We pass through the town of Voss on our way to Gudvangen. The main historical attractions are Vangskyrkja - church from 1277, and the St.Olaf's cross from 1023.
15 minutes

Sognefjorden
It is time for a fjord cruise on the King of the Fjords – the Songefjord – the longest fjord in Norway! We leave on a small car ferry from Vik. The ferry is mostly exclusively used by local people, coming to or going from hard-to-reach, secluded villages and farms on the fjord's shore. If we are lucky, the ferry will stop at some remote farms hidden inside picturesque bays. The fjord cruise is about 1.5 hours long.
1 hour and 30 minutes

After disembarking the ferry, we have a pleasant drive along the Sognefjord before we reach the village of Bjordal – from here, we travel off the beaten track through the mountains to our next stop: Stordalen Mountain Lodge.
