Bergen & Flåm Railways
Bergen Line and Flåm Railway across Norway's fjords to Oslo
Fred. Holidays, through Fred. Rail Journeys, books travelers on the Bergen Line and Flåm Railway, a rail route across Norway from Bergen to Oslo. The Bergen Line runs from Norway's second city through the outer Norwegian Fjords and inland toward a landscape of white-water and snow-capped peaks. At Myrdal, travelers change onto the Flåm Railway, the highest standard-gauge railway in northern Europe, with gradients up to 1-in-18, climbing through waterfalls, forests and gorges to reach 1,222m above sea level at Finse before the route flattens out toward Oslo. A café carriage on board sells snacks and drinks, since food is not otherwise included. The journey can also be combined with Norway in a Nutshell®. This suits travelers who want to see Norway's fjords and mountains from the train without planning a longer touring itinerary.
