Evaluation of itinerary in Flåm, Norway for 2 days in summer - Brown and Beige House and Path

We started planning our trip to Norway in July and we allocated full 2 days stay at Flåm (3 nights). We like to do the following things:

  1. Kayaking (old king path)
  2. Take Flåm-Gudvangen ferry. and get off from ferry at Styvi and hike the old postal route along Nærøyfjorden towards Bleiklindi and (get into ferry back and goto Gudvagen). And come back to flåm by bus.
  3. Take train from Flåm to Myrdal, and cycle back to Flåm. (if it's possible / and planning to take the rented bikes from Flåm).

So what I need to know is how much time those things take? Is it too much to try those all in 2 days?



Best Answer

My answer will not be very specific, because I visited Flåm and Myrdal six years ago. However, you intend to travel by kayak, foot, ferry, bus, train, cycle. It sounds a lot for two days, especially given the landscape there. Mountain trains and buses are slow, distances in fjords are longer.

You might also want to indicate when you'll be there, because the day length is also a factor.

How many days do I need to see Norway?

We recommend a minimum of 5 days to really explore and delve into what Norway has to offer. If you have less time than that, don't worry \u2013 there's still lots you can see and do. Obviously, there is no one-size-fits-all trip to anywhere as everyone has different requirements and expectations.

How can I spend 3 days in Norway?

Norway In A Nutshell | 3 days Fl\xe5m and Voss
  • See fantastic fjord and mountain scenery from Bergen or Oslo.
  • Travel on the scenic Fl\xe5m Mountain Railway and see Kjosfossen Waterfall.
  • Free entrance to the Fl\xe5m Railway Museum to learn more about its history.
  • Two-hour boat ride on Aurlandsfjord and UNESCO-listed N\xe6r\xf8yfjord.


  • Is the Flam railway worth it?

    Pretty scenery (when you are not in a tunnel -which is a significant proportion of the trip), but there is plenty of similar scenery. Expensive. Hours spent at railway stations waiting for connections.

    Is it worth staying in Flam Norway?

    It's a teeny, tiny village at the inner end of the Aurlandsfjord in central Norway. It's merely a layover between a fabulous cruise and a breathtaking train ride. But it will blow your mind nonetheless, by its sheer beauty, by the genuinely welcoming locals, and by the quality of the few but fantastic things to do.

    Answer 2

    You should remember Nærøyfjorden is not exactly a central place to go. Except the tourism there are almost nothing there.

    I think the plan sounds a bit too ambitious. I would say three days, but remember to look at the map (distances). Also the schedules may not fit your plans (lack of boats, ferries and buses).

    Bonus: As long as the owners are alive, you will find the smallest post office in Norway in Styvi. There is also a tiny museum there.
