Day 2: Scenic Journey through Forested Dales
Head out of Oslo, along the shores of Tyrifjord into Hallingdal, to the charming town of Geilo. On this scenic drive, you will pass delightful ski centres and travel through beautiful forested dales and plateaus. From Geilo you will continue this scenic journey to Lofthus, taking in such highlights as the impressive waterfall, Vøringfossen—the highest in Norway, with its 182-metre cascade—and the dramatic and narrow Måbødalen valley, along Eidfjord. Stay in a hotel or guesthouse in the Lofthus area.
Day 3: Dynamic Culture in Bergen

In this “must-visit” city, you will find Bryggen, listed by Unesco as a World Heritage site; exceptional old houses; a vibrant fish and flower market; cable cars offering stunning views; great museums; dynamic culture, and more. Stay in a hotel or guesthouse in Bergen.

Stay in a hotel or guesthouse in the Loen area.
Day 5: Wild Waterfalls in Geiranger Fjord
Start the day by driving to Hellesylt, where you will take the ferry on the Geiranger Fjord, 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. From Geiranger you will head on to Lom, a lovely town situated in the heart of Jotunheimen. In Lom you will find one of the few remaining stave churches in Norway and a geological museum that is well worth a visit. Stay in a hotel of guesthouse in the Lom area.
Day 6: Enjoy an Olympic Town
After a good breakfast, you will take on a full day’s drive, from Lom back to Oslo. On your way to the capital, you will be able to stop at the Olympic town of Lillehammer.
