点评:The Norway in Nutshell tour from Bergen to Flåm and back via boat and rail was an absolute highlight of our 2 months in Europe.
I’m sure we could have booked all 3 sections of this ourselves, but whatever the mark up it was worth it to ensure this essential part of our visit to Norway went off without a hitch.
We did this with the boat first, and train last, due to the faster connections and it worked well, with just enough time to see the small town of Flåm before we got on the train. It’s best to arrive at least half an hour early for the the fast catamaran trip to ensure you get the best seats for a great view of Bergen, the squeeze through narrow passages between islands before the final sensational stretch down the fjords to Flam.
This is a regular commuter ferry, so it makes a number of stops to drop off locals and tourists, though the vast majority of people are tourists heading for Flåm.
There’s a nice small cafe on board, and great views through every window, though the best views are on the back deck, or right out front, if you’re prepared to brave the weather.
After a short stop in Flåm, just enough to grab lunch and check out the souvenir stores, we headed for the train, and, again, get here early to grab a spot.
The best views are on the right hand side heading away from Flåm and if you can, grab a seat with an opening window, which you can pull down for great shots.
There are a number of stops for passing trains, and one spot next to the waterfall where you can exit the train for a few minutes, but the whole trip is a delight.
It’s then a simple change from one platform to another at the end of the trip to catch the regular train back to Bergen. This is not a tourist train but the views are still excellent. From Bergen station it’s a 10 minute walk back to town.
If you do only one tour in Norway make it this one - it has it all.
翻译:从卑尔根到弗洛姆再返回的“挪威缩影之旅”(Norway in Nutshell),乘坐轮船和火车,绝对是我们两个月欧洲之旅的亮点。
当然,我们完全可以自己预订这三段行程,但无论价格如何,为了确保挪威之旅这一重要环节顺利进行,这一切都是值得的。
我们先乘船,最后坐火车,因为这样衔接更快,而且行程安排得非常合理,我们刚好有足够的时间在登上火车前游览弗洛姆小镇。乘坐快速双体船最好提前至少半小时到达,这样才能确保抢到最佳位置,欣赏卑尔根的美景,以及在岛屿间狭窄水道穿行的壮观景象,最后沿着峡湾一路向下,抵达弗洛姆。
这是一条常规的通勤渡轮航线,所以会停靠多个站点,让当地居民和游客下船,不过绝大多数乘客都是前往弗洛姆的游客。
车上有一家精致的小咖啡馆,每个窗户都能欣赏到绝佳的景色,不过最佳观景点在后甲板,或者如果您不怕风吹雨淋,也可以直接走到车头。
在弗洛姆短暂停留后(足够吃午饭和逛逛纪念品商店),我们便前往火车站。再次提醒,一定要早点到,才能抢到座位。
最佳观景点在列车驶离弗洛姆方向的右侧。如果可以,尽量选择带可开启窗户的座位,这样可以拉下窗户拍摄精彩的照片。
列车会停靠多个站点供过往列车停靠,瀑布旁还有一个可以下车停留几分钟的站点。但整个旅程本身就是一种享受。
旅程结束后,只需在站台之间换乘,即可搭乘普通列车返回卑尔根。这趟列车并非观光列车,但沿途的风景依然非常优美。从卑尔根火车站步行10分钟即可回到市区。
如果你只能选择挪威的一个旅游线路,那就选这个吧——它应有尽有。
