View from Flam Railway by Sverre Hjornevik, Flam AS

One of the steepest railways in Europe: an incredible journey between mountains and fjord. The Flam Railway is a 20-km branch line off the main Bergen Line, it runs through the Flam Valley and connects the main line with the Sognefjord and the Flam fjord village.

The line´s elevation difference is 863 m; with ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 % (1:18). Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flam Railway has become one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway.

Hotel Opus XVI

Opus XVI is an Edvard Grieg Heritage Hotel, a classic yet modern take on the luxury hotel experience, located in the very heart of Bergen with just a few steps from the Fish Market and Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As relatives of the famous composer Edvard Grieg, the owner´s desire is to create a one of a kind experience that offers their guests a taste of the composer´s remarkable life, his relationships and his unique life story told in the inhouse exhibition.

What our customers say:

We just recently completed the Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour. I am writing to say what an amazing tour we had. Everything ran smoothly without an issue, the accommodation was fantastic and the tours were brilliant. We cannot fault the package at all. I would also like to thank Franziska and Lene, they both were fantastic in answering all my questions promptly, whilst booking the tour. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable holiday!

Robert, Australia, ,
Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.

Alison, United States, ,
I wanted to thank everybody. We had a wonderful trip. Everything went well and fortunately we had the chance to see the lights while on the cruise. All my friends in Turkey would like to go on a similar trip. So I will be in touch with you. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.
