WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Voss is a municipality located in Vestland county, with its administrative center in the village of Vossevangen. The area is renowned for its stunning natural surroundings, including snow-capped mountains, lush forests, serene lakes, and fast-flowing rivers. These features have made Voss a prominent hub for various adventure sports, such as skiing, watersports, skydiving, and paragliding. Each year in late June, the region hosts the Ekstremsportveko (Extreme Sports Week), considered the world's leading extreme sports festival. Bømoen, the local airstrip, is home to Skydive Voss—one of Norway's largest dropzones—and a gliding club. The rivers attract enthusiasts of kayaking, rafting, and river boarding, while lake Vangsvatnet sees activities like kite surfing and para-bungee. To the north of the town, visitors can access the ski area via the Voss Gondol cable car.
2.
Tvindefossen is a majestic waterfall located near Voss on the route to Flåm. Cascading from a height of 110 meters, this waterfall is characterized by its multiple strands, created as the Kroelvi stream tumbles over a receding cliff. Tvindefossen is renowned for its striking beauty, attracting many visitors who stop to admire its impressive display. In the late 1990s, Tvindefossen gained a reputation for its supposed rejuvenating and aphrodisiac properties, which significantly boosted its popularity among tourists. This reputation drew in approximately 200,000 visitors annually from countries like the United States, Japan, and Russia, with visitors often collecting water from the falls in containers. At its peak, Tvindefossen ranked as Norway's ninth most visited natural attraction, with around 272,000 visitors flocking to experience its allure.
3.
The village of Stalheim is situated along the highway in the northeastern part of Voss municipality, positioned at a high elevation within the Nærøydal valley, which extends northeastward towards Nærøyfjorden. During the summer months, visitors have the opportunity to travel the historic Stalheimskleivi road, constructed in 1850, featuring hairpin turns and a steep 20% grade, offering a thrilling and scenic drive down into the valley. Stalheimsfossen waterfall stands out as the area's most prominent attraction, and the panoramic view from Stalheim Hotel has been immortalized in several paintings.
4.
The Nærøyfjord is a narrow fjord located in the municipality of Aurland in Vestland county, branching off from the expansive Sognefjord. Stretching over 18 kilometers (11 miles) in length, the Nærøyfjord is notable for its narrow width, reaching just 250 meters (800 feet) across at certain points. The river Nærøydalselvi flows through the Nærøydalen valley and meets the fjord at the village of Gudvangen. Since 2005, the Nærøyfjord has held UNESCO World Heritage status, recognizing its outstanding natural significance. It has also been recognized by the National Geographic Society as the world's top natural heritage site, showcasing its remarkable beauty and environmental importance.
5.
The Aurlandsfjord is a striking fjord situated in Vestland county, coursing through the municipalities of Aurland, Vik, and Lærdal. This fjord extends for 29 km (18 miles) and is a tributary of the vast Sognefjorden, Norway's longest fjord. Known for its deep and narrow expanse, the Aurlandsfjord plunges to depths of approximately 962 meters (3,156 feet) and typically measures less than 2 km (1.2 miles) in width. Roughly 11 km (6.8 miles) south of its mouth, the Nærøyfjord branches westward from the Aurlandsfjord. At the innermost point of the Aurlandsfjord lies the village of Flåm, while other settlements along its shores include Aurlandsvangen and Undredal. Much of the fjord is enveloped by steep mountains, towering as high as 1,800 meters (5,900 feet), with sparse habitation along its shores apart from a few secluded valleys. This landscape lends the Aurlandsfjord a dramatic and pristine natural setting.
6.
The Flåm Railway is a scenic railway line stretching 20.2 kilometers (12.6 miles) between Flåm and Myrdal. Serving as a branch line of the Bergen Line, it traverses the picturesque Flåmsdalen valley, linking the mainline with the majestic Sognefjorden. The railway boasts an elevation difference of 866 meters (2,841 feet), featuring ten stations, twenty tunnels, and one impressive bridge. With a maximum gradient of 5.5 percent (1:18), the Flåm Line is renowned for its steep incline and stunning landscapes. Initially constructed in 1924, the Flåm Railway opened for service in 1940, facilitating connectivity between the Sogn region and Bergen and Oslo via the Bergen Line. The electrification of the railway occurred in 1944. Over time, due to its breathtaking scenery and unique engineering, the Flåm Railway has transformed into a primarily tourist-oriented service and is now ranked as the third-most visited tourist attraction in Norway.
7.
Kjosfossen is a renowned waterfall in Norway, positioned alongside the Flåm Railway. This majestic cascade roars like thunder, captivating visitors with its impressive display. Travelers aboard the Flåmsbana Railway are treated to a close-up view of the waterfall, enhanced by a designated stopping point established in 1951 for passengers to fully appreciate this natural wonder.
8.
The Bergen Railway is a picturesque standard gauge railway spanning 496 kilometers (308 miles) between Bergen and Oslo. Notably, it holds the distinction of being the highest mainline railway in Northern Europe, traversing the Hardangervidda plateau at an elevation of 1,237 meters (4,058 feet) above sea level. Originally opened in 1883 as the narrow Voss gauge line, it was extended to Oslo in 1909, with the entire route converted to standard gauge, integrating the Voss Line into the Bergen Line. Today, the Flåm Railway is the sole remaining branch line following the closure of the Hardanger Line.
