FLYWAY

EXPERIENCE ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST SPECTACULAR TRAIN JOURNEYS, AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST ATTRACTIONS IN NORWAY.

The Flåm Railway runs between Myrdal mountain station on the Bergen Railway down to Flåm station in the Aurlandsfjord. On the 20-kilometre train ride, with a difference in altitude of around 865 meters, you will experience some of the wildest and most magnificent Norwegian nature. Here you can see rivers cutting through deep gorges, waterfalls cascading down steep mountainsides with snow-capped peaks and mountain farms clinging to steep slopes.

The Flåm Railway is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. Almost 80 per cent of the line has a gradient of 55‰, i.e. a gradient of one metre in 18. The winding tunnel, which spirals in and out of the mountain, is a testament to the most daring and skilled engineering in Norwegian railway history.

You can combine a trip on the Flåm Railway with a hike or bike ride from Myrdal to Flåm.
