viking style in Gudvangen’s Viking village before heading for Flåm. 

Cycling in Flåmsdalen valley can be adapted to all levels. You can start at Myrdal for a steeper, more demanding ride and stop for a reward at Rallarrosa traditional mountain farm and dairy. There is also a less steep descent from Berekvam or Blomheller. Whichever way you choose, you are sure to meet a few curious goats en route.

For a high-speed thrill on the Nærøyfjord, take a fjord safari on a RIB. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a porpoise frolicking in the fjord.

Flåm – Jostedal, 130 km, 1 ferry, 3 h​​​​​​
The next adventure awaits just past the orchards of Sogndal, deep in the Jostedalen valley – a guided glacier trip on the Nigardsbreen glacier. With helmets, ice picks and snow shoes, the whole family will manage to conquer this mighty glacier!

Jostedal – Fjærland, 100 km, 2 h
It’s time to make a pit stop in the beautiful village of Fjærland. Make sure you visit the mammoths at the Norwegian Glacier Museum and sample the waffles in the café, and look for treasures among the thousands of second-hand books in the Norwegian Book Town.

Fjærland – Loen, 100 km, 1 h 30 min
There are lots of walks to choose from in Loen, and the Loen Skylift cable car is the perfect place to start. For families with hiking experience who want a challenge, the Via Ferrata and the walk across the Gjølmunnebrua suspension bridge at 750 metres is an experience of a lifetime. 

You can also hire a pedal boat here on the beautiful Nordfjord - and consider a detour to Briksdalsbreen glacier, at the end of Oldevatnet.

Loen – Ålesund, 140 km, 1 ferry, 3 h
The Art Nouveau town of Ålesund awaits on the last leg of the journey. Learn about the town’s history at the Art Nouveau Centre and take in the view from Mount Aksla. The walk up is nice if you have the energy, or you can take the sightseeing train to the top.

Atlanterhavsparken is one of Europe’s most unique aquariums, where you can see seals, penguins, wolf fish and gigantic cod close up. You can also take a boat trip just outside the town and let the family try their luck at fishing.
