The boat ride to Flåm in the Sognefjord takes approximately five hours. This tour utilizes public transport, which in Norway is generally accessible for wheelchair users. The boat between Bergen and Flåm is equipped with a ramp for easy boarding.

After disembarking in Flåm, you change to the Flåm Railway, which takes you to Myrdal.
