60° 52′ N · 7° 07′ E · Skydive Voss to the Nærøyfjord · Ground 20
Mountains that go straight into the sea, a zipline you reach by train,
and a via ferrata bridge 750 metres up.
Everything here is measured from the fjord. The skydive over Voss opens at 4,000 metres above it; the via ferrata at Loen climbs a wall out of it to 1,011; the zipline at Flåm starts at a railway halt with no road and drops 305 metres towards it; Bergen's Ulriken looks down on the city from 643. At the bottom is the Nærøyfjord, 250 metres wide between walls of rock, which you take by kayak. Scrolling means falling. We show every stop with real prices, and we say what is not on the platforms – here that is more than usual, because the best of it is sold direct.
Stop 1 · Tandem skydive · Skydive Voss, Bømoen
4,000M OVER VOSS
The plane climbs over lakes and snow and the door opens at four thousand metres. Below is Voss, small, and every valley running off to a fjord. Forty-five seconds of freefall, then the canopy, and Vestland turning under you.
Not on GetYourGuide – the club sells it. Skydive Voss is a parachute club on the Bømoen airfield, and it books direct at about NOK 3,990 with video, roughly €340. Voss calls itself Norway's adventure capital, and the skydive is the top of it: about 230 people a month search for it, more than for any other jump in the country. It is the highest published number in these grounds by a factor of four.

The wall goes straight out of the fjord and you go straight up it on iron rungs. Halfway is a bridge, 120 metres of cable and planks across a gorge, with the Nordfjord 750 metres under your boots. At the top, a cable car down.
The via ferrata is booked direct, the Skylift is on GetYourGuide only as part of a tour. Loen Active runs the climb from the fjord to the top; the one listing here is a bus tour with the cable car from Måløy, aimed at cruise passengers. Loen is the outlier of these grounds – three hours north of Flåm – but with 400 searches a month it is the second-biggest term in Fjord Norway, and the bridge is the reason.

Stop 2 · Via ferrata & Skylift · Mount Hoven, Loen
1,011M · THE TOP OF HOVEN
Stop 3 · Gondola · Hangurstoppen, Voss
820M · HANGURSTOPPEN
The gondola leaves from the station, so you step off the Bergen train and into a cabin. Nine minutes later the lake is a blue plate below you and the paragliders are already in the air, because this is where Voss launches from.
The calm stop, and the launch pad. The gondola is the high point that everything else in Voss hangs off: tandem paragliding leaves from Hangurstoppen, the rafting base and the skydive airfield are in the valley below. The ticket listing has fourteen reviews; the rope park at the base has five. Paragliding here is sold by the local operators, not on the platforms.

You get off the Flåm Railway at a halt with no road, and the cable runs out of sight downhill. Ninety seconds at a hundred kilometres an hour, 305 metres of drop, and a mountain farm at the end with a bicycle waiting.
The biggest search term in these grounds, and not on GetYourGuide. About 700 people a month in the US and 900 in Germany search for the Flåm Zipline; it is sold by the operator and by Norway's Best, usually as a package with the railway and a bike for the 16 km back down to Flåm. The height here is the start platform's, because – as nearly everywhere – nobody publishes a height above ground. What GetYourGuide does sell is the railway itself, further down the page.

Stop 4 · Zipline · Vatnahalsen to Kårdal, Flåm Railway
811M · VATNAHALSEN, THE START
Stop 5 · Cable car & zipline · Mount Ulriken, Bergen
643M · ULRIKEN SUMMIT
Bergen's highest mountain has had a cable car since 1961 and, more recently, a wire off the top. Three hundred metres at seventy kilometres an hour with the city going past on the left – it is short, and the view is why you do it.
The cable car is the most-booked thing in these grounds; the zipline is bought at the top. The round-trip ticket has 1,240 reviews. The zipline is a separate ticket sold on the mountain, summer only, and it is not on the platforms. Bergen also has Fløyen, the funicular mountain at 320 m, which is the gentler version of the same view.

