A masterpiece of Norwegian engineering, the Flåmsbana is one of the world’s steepest railway lines on normal gauge; you’ll descend some 2,600 feet through the mountains, past waterfalls, rivers, ravines and sheer cliffs – it’s quite a memorable journey! Enjoy a beer tasting and regional cuisine tonight at your countryside hotel in Flåm.
Day 9 – Fjords
Continue your Scandinavia tour with a guided visit to the Borgund Stave Church in Laerdal – one of the country’s finest, best-preserved examples of a traditional and iconic Norwegian wooden stave church, it looks very much as it did when built over 800 years ago!

Enjoy a barbecue dinner during the first night of your three-night stay at the Hotel Alexandra, a mountainside family-run resort set amidst the stunning Nordfjord.
