Estimated times are for a one-way drive; to explore the depth of the fjords, we recommend at least a two-day trip. Speed limits are low in Norway and, with the many fjords and mountains in western Norway, the roads are winding and sometimes narrow; so a "short" trip may take a long time. But we can help you plan your excursions.

If you want to travel without a car, there are some excellent combined bus/train trips, as well as many interesting tours by cruise boat, ferry, express boat and even bicycle. Fjord Tours can give you more information. bicyckles.
