norway fjord in november

Hi everyone. I am from Singapore. Bringing 2 kids 10 and 15 years old and a 60 plus senior to Norway. Read in reviews that November is good to visit Scandinavia. My kids school term ends in October. Air tickets to Oslo and back to Singapore form Helsinki is cheap. I wanted to go on a free and easy but it seems that in Norway the train stations are far away from the Geirangerfjord, Naeroyfjord., Sognefjord, Nordfjord. I will have 5 luggages, one for each of us. I went on the Grand Train Tour of Switzerland on a free and easy. It was very good. I am not confident of how to go about in Norway as I wanted to visit and stay in the fjords area if possible. In Singapore, ven Trafalgar Holidays stop their trips in September. Can someone please advise me on how difficult it is to visit the fjords in November on a free and easy booking hotel rooms or Airbnb Is travelling by train from Oslo viable. I do not dare to drive by myself.. No tour operators offer trips to Norway fjords after early October citing danger .Thank you

Welcome to Fodors ethnufjords. There are no tours at that time of year because there is really no demand. If there were lots of people who wished to travel to Norway in November, tour companies would offer the tours. The days will be awfully short (sunrise around 8:30 or 9AM and sunset 3:30 to 4 PM). And temperatures will be from well below 0° to maybe 10° max.

I think you should take your family someplace other than Norway at that time of year.

You could look at the Hurtigruten. Train from Oslo to Bergen, one of the world's great train journeys, then get the boat up the coast one way.
Norway is seriously expensive no matter how you choose to do your trip. November days are short and likely to be wet and windy too, but on the plus side if you do go with the Hurtigruten or travel above the Arctic circle you may be lucky and see the Northern Lights.
You will need warm clothing with a wind/waterproof outer layer and good shoes/boots.
