Bergen: Hardangerfjord, Voss Gondola & 3 Great Waterfalls

Meet your guide at Strandkaien in central Bergen and begin a full-day excursion designed to showcase the highlights of the Hardanger region. Traveling in a modern, comfortable mini-bus, your local guide will provide background information about the fjord landscape, local culture, and the history of the villages you pass.

The route follows the shoreline of Hardangerfjord, Norway's second-longest fjord at 179 kilometers. You will pass through traditional settlements such as Norheimsund, Øystese, and Eidfjord, each known for fruit farming, local handicrafts, and coastal scenery.

A key stop on the tour is the Fossli viewpoint, located near the top of Måbødalen. From here, you can observe Vøringsfossen Waterfall, one of Norway's most famous waterfalls, with a total height of 182 meters and a free fall of 145 meters. Your guide will explain the geological formation of the valley and the engineering behind the modern viewing platforms.

In Voss, the tour includes a ride with the Voss Gondola, a 9-minute cable car journey from the town center up to Mount Hanguren at 820 meters above sea level. At the top station, information boards describe the surrounding mountains, local hiking trails, and the area's role as an outdoor sports destination.
Throughout the tour, several natural attractions are visited, including Skjervsfossen, Steinsdalsfossen, and Vøringsfossen waterfalls. Each stop offers time for photography and learning about the waterfalls' characteristics, water flow, and seasonal variations.

The tour also includes a one-hour break in Eidfjord, giving you time for lunch or independent sightseeing. Popular options include a visit to the Hardangervidda Nature Centre, walking along the fjord promenade, or exploring local shops and cafés.
