hallasm Posted August 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) You can order tickets in several places - you get the best prices here: Norways Best Vy.no tickets can be ordered from 60 to 100 days before the journey. For return book Flåm - Myrdal - Flåm. Some combine train with single Flåm to Myrdal and bike back to Flåm. No need to spend time in Myrdal. make sure you know when your ship is arriving and if docked or tendering. Station is next to the dock.

On vy.no, tickets can be purchased at the earliest 120 days before travel. 'Norway's Best' has tickets available earlier as mentioned in post #3.

kitkat343 Posted January 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We did a second excursion to a goat farm. You absolutely will have time to visit Stegastein and on a clear day it will be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask who you would be booking through for both of these excursions? Do you know if they both leave from near the cruiseport? TY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they both leave from near the cruiseport? You can book the railway at Norways Best or at Vy.no (120 days in advance at Vy). Please note that train will be sold out. If ship is docked it’s 5 minutes walk from the railway station - if tendering the tender will dock close to the railway station. I do not have details for the excursion to Stegastein - Try this link Edited January 28, 2023 by hallasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetcbl Posted January 30, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Google lists the ship docking area as a 23 minute walk to the railroad station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have likely googled the Marina - Try to Google ‘Flåm ferry terminal’ Cruise ships docks very close to the railway station - 4 minutes walk - see map. Only one ship can dock - if more ships in port other ships are tendering. Tender will also dock close to the railway station Edited January 30, 2023 by hallasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to book bikes along with the train ticket? I checked out the Norway’s Best site but it wasn’t clear, just said “bike rental not included”. Doing research for a future cruise so not actually looking to book anything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted January 31, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 31, 2023 2 hours ago, mackfam said: Are you able to book bikes along with the train ticket? One option is to buy a one-way ticket to Myrdal and rent bikes in Myrdal. Here is one option - there may be other options. Bicycle rental is open from 01 June - 30 September due to snow/weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCJack Posted February 1, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 1, 2023 18 hours ago, mackfam said: Thanks hallasm, that’s just what I was looking for. Yes, we booked a one way train and had reserved bikes at the Cafe as Hallasm suggested. At the time we went, I saw no other bike rental options besides the cafe. Maybe it is different now. The biking down was fantastic. However, note the first part after leaving the cafe is a little difficult. Most people walked their bikes for about the first 30 minutes due to the large stone gravel path. However, the path gets smoother as you go, and most of it is paved asphalt. Endurance / stamina is not an issue as it is all downhill ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing many (maybe none) hikers on our trip down. I would guess both bikers and hikers are allowed, but I don't know that for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hiked down and saw a number of bikers. The path is wide enough and the hikers give right of way to the bikers (at least they did the day we hiked).
