Fjord Itinerary Help!

Posted by (Boise, Idaho, USA) on

We’re planning on traveling in Norway via car in mid May. I am trying to make the best use of our time in the fjord areas once we leave Oslo. We will have 6 days for this adventure before we’ll need to start heading south towards Copenhagen. I know that road closures may still be an issue in this area in mid May so I’m looking for advice from those that may have made this journey before us. Here is my thoughts based upon research I’ve done- although my head is spinning and I’m afraid of mistakenly getting on a ferry boat to Greenland-

Day 1: Oslo to somewhere near Lom

Day 2: Lom to Geirangerfjord(up north and around via E136)

Day 3: Ferry from a Geiranger to Hellesylt and then on to Solvorn

Day 4: Solvorn to Kaupanger, ferry to Gudvangen, maybe backtrack towards Aurland and then continue towards Bergen and stay in ??

Day 5: On to Bergen

Day 6: Bergen

Any thoughts and suggestions (hotels, sights) or comments like “This will never work” are greatly appreciated-

Mark- Thank you for your kind and thorough response to my question. I read through your blog about your trip to Norway and am more inspired now than ever to make sure that I have thought through every aspect of our journey. What beautiful photos and commentary! I have reviewed our route and know that many of our side trips will be based upon snow and road conditions upon arrival in May. We will already be two and a half weeks in to our trip when we arrive in Oslo so jet lag should no longer be an issue. We also live at a mile high altitude in Idaho so are use to the “fresh air hammer” but imagine that the beautiful sights will still overwhelm our senses. My reasoning for staying close to Geiranger and doing the car ferry to Hellesylt the next morning is so there were no time constraints on our travel that day i.e. ferry reservations. That plan may change once we start making hotel reservations. I have Google mapped your plan for Day 5 from Voss to Bergen including side trips. Thank you again so very much!
