The Norwegian Fjords
The Sognefjord consists of the main fjord - Norway's longest and deepest
fjord - and several branches, such as the Aurlandsfjord, the Naeroyfjord (on the
World Heritage list), the Fjaerlandsfjord & the Lusterfjord. The famous Flam
Railway takes you down to the Aurlandsfjord & the village of Flam from the
Myrdal mountain station through the spectacular Flam valley. The Flam Railway is
a side line of the main Bergen train line between Oslo and Bergen.

The Hardangerfjord - the Queen of the fjords - is located south east of
Bergen, easily accessible from Bergen by car. The Hardangerfjord is surrounded
by mountains, the majestic Folgefonna glacier, idyllic fjord villages &
orchards. The early spring Hardangerfjord fruit blossom is unforgettable!
The Norwegian Train lines:
The Bergen line
The Bergen Railway is a unique experience on Northern Europe's highest-altitude
railway line. The highest point is the Finse station, 1222 ms above sea level.
One of the greatest challenges is the harsh and changeable weather. Keeping the
railway open demands great effort and technical expertise. Today, skilled
workers, effective equipment, tunnels and snow tunnels make the Bergen Railway
one of the safest and most comfortable ways of travelling between Oslo and
Bergen. The line was voted one of the 20 best railway experiences in the world
in 1999.
The Flam Railway
The journey on the Flam Railway is regarded as one of the highlights of the
Norway in a Nutshell® tour. The 20-km-long train journey from the mountain
station of Myrdal down to the fjord village of Flam, takes around 55 minutes. On
the journey, you have views of some of the most magnificent mountain scenery in
Norway with an ever-changing panorama of mountain peaks and cascading
waterfalls. The train moves slowly or stops at the best views.