At its narrowest the fjord is 250 metres across and the walls rise over a kilometre and a half. In a kayak you are the smallest thing. Waterfalls come off the rock, and Gudvangen sits at the end like the last village on earth.
The kayak is the adventure, the RIB is the one people book. The RIB safari from Flåm has 219 reviews; the full-day kayak trip eighteen. About 500 people a month search for kayaking at Flåm or in Norway, more than for anything on this page except the zipline. This is also the fjord the day tours from Bergen cruise – those are further down.

Stop 6 · Kayak, RIB & cruise · Nærøyfjord, UNESCO
0M · ON THE NÆRØYFJORD
Class 4+ on the Stranda – eight kilometres and nine rapids – or the Raundal when the Stranda runs low in late summer. No height, so it is not a stop in the fall, but it is the hardest bookable water in these grounds. Age 15 and up, about two hours on the river.
The classic day: train to Flåm, cruise on the Nærøyfjord, Stegastein viewpoint. The railway is the way to the zipline; these tours are how most people see it.
Three hours south-east of Voss. The via ferrata with the Sky Ladder up to the Trolltunga rock is the steep way to Norway's most-photographed ledge; the hike is 20 km. No published height for the ladder, so it stays here.
Two hours beyond Loen, the other UNESCO fjord. The zipline park above the village has 470 reviews and the RIB safari 1,470; neither publishes a height.

No. The zipline – 1,381 metres long with a 305-metre drop, the longest in the Nordic region – is sold by the operator and by Norway's Best, usually as a package with the Flåm Railway ticket and a bike for the 16 km back down. It runs 25 April to 10 October, 25 to 140 kg. What GetYourGuide sells is the railway and the fjord cruise, from about €55 for the cruise and €268 for a full day from Bergen.
The Gjølmunne Bridge is 120 metres long and sits 750 metres above sea level over a 160-metre gorge; Fjord Norway calls it the longest via ferrata bridge in Europe. The route ends on Mount Hoven at 1,011 metres, where the Loen Skylift takes you down in five minutes. May to October, 40 to 120 kg, booked with Loen Active. The Skylift on its own is in a bus tour from Måløy at about €129.
Skydive Voss jumps from 4,000 metres over the Bømoen airfield at Voss, about 45 seconds of freefall, daily from April to September. Age 18, or 15 with a guardian's written consent; up to 105 kg. The club sells it direct at about NOK 3,990 with video – roughly €340. It is not on any platform.
Bergen, Voss and Flåm are, on one railway line an hour apart each; Loen is three hours north of Flåm and stands in because its bridge is the second-most-searched adventure in the region. Tromsø, Rovaniemi and Lapland are not here – they are a winter world of huskies and snowmobiles with no heights to fall through, and they belong on their own page.
The one on Mount Ulriken in Bergen, according to the operator and Fjord Norway: 300 metres long, up to 70 km/h, from the 643-metre summit. Age 8 and up, up to 100 kg, about NOK 590, bought at the top; the cable car ticket on GetYourGuide is about €45 and has 1,240 reviews. The Flåm Zipline is longer and reaches 100 km/h, so the claim is about the wire, not the country.
Short. The Flåm Zipline runs 25 April to 10 October, the via ferrata at Loen May to October, the skydive April to September, the Ulriken zipline summer only, and rafting at Voss spring to autumn – the Stranda river runs low by August and the trips move to the Raundal. The gondolas and the fjord boats run all year.
On GetYourGuide (Sept 22, 2026): the Voss gondola about €38, the Ulriken cable car €45, the Nærøyfjord cruise €55, the RIB €128, the Loen Skylift tour €129, kayaking €156, rafting €170 to €178, and a full day from Bergen with the railway and cruise €268 to €405. Sold direct: the Ulriken zipline about NOK 590, the skydive about NOK 3,990.
