   Passes by

4. We arrive to the Bordalgjelet gorge, where a short walk awaits. The walking path inside the deep and dramatic Bordal gorge is safe and secure. During winter months the path can be closed, when there could be snow and ice which make walking difficult. Sheer rock walls on each side and a raging river at the bottom. Here you get a good view of the fantastic giant caves that ice and the river have shaped over the millennia.

   30 min

5. We make a stop at Tvindefossen waterfall, located 12 km (7.5 miles) to the north of Voss town center. We can come close this cascading 110 meters (360 ft) tall waterfall.

   30 min

6. After leaving Tvindefossen waterfall we return to Voss. The main historical attractions are Vangskyrkja – a church from 1277, and the St.Olaf's cross from 1023. We will make a stop here to take Voss Gondol cable car to the top of Mount Hangur (2690 ft / 820 m above sea level).

7. We take the cable car up the top of Mount Hangur (2690 ft / 820 m above sea level). The tickets are included in the price. The ride take only a couple of minutes. The view is spectacular! At the top of the mountain there is a restaurant, where we can have lunch (lunchis not included). The restaurant serves homemade meals, based on local ingredients from several farms in and around Voss. The menu is based on the simple and rustic, combined with great flavours. Due to the restaurant's high focus on local ingredients, the menu changes every day! Our tour can be extended – for extra payment for additional time: During the period without snow we could go for a short hike in the mountains, starting and finishing the hike at the top of the mountain. During the winter period with snow your guide can help you with renting skis and other equipment, and you can try out the slopes.

About Bergen

Bergen is Norway's rainy fjord capital, a harbour city of colourful wooden wharf houses, mountain funiculars, a fish market and the gateway to the fjords.

Bergen sits between seven hills and the sea on Norway's west coast, with the wooden buildings of Bryggen, once the Hanseatic League's trading wharf and now a World Heritage site, lined along the harbour. The steep gabled houses stand in rows with narrow passages between them. Bergenhus Fortress, with the medieval Haakon's Hall, guards the harbour mouth, and Bergen was a capital of Norway in the 13th century.
