Map –Norway in a nutshell

The theme for the Technical Tour of the FIG Annual Meeting will be the compensation for property rights and contradictions between tourism and the more traditional livehoods, like agriculture.

Starting from Bergen Railway Station (neighbouring building to Hotel Zander K) at 08:43, we first will set out on a scenic train journey to Voss on the Bergen Railway. From Voss we will travel by bus through charming villages and scenic nature landscapes, towards Gudvangen, down the steep hairpin bends of Stalheimskleiva.

The bus will arrive in Gudvangen, where we continue the tour by taking a fjord cruise on the narrow Nærøyfjord and the magnificent Aurlandsfjord. The Aurlandsfjord is a picturesque fjord that offers stunning views, while the Nærøyfjord is a dramatic fjord surrounded by high mountains. Nærøyfjorden is one of the most narrow fjords in Europe and included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

After the fjord cruise we arrive in the small village of Flåm, nestled in the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord. Here we will stop and have lunch and drinks, and after that the tour continues by taking the legendary Flåm Railway. The Flåm Railway offers spectacular panoramic views to some of the wildest and most magnificent nature in the Norwegian fjord landscape. The Flåm railway will have a stop at Kjosfossen before we arrive in Myrdal, where we change trains to the Bergen Railway. We will arrive in Bergen at 17:55. Alternative route as offered for participants to go directly to Oslo upon prior registration.
