Eat lunch in Voss, a charming village with an important tourist industry. Thereafter ride the Bergen Railway, which connects Bergen with Oslo, and see massive mountains, breathtaking drops, and gushing rivers and waterfalls.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
