Arrive in Oslo
Oslo Airport Gardermoen to your hotel in central Oslo, then the Opera House
- Welcome dinner at about 6 pm
- Nuit : Oslo
- Environ 45 min de route

Fly into Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL), about 50 km north of the city, where a driver meets your family in the arrivals hall for the drive of roughly 45 minutes into the centre. We hold family rooms or connecting rooms, so grandparents sleep next door, and you have time to rest after the flight. Plan to land by about 2 pm. At about 5 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group in the hotel for a short, relaxed briefing: who is who, how the train day works and how your luggage travels. Then we stroll a few minutes to the waterfront at Bjørvika and walk up the sloping white roof of the Oslo Opera House, which children are allowed to climb and run on, for a view over the Oslofjord.
Soir
The welcome dinner sits down at about 6 pm at a restaurant near the harbour, so younger travellers are in bed on time.
Compris
- Private transfer from Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL)
- Family or connecting rooms requested for each party
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Evening walk on the Oslo Opera House roof
- Welcome dinner at about 6 pm
Option plus facile : Skip the roof walk and watch from the plaza at its foot, which is level.
Temps libre : Free until the 5 pm briefing
Activité : Land by about 2 pm to rest before the briefing; the exact time is confirmed with your final itinerary. The Opera roof is a gentle slope, about 15 minutes up.
Vigeland, two ships and a swim
Frogner Park to the Bygdøy peninsula, the ferry back across the harbour, then Sørenga
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Oslo
- Environ 30 min de route
We reach Frogner Park at about 9 am, before the tour coaches, to walk among Gustav Vigeland's granite and bronze figures, from the famous angry little boy on the bridge to the tall Monolith; the large playground in the same park is the children's reward. A short drive takes us to the Bygdøy peninsula and two museums that stand side by side. At the Fram Museum you walk the decks of the polar ship Fram, which carried Nansen into the Arctic ice and Amundsen south on the expedition that reached the South Pole in 1911. Next door, the Kon-Tiki Museum shows the balsa raft Thor Heyerdahl sailed across the Pacific in 1947.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal on Bygdøy, then we ride the small summer ferry back to the City Hall pier. The afternoon is free: in good weather, Sørenga's sea pool beside the Opera has a shallow children's pool and lawns for grandparents.
Compris
- Vigeland sculpture park in Frogner Park with your guide, and time at the park playground
- The Fram Museum
- The Kon-Tiki Museum
- Sit-down lunch on Bygdøy
- Ferry from Bygdøy to the City Hall pier (in season)
Activités en option
- Swimming at Sørenga sea pool (free entry)
- The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History on Bygdøy
- The Munch museum
Option plus facile : Sit out the park walk in the cafe by the main gate, and take a taxi back from Bygdøy instead of the ferry if the steps to the pier are too much.
Option plus active : In the free afternoon, walk the ramparts of Akershus Fortress above the harbour, with a route from your guide.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Oslo
Activité : About 2.5 hours on foot, on park paths and museum floors, with benches throughout. Bring swimwear and a towel for Sørenga.
The Bergen Railway and the Flåm Railway
Oslo by train over the Hardangervidda to Myrdal, then down the Flåm Railway to Flåm
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Flåm
- En train

Matin
We board the morning Bergen Railway train at Oslo Central Station with reserved seats together, in the family carriage if the train has one. Your suitcases go ahead to Flåm by road with our driver, so the family travels with day bags only and nobody lifts a case into a rack. The line runs west past lakes and forest, through Gol and Geilo, and climbs onto the bare Hardangervidda plateau at Finse, at about 1,222 m, where children can spot snow beside the track into July.
Après-midi
Lunch is included, a packed lunch or from the train's cafe if it has one, and your guide brings cards and a quiz on the route. At Myrdal, after about five hours, we change to the Flåm Railway, which drops about 860 m in 20 km to the fjord. It stops at the Kjosfossen waterfall, where in summer a singer in costume appears on the rocks as the huldra of folk tales.
Soir
We reach Flåm by mid-afternoon; the evening is yours.
Compris
- Bergen Railway from Oslo to Myrdal, reserved seats together
- Flåm Railway from Myrdal to Flåm, with the stop at Kjosfossen
- Lunch on the train
- Your luggage carried ahead to Flåm in our vehicle
Temps libre : Late afternoon and evening free in Flåm
Activité : About six hours of rail travel in all, broken by the change at Myrdal and the Kjosfossen stop; trains have toilets and room to stretch. Keep a warm layer in each day bag for the plateau.
The Nærøyfjord, a Viking village and Undredal
Flåm by boat through the Aurlandsfjord and the Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen, then Undredal and back to Flåm
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Flåm
- Environ 45 min de route
Matin
We take the first morning boat out of Flåm, at about 9 am, before the cruise-ship passengers fill the decks, and sail up the Aurlandsfjord into the Nærøyfjord, an arm of the Sognefjord listed by UNESCO in 2005 with the Geirangerfjord. Walls rise more than 1,000 m from the water, the fjord narrows to about 250 m, and there are goats, waterfalls and farms with no road to spot; there is an indoor saloon for anyone who gets cold. After about two hours we land at Gudvangen and walk into the Njardarheim Viking village, a reconstructed settlement where children can try archery and axe throwing under supervision and everyone can sit by a fire in a longhouse.
Après-midi
Our van takes us to Undredal, a village of about a hundred people, to taste its brown and white goat's cheeses and peek into the tiny stave church, then a sit-down lunch.
Soir
We are back in Flåm by about 4 pm, with a quiet hour before an early family dinner.
Compris
- Fjord cruise from Flåm to Gudvangen through the Aurlandsfjord and the Nærøyfjord, on an early sailing
- The Njardarheim Viking village at Gudvangen
- Goat's cheese tasting in Undredal and a look into the stave church
- Sit-down lunch in Undredal
- Dinner in Flåm at about 6 pm
Activités en option
- Fjord kayaking from Flåm with a local outfitter (minimum age set by the outfitter)
Option plus facile : Stay on the boat's indoor deck, and sit by the longhouse fire at the Viking village instead of the games.
Option plus active : Walk the steep path from Flåm up to the Brekkefossen waterfall, about an hour and a half return, for a view down the valley to the fjord.
Temps libre : From about 4 pm free in Flåm
Activité : About 1.5 km on foot in the Viking village on grass and gravel. Bring a warm, windproof layer for the open deck.
Stegastein, the Lærdal Tunnel and Borgund
Flåm to Aurland and Stegastein, through the Lærdal Tunnel to Borgund stave church, and back to Flåm
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Flåm
- Environ 2.5 h de route

