Description

Embark on a 2-day self-guided railway trip from Oslo to Bergen. Travel on the scenic Bergen Line, ride the Flåm Railway, and explore the charming city of Bergen.
Begin your journey in Oslo and board the train along the Bergen Line to Myrdal. As you travel west, the train climbs steadily into the mountains. Pass through the scenic Hallingdal Valley before emerging above the tree line to cross a rugged, year-round alpine landscape.

Reach the highest point of the line near the Finse station, offering striking views of glaciers before the train descends into the mountain junction of Myrdal. From Myrdal, change trains and settle down for a round-trip on the vintage train along the celebrated Flåm Railway, declared the best train journey in the world by Lonely Planet.

Traverse across some of the finest landscapes in western Norway, descend through valleys peppered with rural farm villages, and snake through all 20 bridges on the steepest standard gauge line in the world. Head back again, ascending along one of the steepest standard gauge lines in the world to Myrdal mountain station, 867 meters above sea level. Have your camera ready for the brief stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall, where you can disembark onto the platform.

Back in Myrdal, take the train to Bergen. The route features comfortable, modern trains that traverse deep valleys, rugged peaks, and coastal fjords. Stay the night in one of the hand-picked hotels in Bergen. Despite being Norway's second-largest city, UNESCO-listed Bergen has retained its small, fishing-town feel with its colorful wooden huts and small fishing boats that jostle up against the harbor.

The next day, head back to the station for your final train. Sit back on one of the most scenic train journeys in Europe as you traverse across the Bergen Line, through Norway's fjords and glaciers, and over Europe's highest mountain plateau, returning to Oslo.
