Individual arrival. Upon arrival, enjoy a few hours in Norway's capital. A stroll along Oslo's grand boulevard, Karl Johans Gate, is a must, as are the museums on the Bygdøy peninsula. The subsequent leg to the idyllic town of Lillehammer, which boasts historic wooden houses, modern sports facilities, and a magnificent landscape, takes approximately two and a half hours. Lillehammer hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics. The Maihaugen Open-Air Museum is also one of the most beautiful and largest of its kind in Norway. You can choose to travel by plane from an airport near your home. You can then pick up your rental car at Oslo airport. Alternatively, you can travel by ferry and bring your own car.

The mountain road leads from Ringebu towards Røros. Copper ore was mined in this former mining town for over 300 years. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The old miners' houses along the two main streets are unique and look almost like a film set.

Today's leg of the journey allows time for exploration in Røros and Trondheim. Norway's former capital charmingly combines history with the advantages of a modern city. The impressive Nidaros Cathedral, once the coronation church, the old town with its ancient city bridge, the royal residence, and of course the historic warehouses along the Nidelv River should all be on every travel itinerary.

For the drive to the northern fjord region, we recommend the route via the impressive Sunndalsfjord. A detour to Eikesdal is worthwhile for one of Europe's highest waterfalls, Mardalsfossen (possible between June 20th and August 20th). Molde is nicknamed the "City of Roses" because roses still grow there thanks to the mild climate.

A superlative fjord route awaits you today. Near the picturesque town of Åndalsnes, the winding roads of the famous Trollstigen are a first highlight. Afterwards, the route leads to the beautiful Nordalsfjord and back up to the Eagle Road, which leads behind Lake Eidsvatn to the town of Geiranger.

The ferry ride through the short, narrow Geirangerfjord to Hellesylt is sure to be a memorable experience. Waterfalls and remote old farmhouses, seemingly clinging to the steep slopes, create a unique panorama. From Hellesylt, the route continues via Stryn to Skei. A beautiful leg of the journey to the Sognefjord leads along the Gaularfjell mountain road, offering spectacular viewpoints overlooking the Fjærlandsfjord and Jostedalsbreen glacier.

After a short ferry crossing of the Sognefjord, you'll reach Bergen via the town of Voss. This beautiful port city boasts the historic Hanseatic wharf of Bryggen.

In Norheimsund, you reach the Hardangerfjord, the last of the great fjords on your journey. Ulvik is one of Norway's most important fruit-growing communities and is idyllically situated on the fjord of the same name. One of the world's longest suspension bridges spans the Eidfjord and is an architectural masterpiece.

Today you leave Fjord Norway and head to Europe's largest plateau. A breathtaking panorama is guaranteed. The journey continues south through the biodiverse Hallingdal valley. Passing the Tyrifjord inland lake, you finally reach the Oslofjord.

Spend another enjoyable day in Norway's vibrant capital before beginning your individual journey home.