A start at about 9:00.
Après-midi
We drive ten minutes to Aurland and up the hairpins to Stegastein, a platform that juts out about 650 m above the Aurlandsfjord, a short level walk from the car park; we aim to be there by about 9:45, before the midday coaches. Then comes the part children remember: the Lærdal Tunnel, 24.5 km long and opened in 2000, where three caverns lit in blue and yellow break the drive. Count them on the way through. At Borgund we visit the stave church, built of wood around 1180, with dragon heads on its roof ridges, and the visitor centre beside it explains how it was made. Lunch is a sit-down meal nearby, and we are back in Flåm by about 2:30 pm, about 150 km and two and a half hours of driving in the day, no leg longer than an hour. The afternoon is free, with an active and an easy choice.
Compris
- Stegastein viewpoint above the Aurlandsfjord
- The Lærdal Tunnel
- Borgund stave church and visitor centre
- Sit-down lunch near Borgund or in Lærdal
Activités en option
- Bike hire in Flåm for the valley road
Option plus facile : The free afternoon by the fjord shore in Flåm, or the free Flåm Railway Museum by the station, both short and level.
Option plus active : Hire bikes in Flåm and ride the old Flåm valley road up to Berekvam station and back, about 20 km and a steady climb, with your guide; children's bikes and seats are available to hire.
Temps libre : From about 2:30 pm free in Flåm
Activité : Under an hour on foot in the morning, on level paths. The tunnel takes about 20 minutes to drive.
Waterfalls to Bergen, then Fløyen
Flåm to Gudvangen, Stalheim, Tvindefossen and Voss, then Bergen and Mount Fløyen
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Bergen
- Environ 3 h de route

We leave Flåm at about 9:30 through the tunnels to Gudvangen and climb to Stalheim for a coffee and the view straight down the Nærøydalen valley. A little further on, Tvindefossen falls in steps right beside the road, a two-minute walk from the car park, close enough to feel the spray.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in Voss, then the longest leg of the day, about an hour and three quarters, brings us into Bergen at about 3 pm: about 170 km and three hours of driving in four short legs. After check-in we ride the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen, 320 m above the harbour. At the top there is a big playground, a troll forest trail with carved trolls in the trees, and, in summer, canoes for hire on the small Skomakerdiket lake, while grandparents take the terrace with the view over the city and the islands.
Soir
Dinner tonight is your choice; your guide can book an early table.
Compris
- Stalheim viewpoint over the Nærøydalen
- Tvindefossen waterfall
- Sit-down lunch in Voss

Activités en option
- Canoe hire on Skomakerdiket lake on Fløyen (summer)
Option plus facile : Stay on the Fløyen terrace by the funicular station, with coffee and the view.
Option plus active : Walk down from Fløyen to the city instead of taking the funicular, about 45 minutes on a wide gravel path and steep lanes.
Temps libre : Evening free in Bergen
Activité : Short stops on level ground; about 1 to 2 km on Fløyen on gravel trails.
Bryggen and the Bergen Aquarium
Bryggen, the fish market and the harbour to the Bergen Aquarium at Nordnes
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Bergen

We walk to Bryggen at about 9 am, before the cruise-ship groups arrive, for a guided walk of about an hour through the old Hanseatic wharf, listed by UNESCO in 1979. German merchants traded dried cod from northern Norway here for centuries, and children can look for the carved figureheads and the narrow wooden passages behind the harbour front, rebuilt after the fire of 1702. We pass the fish market, then follow the harbour about 20 minutes on foot to the Bergen Aquarium at Nordnes, or take a short taxi for anyone who prefers. Inside there are penguins, sea lions and the fish of the Norwegian coast, and we time the visit for a feeding.
Après-midi
Lunch is at or near the aquarium. The afternoon is free: AdO arena's pools and slides, the VilVite science centre, or a rest.
Soir
The farewell dinner sits down at about 6 pm.

