clazz8 Posted June 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We are taking a Fred Olsen cruise to Norway calling at Flam. This follows FO's usual itinerary spending only the morning in Flam then moving on the short distance to Gudvangen for the afternoon. We would like to do the Flam railway but looking at the timetable it looks impossible to do the round trip and get back before the ship sails at noon. However I believe it is possible to take public transport (either bus or ferry) between Flam and Gudvangen to catch up with the ship in the afternoon. Has anyone tried this and does it work? The alternative is the ships tour which includes the railway but also involves a 'vertiginous' road journey which takes in thirteen hairpin bends - something my DW thinks she could manage without! Anyone tried that also? Any advice much appreciated. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merecat Posted June 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I believe the local bus takes 20minutes through the mountain ,the ferry takes 2 hrs.,the sail to Gudvangen is awesome ,I have done it both by ferry and ship but sorry can,t give you ferry times .

infinnity Posted June 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Have done the railway and it's worth doing. I can't answer the second part of your question. Would it possible to email FO and see what they advise? We stayed in Flam for longer. I wouldn't like to think of the ship 'leaving' us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
