I am traveling solo to Norway in mid-September this year. I'll be spending 4 days in Lofoten Islands and then heading south to Alesund, Bergen, Voss and Flam. At least, I believe that'll be my itinerary. I'm trying to take public transportation so I can enjoy the views vs driving. I love nature and want to see as much of the area as possible, but I am trying not to repeat paths of travel which I fear may be the case. Here is my proposed itinerary and I'm looking for advice on whether I'm trying to do too much and/or my path is ill-advised.
Day 1 - Alesund; explore town and climb Mt. Aksla
Day 2 - Roundtrip Cruise from Alesund to Hjorundfjord and Geirangerfjord and Geiranger
Day 3 - Sightseeing Village and Fjord Tour to Trollstiegen (6 hours); Fly to Bergen in pm
Day 4 - Bergen; walking tour in am, Floibanen funicular in pm; stay in Bergen
Day 5 - Bergen railway to Voss; walk around town and ride Voss Gondola; stay in Voss
Day 6 - All Day guided fjord and glacier tour to Fjaerland; stay in Voss
Day 7 - Bergen railway to Myrdal then Flam Railway to Flam; arrives 10:30 am and then do zodiac Flam tour; stay in Flam
Day 8 - Take hiking tour of Naeroyfjord; stay in Flam
Day 9 - Tour of Borgund Stave Church and Stegastein (9-1pm) ; Take Sognefjord Cruise to Bergen (3:30 pm); stay in Bergen
Day 10 - Looking at Hardangerfjord in a Nutshell from Bergen to Oslo but the train ride to Oslo would be in the dark. Was wondering if I should stay somewhere along the way one night to see another town and then ride the train early the next day to see the sights back to Oslo.
I'll end the trip with a day and a half in Oslo. I'm not a big city person so that's enough for what I want to accomplish.
Would love feedback, ideas on how to streamline and general advice. I love nature and want to see and do as much as possible. If I like to be busy from morning till dinnertime. If I'm moving too much and should do more activities like kayak and hike in certain locations, let me know. Appreciate your time and ideas :)
