After breakfast, depart from the hotel for Bergen, a port city on the west coast. The city is situated on a turquoise bay, directly connected to the Atlantic Ocean, making it a scenic harbor city.

After breakfast, we will visit the Boyabrin Glacier, a branch of the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, the largest glacier on the European continent, which hangs on steep mountain walls. Its highest point is 1700 meters above sea level, with a 1400-meter drop between its highest and lowest points. The year-round frozen snow on the high mountains, under the pressure of gravity, has formed a geological landscape of blue crystalline ice resembling rivers. Afterwards, we will visit the nearby Glacier Museum, considered a model of architects utilizing the landscape rather than relying on external objects. The highly acclaimed building itself has won several awards, including the ACHouens Fund Gold Medal, Norway's highest architectural award. The museum is entirely gray, and its design fully considers topography, landforms, and seasonal factors, such as the Nordic light, gray stone, and lush forests, harmonizing reality and fantasy to create a classic work of art. Afterwards, we will travel to Ålesund, located on three islands in Møre-Romsdal county, Norway, at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord. We will then visit the seaside town of Ålesund and spend the night in a hotel in the fjord town.
