9/17, Hike to Trolltunga. 24KM, 9 hours. A relative easy but long hike.
Stay at Voss. Scandic Voss Hotel. Hotel is above the train station, so can be noisy. Great breakfast.
9/18, Flam to Laerdalsoyri
Drive to Flam, Fjord Cruise to Gudvangen, then bus back. Note: Need to book return bus in advance to avoid sold out.

Kayak in Geiranger in the morning.
Hike to Storfossen waterfall and get behind it

9/21. 今天一天下雨. Drive from Eidsdal to Åndalsnes
Trollstigen National Tourist Route to Åndalsnes。九曲十八弯。 A must-do experience.
Hike Nesaksla trail to Rempestreken view point.
After a very hard and treacherous hiking in the rain, we reach the top of Mount Nesaksla at 708 meters above sea level. Best view, but worst weather.
Stay Grand Hotel in Åndalsnes, a really good one. Highly recommend it.
Åndalsnes is the most north of Norway we visited this trip
9/22. Åndalsnes to Alesund
Hike Litlefjellet (1.25 mi, 1 hr) which offers great views of Trollveggen (Troll Wall) and the Trolltindene peaks (Troll Peaks), the town of Åndalsnes and Romsdalsfjord, the ninth-longest fjord in Norway. Trollveggen - Troll Wall, is the Europe's tallest vertical, overhanging rock face. (Unfortunately , we skipped Litlefjellet due to heavy rain)
Then drive to Kristiansund (125 km 2 hr) then drive Atlantic Senic Drive
Atlantic Scenic Drive is over-rated. CA has better coastal line.

9/23 Alesund to Olden -Saksa Hike
连下了两天雨,今天总算放晴了。昨天1300米以上下雪了。
Saksa Hike, a five hour hard climbing, rewarded by the stunning view. 推荐
There is this beautiful hotel near the Saksa trail head. Union Oye. Absolutely amazing hotel. 可以进去参观,值得住一晚。
The drive from Mount Saksa to Olden offers is very scenic.
9/24 Olden to Voss
Hike to top of Raudmelen. 4.5 hours, 970m elevation. It’s more of a local hiking trail, the trail is so peaceful , but not any less beautiful. Highly recommend it.
Stay at Scantic Voss Hotel.
9/25 Voss to Songesand, 5 hour drive

Take train to Amsterdam Central station, then free ferry across to see NDSM. (Street art)
Stay at Novotel Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
9/28 Amsterdam to SFO.
We could have combined the last two days into one.
旅行总结
挪威的九月份已经开始时不时的下雨了,我们是九月最后两个星期在挪威的,运气超级好,除了两天被雨影响到了一点,剩下的前后都是阳光明媚。
挪威的峡湾很著名,船游峡湾是必选项目,我们选了从Flamm 出发三个小时的游轮到Gudvangen,时间够长了,那种一整天甚至几天的游轮,我觉得会比较无聊,毕竟挪威的山山水水是要用脚去感受。游轮尽管每天靠岸,但是太受限制。
这次把挪威西南部著名的“三块石头”都走到了- 奇迹石(Kjeragbolten)、布道石(Preikestolen,or Pulpit Rock)和恶之舌(Trolltunga) 。 奇迹石还真的挺难的,尽管不长,但是上升快,有些都是有些地方都是手脚并用,如果下雨的话会很难搞,不建议。
其他好玩的景点
Cruise from Flamm to Gudvangen
Kayak in Geiranger
Trollstigen National Tourist Route
Hike Litlefjellet
Saksa Hike
Hike to top of Raudmelen
可以跳过的景点:
Flam Train
Atlantic Senic Drive is so-so. 为了去这里还兜圈子到了Alesund, 不值得。
手机信号覆盖广泛,和信用卡支付的方。所有支付都是刷卡,所有的停车场都收钱手机支付没有问题。我们完全没有换钱.
饮食:旅馆都包早餐,午餐都是在山上吃点随身背上来的食物。山上没有服务站
本地的天气预报 App:YR(由挪威气象局开发)
有人建议装挪威的 113 紧急呼救软件
小遗憾:这次没有去Tromso 看极光,有点遗憾。 去Tromso 的飞机都要经奥斯陆转,嫌麻烦就没有安排,如果不去Atlantic Scenic Drive,Alesund,把阿姆斯特丹压缩一下,完全可以省下三天,飞到Tromso,"Capital of the Northern Lights,”。 A very good chance to see Northern lights in late September..
