Railbookers · Independent rail package

Oslo, Bergen, and the Flamsbana

5-day multimodal rail, boat, and bus loop through Oslo, Flam, and Bergen

Railbookers' Oslo, Bergen, and the Flamsbana package is a 5-day, 4-night independent rail vacation through Norway that combines train, boat, and bus travel. After an overnight stay in Oslo, the trip continues by rail to Myrdal, where travelers board the famous Flam railway for a descent through what the operator describes as spectacular scenery to the village of Flam on the Aurlandsfjord, followed by a night there. From Flam, the route continues by boat through the narrow Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen, then by bus up winding mountain roads to Voss, and by train on to Bergen, a historic Hanseatic city, for another overnight stay. Because this is sold as an independent rail package, travelers move through each stage on their own rather than with an escorted guide. The trip suits travelers who want a single, varied route through Norway's mountains and fjords using several types of transport in a short amount of time.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary array for this package; the description available to us is also cut off after introducing Bergen as a historic Hanseatic city, so the final night and the return to Oslo are not detailed here. Confirm the full itinerary before booking.
  • This trip packs several transport changes into a short journey, rail to Myrdal, the Flam railway, a boat through the Nærøyfjord, a bus to Voss, then rail to Bergen, all inside four nights; confirm connection times and luggage handling with Railbookers.
