Description

Board the Arctic train and ride along the scenic Ofoten Line. Enjoy stunning views of wild Arctic landscapes on a roundtrip from Narvik to the Swedish border town Bjørnefjell.
Experience an unforgettable train ride on Norway’s northernmost railway, the Ofoten Line, stretching 43 km from Narvik to Bjørnfjell on the Swedish border.
Originally built in the late 19th century to transport iron ore from Kiruna’s mines to Narvik’s ice-free port, this railway played a crucial role during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Narvik. Today, the Ofoten Line is both a vital transport route and a must-do tourist attraction.
Departing from the train station in Narvik, we will take you on a fantastic train journey. Travel through majestic Arctic landscapes, crossing tunnels, bridges, and steep inclines with panoramic views of fjords, mountains, and waterfalls. The audioguide will share historical insights as you journey toward Bjørnfjell, where a short stop allows you to take in the surroundings before returning to Narvik.