Bergen and home
Bergen to Bergen Airport Flesland
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 30 min de route

Matin
The last morning is free for a final breakfast without hurry, the fish market as the stalls open, or a slow walk up the steep lanes of the old wooden quarters above Bryggen, where white and yellow houses lean together over cobbled alleys. Check-out is usually by noon, and the hotel keeps your bags until it is time to leave, so families with later flights can make one more trip to the Fløyen playground. Our driver takes everyone to Bergen Airport Flesland (BGO), about 20 km south of the centre and roughly 30 minutes by road, with child seats for the ages booked. We set the transfer times when we confirm your flights, so you can book whichever flight suits your family, and earlier flyers go first. Your guide comes with you and says goodbye at the terminal. If you would like longer in western Norway, we can book extra nights in Bergen.
Compris
- Private transfer to Bergen Airport Flesland (BGO)
Temps libre : Morning free in Bergen
Activité : Book any flight from Bergen Airport Flesland (BGO); a flight after about noon leaves the morning free.

Faune et météo : Mid-June to August brings the longest days (in late June the sun sets after 10:30 pm in Oslo and Bergen), daytime temperatures often in the high teens to low twenties °C, open-air pools and summer services at Kjosfossen and the Viking village, and the busiest cruise calendar in Flåm and Bergen. Waterfalls are fullest in June with the snowmelt, and snow can lie beside the track at Finse into July. Rain is likely in Bergen on some days in any month.

Questions
Will this trip work for a 70-year-old and a 9-year-old?
Yes, it is designed for both on the same day. Walks are short and mostly level, every active choice has a written easy option, the longest drive is about three hours split into four legs, and our vehicle carries the luggage on every moving day, so nobody lifts a suitcase onto a train.
What is the youngest age, and is there a child price?
Children aged 6 and up can join, travelling with a parent or grandparent. Prices are per person sharing a room, and child prices are an inquiry: tell us everyone's ages when you request to book. Norwegian trains, boats and museums give child fares, so we quote each family separately.
Can we have family rooms or rooms next to the grandparents?
We request family rooms or connecting rooms for every party at all three hotels when we confirm your dates. Flåm has few hotels and fewer large rooms, so we tell you before you pay what each hotel can offer, and where a family room is not possible we ask for rooms side by side.
What does the price include?
Seven nights in three central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 3 dinners at about 6 pm, both railways with reserved seats, the Nærøyfjord boat, airport transfers in Oslo and Bergen, our van and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, from the Fram and Kon-Tiki museums to Borgund, Fløyen and the Bergen Aquarium.
How big is the group, and can a family of six book it?
The small group runs with 7 to 12 guests, children included, which usually means three or four families. A party of six fills half the group, so we suggest a private trip for your family only, on dates you choose, from CAD 18,035 per person.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the arrival in Oslo to the airport in Bergen, on the trains, on the boat and in the van, and sets each day's pace around the youngest and oldest. A local guide joins for the Bryggen walk. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.
Is there a pool or a beach to swim in?
In Oslo and Bergen, yes. The free Sørenga sea pool beside the Opera has a shallow children's pool for the day 2 afternoon, and AdO arena in Bergen has indoor pools and slides for day 7. Hotels with pools are rare in Flåm, so we ask but do not promise one. The fjord water is cold, often under 18°C.
Is the train day too long for children?
It is about six hours on two trains, broken by a change at Myrdal and the Kjosfossen waterfall stop. Long-distance trains have toilets, a cafe and room to walk, we reserve seats together, and your bags travel by road, so children only carry a day bag. Bring books or a tablet for the middle stretch.
Does a grandparent travelling alone pay a single supplement?
Only for a room alone, and it is shown before you book: CAD 1,700 more on the small-group trip, about 17 percent of the price. A grandparent sharing with a grandchild, or a single parent sharing with a child, pays no supplement.
When is the best time to go?
Mid-June to August, the school holidays, when days are longest, the Sørenga sea pool and Fløyen canoes are open and summer services run at Kjosfossen and the Viking village. July and August are busiest with cruise ships in Flåm and Bergen, which our early starts work around. Pack rain gear: Bergen sees rain in every month.
How does booking work?
Send us an inquiry for your dates with everyone's ages; nothing is charged. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 10,020 per person sharing, taxes included. Want your own dates without a guide? Ask us for an independent quote.
Do children need a visa or their own passport?
Every traveller, including each child, needs their own valid passport. Canadian and US citizens visit Norway, part of the Schengen area, without a visa for up to 90 days in 180. Passports are registered at the border under the EU's Entry/Exit System, and ETIAS has no confirmed start date; we tell you if it applies to your dates before you travel.
