Travel on Bergen Railway by Tore Bjorback Amblie, NSB

An incredible journey from mountain to fjord! The Flam Railway is a 20 kilometer branch line 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 meters; 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

Rauma Line

A most spectacular rail trip passing along the scenic Rauma river, across amazing bridges, through a horseshoe tunnel and along the Troll wall; a part of the mountain massif “Troll Peaks” in the Romsdal valley.

The Troll Wall is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe, about 1100 meters from its base to the summit of its highest point. At its steepest, the summit ridge overhangs the base of the wall by nearly 50 meters.

Dovre Line

The line passes through the scenic Gudbrandsdal valley and across the beautiful Dovrefjell mountain plateau – one of Norway’s National Park. Dovrefjell is the home of a population of some 300 wild Muskox

Nordland Line

This Arctic line starts in the picturesque, historic town of Trondheim and takes you through the most amazing scenery to the beautifully located, Arctic coastal town of Bodo. It is the longest rail line in Norway, and the only one to cross the Arctic Circle.
The Nordland line takes you as far north as you can get by train in Norway

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.

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!
