Program

​

Day 1:

​

We meet in Voss at the historic Fleischer's Hotel. We enjoy a lovely three-course dinner and go over the planning for the coming days.

​

Day 2:

​

After breakfast, we take a transport to Myrkdalen, where today's journey begins. During the day, we will climb over three beautiful peaks on the way over to Jordalen, a mountain valley that is almost isolated in the mountains. We end the day by skiing all the way down to the accommodation for the evening and enjoying the silence in the mountains until dinner.

 

Day 3:

​

From Jordalen we climb the mountain and enjoy a magnificent view of the Nærøyfjord. We use the day for as much fine skiing as possible before finishing with a long descent down to Dyrdal, a roadless village with only one inhabitant! From the jetty in Dyrdal, we jump on the Vision of the Fjords boat that takes us to Flåm, where we end the day with accommodation at Fretheim Hotell and dinner and good drinks at Ægir brewery pub.

 

Day 4:

​

In the morning we walk from the hotel to the train station and take the Flåmbahn up from the fjord to the high mountains and the lovely ski terrain around Vatnahalsen. The train journey from Flåm to Vatnahalsen is a 40-minute journey through spectacular nature, history and culture. After the ski trip, we go back to the hotel and have a lovely final dinner.

 

Day 5:

​

On the last day of the trip we enjoy nice skiing   around the hotel and are back again in good time to take the corresponding train home with the Bergen Railway.
