Flam port guide: Hiring a Renault Twizy in Flam

During our visit to Flåm on P&O Arvia, we decided to swap the traditional cruise excursion for something a little different… a Renault Twizy adventure through the stunning Flåm Valley.

Having hired a Twizy on a previous cruise, we knew how much fun they were, so booking one again through eMobility was an easy decision.

Exploring Flåm Valley by Twizy

After a quick safety demonstration, we set off on the Flåm Valley Adventure Trail, a self-guided route that takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery in Norway.

The electric Twizy comes with built-in navigation and commentary, making it incredibly easy to explore independently. Along the way, we passed rushing rivers, towering mountains, waterfalls and charming Norwegian villages.

One of our favourite stops was Berekvam Station, where we watched two Flåm Railway trains pass each other on the famous single-track line.

Is It Worth the Cost?

Our Twizy rental cost around 1,900 NOK (£150) per vehicle, including insurance, for approximately two hours of exploring.

Whilst it might sound expensive at first, when compared to many cruise line excursions, we thought it offered excellent value. The freedom to stop whenever we wanted for photos and enjoy the scenery at our own pace made it feel like a real adventure.

Back in Flåm

After returning the Twizy, we explored more of Flåm, enjoyed a ride on the local sightseeing train and, of course, stopped at our favourite spot, the Ægir Viking BrewPub.

With its authentic Viking décor and excellent local beers, it’s become a must-visit whenever we’re in port.

Our Verdict

If you’re visiting Flåm on a Norwegian Fjords cruise, we can’t recommend the eMobility Twizy experience highly enough.

It’s fun, easy to drive, environmentally friendly and offers a completely different way to experience one of Norway’s most beautiful valleys.

Would we do it again? Absolutely. In fact, it might just be our favourite cruise excursion we’ve ever done.
