The Flåm Railway is one of the world's most scenic train journeys and a true highlight of any visit to Fjord Norway. Your journey begins in the charming fjord village of Flåm, where the train climbs through spectacular mountain scenery on its way to Myrdal, a junction station located high in the mountains and connected to the Bergen Railway.
During the journey, you will travel through steep valleys, past towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque mountain landscapes. The railway climbs almost 900 meters (2,800 feet) over just 20 kilometers (12 miles), making it one of the steepest standard-gauge railways in the world.
One of the highlights is the stop at the magnificent Kjosfossen Waterfall, where passengers can step off the train and admire the powerful cascade up close.
At Myrdal, you will transfer to the Bergen Railway, continuing across Norway’s stunning mountain to Bergen. The transfer is straightforward, as the connecting train usually departs from the adjacent platform. Simply follow the station signs or ask the train staff if you need assistance.
Together, these two rail journeys offer an unforgettable combination of dramatic nature, remarkable engineering, and some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer.
You return to Bergen’s main train station filled with vivid impressions — the perfect end to a day offering a unique combination of fjords, mountains, waterfalls, and one of the world’s most beautiful railway journeys, all experienced in one of the most breathtaking countries on Earth.
