Accommodation at Bardøla Hotel.

DAY 03: GEILO – HARDANGENFJORD – BERGEN (240 km)
Breakfast at the hotel. Today head across the Hardangervidda Mountain Plateau, with its snow capped mountain peaks. We highly recommend a side trip to visit the spectacular Vøringsfossen Waterfall, with a fall of 182 metres prior to descending down the scenic Måbødalen Valley before reaching Eidfjord. Here we recommend a visit to the Hardangervidda Nature Centre (entrance not included). From Brimsnes board the ferry across the Eid Fjord to Bruravik. The journey continues along the scenic Hardanger Fjord, a region famous for its fruit orchards. Just past Nordheimsund we recommend a stop to visit Steindalsfossen Waterfall, where you can walk behind the waterfall. Continue to Bergen, known as the Gateway to the Fjords.

Continue past Førde before reaching the Nordfjord. Short ferry crossing from Anda to Lote. Continue to Straumshamn, where we recommend the scenic road along the Voldafjord. An alternative is to continue from Straumshamn to Folkestad and take the ferry crossing to Volda (not included).

The town was completely destroyed by a devastating town fire in 1904, and rebuilt again in the Art Nouveau style, making it a truly unique town in Europe. The town centre reveals a lively urban scene with pleasant restaurants and cafés, and the picturesque Brosundet canal with its fishing boats. Sights of interest are the Atlantic Sea-Park, one of the largest aquariums in Northern Europe and the Sunnmøre Museum, an outdoor museum with an impressive boat collection and more than 50 old houses in beautiful surroundings (entrances not included).

Ascend the Eagle Road and enjoy panoramic views of Geiranger before a short ferry crossing to Linge. Continue along the Troll Road, one of Norway’s best known tourist attractions. The road has 11 turns and the highest point is 858 meters above sea level. Dramatic, exciting and the ultimate nature experience - this is the best way to describe it.
