• Bergen - Our tour begins in Bergen, known as the Gateway to the Fjords. Founded in 1070, the city boasts numerous historical and cultural landmarks. We’ll pass by some of these on our way out and upon our return to Bergen.
• Osteroy Municipality - Sørfjorden, or the South fjord, is part of the Osterfjord, a unique natural phenomenon: a saltwater inlet surrounding Northern Europe’s largest inland island—Osterøy Island—enclosed by mainland. We drive along the South fjord until we reach the crossroads in Trengereid. (We usually do not stop here.)
• Trengereid rundkøyring - From Trengereid village, we take Route #7 to the Hardangerfjord. (We usually do not stop here.)
• Hardangervegen - Hardangervegen, or the Hardanger Road, is Norwegian route #7 and a tourist attraction in itself. Along the way, we’ll see stunning sights: mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. On our way to the Hardangerfjord, we’ll make two photo stops at Fossen Bratte and Steinsdalsfossen waterfalls.
• Fossen Bratte - We stop at Fossen Bratte waterfall, which stands 259 feet (79 meters) tall. The view is spectacular, and you can take memorable photos here. A short walk to the bottom of the waterfall is highly recommended to experience the roaring freshness and gentle, pure water drops on your face.
• Steinsdalsfossen Waterfall - Our next stop is Steinsdalsfossen waterfall, 164 feet (50 meters) tall. You can walk behind the falling water without getting wet. A walk behind the waterfall to the viewpoint is highly recommended.
• Fyksesund Bridge - After passing through the charming small towns of Norheimsund and Øystese, we continue to Fyksesundet, a narrow fjord crossed by the Fyksesund suspension bridge, built in 1937.
• Steinstø Fruktgard - On the other side of Fyksesundet lies Steinstø, a small farming community with Steinstø fruit farm, fruit kiosk, and café. We can stop here for a cup of coffee, a piece of apple pie, and a view of the fjord.
• Hardanger - The Hardangerfjord is Norway’s second-longest fjord. We will travel along the fjord to Granvin, cross it on the Hardanger bridge, and continue our journey to Eidfjord.
• Skjervsfossen Waterfall - Before crossing the Hardangerfjord, we take a short detour on an alternate road to stop at Skjervsfossen waterfall, with its twin falls plunging from a height of 150 meters.
• Hardanger Bridge - We then reach one of the Hardangerfjord’s narrower points and cross it on the Hardanger Bridge, a suspension bridge from 2013 with a main span of 1310 meters (4300 ft). This impressive structure is preceded by an 8 km (5 miles) long tunnel, with another tunnel on the other side. We stop at the viewpoint overlooking the fjord and the bridge.
• Hardangerviddahallen - After passing the village of Eidfjord, a popular cruise ship destination, we drive to Øvre Eidfjord, where we will have time for lunch at the cosy yet spacious Hardangervidda Hall Restaurant (open April—October).

There will be other opportunities to have lunch along the way.

While in Øvre Eidfjord, you can also visit the “Norwegian Nature Center – Hardanger,” a museum and visitor center of the Hardangervidda National Park, dedicated to the region’s flora, fauna, geology, and history (open April—October). Entrance fee is not included. You may also watch a beautiful film on 5 screens (Supervideograph system) by Norwegian-Italian director Ivo Caprino, showcasing the magnificent sights of the Hardangervidda plateau.

• Voringfossen - Our next stop is Vøringsfossen waterfall, 182 meters (597 ft) tall, located at the end of Måbødalen valley where the Hardangervidda begins. The viewpoint consists of several secure platforms overhanging the waterfall and the canyon. The view is mesmerizing: raging waters falling to the canyon’s bottom, the rugged valley with a stream meandering below, surrounded by a lush yet fragile tundra landscape.

If time permits, we may continue farther up into the Hardangervidda plateau above the timberline, where the landscape changes to a bare mountain landscape surrounded by rock and lichen.

After Vøringsfossen waterfall, and possibly a short ride up the Hardangervidda plateau, we return to the Hardangerfjord and continue our journey to the Sørfjord.

• Tveitafossen - Our next stop is Husedalen valley, known as the valley of waterfalls. We ascend the valley and stop at Tveitafossen waterfall and—if the road is open—at Nyastølfossen (a short hike is required). If time allows and you are up for it, we can take a longer hike up the valley to the third waterfall, Nykkjesøyfossen, before returning to the fjord.
• Odda - We continue our journey south to the town of Odda, the largest settlement on the Hardangerfjord, an important town for tourism and industry, recently popularized by the Netflix series Ragnarok. We can stop here for a cup of coffee and a snack before driving to Låtefossen waterfall.
• Latefossen Waterfall - Låtefossen is a 541 feet (165 meters) tall raging waterfall flowing into the river Opo. The waterfall is actually a merging of two falls: Låtefossen and Skarsfossen, both fed by water from Lotevatnet Lake uphill. This waterfall was a favorite attraction among cruise ship tourists in the 19th century. This stop is our southernmost point. From here, we start our return to Bergen.
• Folgefonna Tunnel - We drive back to Odda and through the Folgefonn Tunnel to the main Hardanger fjord. The Folgefonn Tunnel is Norway’s fourth longest tunnel as of 2020, stretching 11.15 km long, dug under 4500 feet of rock and the Folgefonna glacier.
• Maurangsfjorden - On the other side of the mountain lies the Maurangsfjord, a cosy and secluded narrow fjord branching off the main Hardangerfjord. We drive along this fjord until we reach Furebergsfossen waterfall.
• Furebergsfossen - Furebergsfossen is the last of the main 7 waterfalls on our journey. The fall is 295 feet (90 meters) tall and flows directly into the salty waters of the fjord.
• Mundheim - We cross the fjord on a car ferry and travel along the fjord to the village of Mundheim, then head towards the neighboring fjord, the Eikelandsfjord. From here, we drive directly to Bergen.
