“It was very interesting. Traveling to Flam ~5.5 hours and back. The stop in Flame was ~ 1.5 hours. For us it was one of central actions in Norway. I think it was reasonable investment time, money and efforts. I am not agree with comments that it is too long. The fiord is sufficient long and it looks different in different directions”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this walk. The guides were fantastic. (I was mainly with Normann because they thoughtfully split the group to accommodate participants who wanted to walk at a slower pace.) Both the guides and the participants were really good company. I had worried about the pace of the uphill walking beforehand but the company was quick to respond to my concerns. I’d highly recommend.”
