Skip the DIY headache and book the full-day train and cruise loop from Bergen. The Flåm Railway ride delivers the jagged peaks you want, while the Nærøyfjord arm is the real deal for sheer cliff views. It is expensive, but nature here is brutal and vast. Spend at least one full day. If you have the budget, the private guided options save you from the massive cruise ship crowds that swarm the port during mid-day.
