The Flam Railway is one of the most beautiful railway lines in the world. It winds its way from Myrdal to Flåm, 865 metres below, nestled in the innermost corner of the Aurlandfjord. The train journey provides some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent scenery. On the 20-kilometre long train ride you can see rivers that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains and mountain farms that cling dizzily to sheer slopes. 

The Flåm Railway is one of the world's steepest railway lines on normal gauge. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost 80% of the line. The twisting tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountain are manifestations of the most daring and skilful engineering in Norwegian railway history. At the foot of the mountains you can enjoy the natural beauty of the Flåm Valley and admire the majestic Aurlandfjord, a branch of Norway's longest fjord, the Sognefjord.

The train, in forest green livery, comprises five engines and 12 cars. It also boasts new interiors and a unique guide and loudspeaker service. A trip on the Flåm Railway is just as stunning in winter as in summer. The trip between Myrdal and Flåm takes about one hour.
This is a day train with comfortable seating and large windows.
As the duration of the journey is just an hour, there are no dining facilities on board the train.

Pricing varies based on the journey, cabin preference, season of travel & more.
