Express boat from Bergen to Flåm

Vestland5 h 40 minSkyss

The Sognefjord is the world's longest ice-free fjord, and the express boat between Bergen and Flåm runs its full length — past Balestrand and into the narrow Aurlandsfjord, where the mountains rise straight out of the water. This is one of Norway's longest express-boat runs, and for many the finest car-free way to reach Flåm. At the end wait the Flåm Railway, the Stegastein viewpoint and the fjord village itself.
