This fjord tour follows a circular route meaning you will get to rest your eyes on a tall beautiful mountain plateau and kick back on a relaxing fjord cruise on the Sognefjord.
In Vik in Sogn you will join a guided walk through the charming village, located on the southern mouth of the Sognefjord, sample traditional cheese (Gamalost) and visit one of the few remaining Norwegian Stave Churches.
This tour is packed with natural beauty and historical sights - a true Fjord Norway highlight!
Tvindefossen Waterfall
We will make a stop at Tvindefossen Falls, allowing you to walk right up to the waterfall. The water cascades down on several plateaus from a height of 110 metres (360ft). The waterfall has been a source to several myths.
Hopperstad Stave Church
You get to step inside this historic church that was built in 1130, almost 900 years ago. Hopperstad is one of the oldest stave churches in Norway. The richly decorated facade is known as Viking handcraft. See if you can spot the dragons.
Cheese sampling at Tine Cheese Bar
You will get to sample Gamalost, a traditional Norwegian cheese with roots back to the Viking Age. Made from fermented skimmed milk the cheese is low in fat and salt, but rich in both taste and proteins.
Hove Church
You will visit the exterior of the medieval Hove Church. Built in 1170, in a time when churches traditionally were built in wood, a church made in stone was highly acclaimed. The church is the oldest stone building in the Sogn region and Norway.
Guided village tour
A local experienced guide will meet and join you for a guided town walk through the charming streets of Vik. The tour will take you to some of Vik’s top cultural heritage sites. Do not hesitate to ask your guide questions along the way.
Vikafjell mountain pass
In the summer, the mountain plateau is an abundant hiking destination for day trips and longer adventures.
Fjord cruise on Sognefjord
The Sognefjord goes by the nickname King of Fjords. It extends 204 km inland (127mi) making it the second longest fjord in the world. The remains of abandoned transhunt farms add to the cultural dimension creating an unparalleled experience.
