How it works
You'll begin with a bus drive up winding Orneveien (Eagle Road), all the while taking in the magnificent scenery en route to Eidsdalsvatnet Lake. From there, you’ll descend back to sea level to take a picturesque ferry ride from Eidsdal to Linge.
Back on dry land, you'll pass through high-alpine areas to Gudbrandsjuvet (Gudbrands Gorge). The Valldøla River rushes through this 5-metre narrow ravine, some 25 metres high. You’ll see that the water has carved out deep potholes and intricate rock formations.
We’ll then go to another highlight of this trip: the series of 11 hairpin bends down steep Trollstigen Pass. At the bottom, it’s time for a hot drink and a bite to eat before we continue to the gentler landscape of Romsdalsfjord. The excursion rounds off with dinner at a hotel in Molde, the City of Roses, before returning to the ship.
