Have you ever wanted to visit Norway? But didn’t know which location to choose. We often imagine Norway as a country of magnificent fjords and epic landscapes, but how do you get to these remote places? And how do you choose the best location from which to explore? Well, Netferry can help you with this, we recommend that instead of heading by aeroplane straight for Oslo, why not travel by ferry to somewhere along the coast to make the most of the journey and make your holiday more environmentally friendly. 

Netferry recommends heading to the little-known port of Flåm, a little village to the west of the capital situated in an area that is famous for fjords. Flåm lies at the end of Aurlandsfjord fjord, which is a branch of the vast Sognefjord fjord. Sognefjorden is also known as the King of the Fjords because it is the broadest and deepest fjord in Norway, stretching 205 kilometres inland from the sea.

Taking the train between Flåm and Myrdal is a beautiful excursion while in the village, as the train journey has some spectacular scenery along the way. This railway line between Flåm and Myrdal runs every day, you begin at sea level in Flåm, and then you head up to Myrdal, a mountain railway station, almost 900 meters above sea level. The route goes through gorgeous mountain scenery, including a few waterfalls and some extremely steep mountainsides. The journey is so lovely that halfway through, the train makes a photo stop at the impressive Kjosfossen waterfall. 

Another great activity to do in Flåm is to take a boat trip along the fjords, admiring them from water level makes you appreciate their epic size! The company that runs the fjord tours is called Flåm Guide Service, and they have daily departures all year round! Be sure to wear some warm clothes, but in case you forget, the lovely people at Flåm Guide Service will lend you some more layers. There is also the option to go hiking with local guides, who use their expertise to take you into the hills safely to get some brilliant views. They have many routes available depending on your level of experience.
