About this activity

Discover Western Norway's most iconic fjord and alpine scenery in a single 9-hour private day trip from Bergen. This curated itinerary combines the dramatic Hardangerfjord—Norway's second longest—with four spectacular waterfalls, a ride on the modern Voss Gondola, and exclusive viewpoints rarely seen by casual visitors.

Discover the beauty of Hardangerfjord on a private full-day tour from Bergen, combining dramatic waterfalls, charming fjord villages, mountain scenery, and panoramic views from the Voss Gondola.

Travel in comfort with your private local guide through some of Western Norway’s most impressive landscapes. The journey takes you along Hardangerfjord, Norway’s second-longest fjord, where steep mountains rise from the water and picturesque villages, orchards, and waterfalls line the shoreline.

Along the way, pass through scenic communities including Norheimsund, Øystese, and Eidfjord while your guide shares stories about the region, its history, local culture, and the natural forces that have shaped the fjord landscape over thousands of years.

One of the highlights of the tour is the opportunity to experience four spectacular Norwegian waterfalls, each with its own character.

At Steinsdalsfossen, you can follow the path behind the cascading water for a unique view of the waterfall and surrounding valley.

Continue to Vøringsfossen, one of Norway’s most famous waterfalls, with an impressive drop of 182 meters. From the viewpoints near the historic Fossli Hotel, enjoy dramatic views across the Måbødalen valley and the deep canyon below.

You will also visit Skjervsfossen, a beautiful twin waterfall surrounded by steep mountains and lush scenery, as well as Fossen Bratte, an impressive waterfall hidden among the mountains on the road between Bergen and Hardangerfjord.

The journey continues to Voss, where you board the modern Voss Gondola directly from the train station. The gondola takes you to Mount Hanguren, 820 meters above sea level. At the top, take in sweeping views of Voss, surrounding lakes, valleys, and mountain peaks.

Throughout the day, there will be plenty of opportunities to stop for photographs and simply enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.

As a private tour, the experience offers greater flexibility and a more personal way to discover the region than a standard group excursion. Your guide can provide local insight throughout the journey while you enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery Western Norway has to offer.

This tour is an excellent choice for travelers who want to experience Hardangerfjord, Vøringsfossen, several of Norway’s most beautiful waterfalls, and the Voss Gondola in one unforgettable day from Bergen.
