Vistas of the Måbødalen Valley

Get a Glimpse of Farm Life and Marvel at Nature Journey to the dramatic Måbødalen valley, view the Hardangerjøkulen glacier and visit the Måbødalen Museum. During a guided tour, see restored buildings and bridges that showcase farm life during the 17th century. Walk along part of the old road that ran between Bergen and Oslo, and admire the views of the valley before reboarding your motor coach to travel to Leiro. Continue into the mountains to Sysendammen, a manmade lake supplying the Sima Power Plant. From here, you will enjoy sweeping vistas over the Hardangervidda, Norway’s largest national park and a paradise for hiking and fishing. Walk to the dam to admire the sweeping views; on a clear day, you can see the Hardangerjøkulen glacier. En route back to your ship, stop to gaze upon the magnificent Vøringsfossen waterfall, dropping 550 feet into the Måbødalen canyon. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
