Weather can shift quickly, so bring a warm, rain-ready jacket even if the morning looks clear.

What is in this plan
Day 1: Bergen, Gudvangen, Nærøyfjord & Flåm
Allow the full day for the excursion. The guided tour includes the bus journey and cruise, while arranging the bus, boat, and train independently requires juggling schedules. Be ready for changing conditions: the day can move from sunshine to rain, and Flåm may feel cold and wet.
