You will also get to see beautiful panoramic views of the Seven Sisters waterfall, which the Geiranger Fjord is known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skagefl\u00e5 is a one-way hike. After completing it, you must catch a pre-booked boat transfer to return to the village.

However, I recommend a small detour via S\u00f8gndalsfjora, Leikanger, and Vik\u00f8yri towns. It will only add 15 minutes to your journey and allow you to visit many epic viewpoints. That&#8217;s the route I marked on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stop_along_the_way_between_Loen_and_Bergen\"><\/span>Where to stop along the way between Loen and Bergen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, add a few hours to your drive to take photos and enjoy the views. Below are a few viewpoints located next to the road worth stopping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stardalselva Valley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19288\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stardaselva Valley is approximately one hour&#8217;s drive from Loen. Turquoise rivers, lush green fields, and dramatic mountain cliffs can&#8217;t get more clich\u00e9 than this. The view of Stardaselva Valley better describes Norway than any other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">J\u00f8lstravatnet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19287\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Stardalselva-Valley-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Drive for 10 minutes and turn from National Road No. 39 onto No. 5. This is where your small detour to Bergen will start. You will now follow the shoreline of another beautiful lake, J\u00f8lstravatnet. There are plenty of small bays where you can stop for a quick photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B\u00f8yabreen Glacier<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boyabreen-Glacier-Viewpoint-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19074\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boyabreen-Glacier-Viewpoint-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boyabreen-Glacier-Viewpoint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boyabreen-Glacier-Viewpoint-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Boyabreen-Glacier-Viewpoint.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another 15 minutes later, you will drive through the Fj\u00e6rland tunnel. Straight after emerging through the tunnel, the viewpoint of the B\u00f8yabreen glacier tongue is on your left-hand side. Blink and you will miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Norsk Bremuseum and Fj\u00e6rland village<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fjaerland-2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19289\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fjaerland-2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fjaerland-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fjaerland-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fjaerland-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stop, only 10 minutes away from B\u00f8yabreen Glacier, is the Jostedalsbreen visitor centre. It doubles as the Glacier Museum and has a great viewpoint platform on top of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum educates the visitors about the Norwegian glaciers and how climate change influences their disappearance. You can also watch the beautiful panoramic nature movie shot in the remote corners of the Jostedalsbreen National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After checking out the visitor centre and the museum, drive to Fj\u00e6rland\u2014a tiny village at the end of the Fj\u00e6rlandsfjorden. Park your car near the pier and stroll along the Fjord for some fantastic views. This will be a perfect place for a lunch break before you continue to Bergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more viewpoints, refer to the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best accommodation options in Bergen: Night 10 (Optional)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-contrast-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-contrast-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Value<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/no\/marken-gjestehus.en.html?aid=1188554&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/no\/marken-gjestehus.en.html?aid=1188554&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">City Hostel Bergen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hostel is located 5 minutes from Bryggen, Bergen&#8217;s top tourist attraction.

No worries! Here are some ideas on how to fit it into a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option 1:<\/strong> Skip Geiranger Fjord. I know it&#8217;s hard to give up on some locations, but you must face that it is impossible to see everything in 7 days. After visiting Jotunheimen National Park, you can head straight for Loen and the Jostedalsbreen National Park.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option 2:<\/strong> Shorten your stay in each location. Fl\u00e5m &amp; N\u00e6royfjord World Heritage Park- 2 Nights. Jotunheimen National Park \u2013 1 night, Geiranger Fjord \u2013 2 nights, Loen &amp; Jostedalsbreen National Park \u2013 2 nights.
