What you see and hear
A road-and-ferry fjord day beyond the obvious route
The route heads inland from Bergen through Dale toward Voss and the inner part of Hordaland, moving from steep mountain country toward the quieter coastline near the North Sea.
A steep, narrow serpentine road leads up to a viewpoint around 2,300 feet above sea level, followed by waterfalls, valley scenery, one close waterfall encounter and a midday pause near the fjord.
The day then uses Masfjorden ferry, the remote merchant station Skjerjehamn and an express ferry through the narrow Alverstraumen passages, where your guide meets you back in Bergen.

Why you'll like it
A Bergen-area day with named stops
- This is a proper mixed fjord day: mountain road, waterfalls, merchant station, fjord ferry and express ferry passages.
- The Alverstraumen express ferry return gives the day a different finish from a standard out-and-back drive.
- Rain ponchos are named because weather is part of the Bergen fjord experience, not a surprise.
- The day has a strong sense of movement from mountains to remote coastline.
