Flam Railway

A 20-km branch off the Bergen Line, it runs through the spectacular Flam Valley and connects the main line with the Sognefjord and the Flam fjord village. The journey takes one hour.
The line’s elevation difference is 863 m; with ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 % (1:18), making it the steepest railway in Europe. Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flam Railway has become one of the most visited tourist attractions in Norway.

Naeroyfjord

The UNESCO Naeroyfjord is one of the most spectacular fjords in Fjord Norway. Due to the steep mountain sides there are no roads along the fjord, hence a fjord cruise is the only way to experience this amazing, narrow fjord.

What our customers say:

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.
Candan, Turkey
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
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!
