Advice Needed: From Bergen to Geneva?
I have 2 days to get from Bergen to Geneva. I would like to take a ferry for as far south as possible, then a train. Could anyone recommend a route? I'd hate to just fly. Thanks in advance~!

this line will get your from Bergen to Hirtshals (in Denmark) by ferry:

It's probably a pretty trip, but I don't know about connections from Hirtshals onward.
You could also take a train from Bergen to Oslo and take the overnight ferry (quite a party boat) to Copenhagen. Then train from there (or fly, if you've run out of time).

I don't hate flying~ a colleague and I have been doing a "work" trip (OK~ it involves seeing ballet performances every night in London, Paris, and Copenhagen) and we're tacking on 4 days at the end for a personal trip to Norway, because my friend and colleague's birthmother was Norwegian and she has never been to the country (we;'re doing a Nutshell that ends in Bergen). She is flying out of Copenhagen on the 23, and I'm to check in to my Geneva hotel for a class reunion the 23. She is leaving Bergen on the 21 for Copenhagen, and I have 2 days so was trying to consider a more scenic as well as relaxing route. I have pre-paid my hotel in Geneva, so thought I'd spend the time seeing something new but having a break from pretty non-stop theatre-going and sightseeing.
I will look into train connections from Hirtsals. Even as someone who loves trains, the 35-hours sounds awful.
Thanks for the tips~!
