SYNOPSIS
Getting to your port of departure will be an adventure in itself! Flåm is located at the bottom of the Aurlandsfjord, and the only way to get there is by the steepest, most amazing train ride you’ll ever experience. Get on the Bergen-Oslo line from either city, and then get off in the middle of the mountains at the Myrdal Junction. Then, join the Flåmsbana, as it winds its way down the steep mountain, past waterfalls and forests. You are now in the longest fjord in the world.
We’ll sail west through the Sognefjord, exploring as we go. Most likely sailing by day and staying over in one of the many beautiful Norwegian coastal villages by night. But there won’t really be a night to speak of, as it never gets dark at this latitude at this time of year.
Once out of the fjord, we’ll turn south, along the coast, for Bergen.
typical Weather Pattern
Winds will be variable and change often. Generally, the wind will follow the direction of the fjord, being either west or east. So it will be a dead run or tacking.
Temperatures will be ranging from 50-68ºF (10-20ºC). June is generally pretty dry, though occasional rain showers are possible.
