Hello.
I would love to visit Flam while my cruise ship is docked in Bergen for 10 hrs.
Arrive 7 a.m. depart 5 p.m. Is there any way that can be done? Help.
Any suggestions so appreciated.

I will be staying in Flam in June, and then going to Bergen from there. I am trying to decide whether to take Flam-Gudvangen Ferry or Flam-Bergen Ferry. These are two choice I have:
1. Flam-Gudvangen round trip, and leave for Bergen in Flam->Bergen ferry next day.
2. Flam-Gudvangen round trip, and leave for Bergen in bus next day.
My question is Is Flam-Gudvangen route worth doing when I am anyway taking Flam->Bergen ferry next day? In other words, if I take Flam-Bergen ferry and skip Flam-Gudvangen, then will I miss something in Flam-Gudvangen route? Looking at the map, Flam->Bergen route does not cover the undredal-Gudvangen route, but I am just wondering if Flam-Gudvangen route is a MUST do for some reason. Of course, it would be great to do both, but it costs quite a lot!!

Hi!

From Sogndal to Flåm, I find the bus connection, Sogndal via Laerdal & Aurland to Flåm, but there is a long tunnel , and I do not want to go through the tunnel if possible...

Is that possible to connect Sogndal - Flåm direct by ferry?


Thanks!!

I am having a very difficult time finding accomodation in Flam, all of the 3 hotels I've contacted are booked out. Does anyone know of any off the beaten track hotels or guesthouses that may be free? Or maybe someone can advise me if there is likely not to be a chance in finding something at this stage? We are taking the train there tommorrow, Tuesday 25th July. Maybe there is another town nearby where accomodation won't be as thin on the ground?
Thanks for ANY help everyone.
