Norway in a Nutshell

8-day independent rail loop through Oslo, Flam, and Bergen, Norway

Railbookers' Norway in a Nutshell is an 8-day, 7-night independent rail package that loops from Oslo to Flam, on to Bergen, and back to Oslo. The trip starts in Oslo, described as a harborside city, where travelers take in the city's top attractions before boarding the Flam Railway, a train the operator describes as voted the most scenic rail journey in the world. Two nights follow in the village of Flam, with time for local cuisine and a RIB boat safari. Because this is sold as an independent rail package, travelers move at their own pace rather than with an escorted group. The description available to us does not detail the Bergen stop or the return leg to Oslo. It suits independent travelers drawn to Norway's fjord scenery who are comfortable arranging some of their own logistics.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package in the evidence available; the description is also cut off after introducing the RIB boat safari in Flam, so the Bergen portion and the final return to Oslo are not detailed here. Confirm the full itinerary before booking.
