Scenic Railway Journeys through Norway
Riding the train in Norway is as much about unique, beautiful scenery you enjoy along the way, as it is about arriving at your destination. Many Norwegian railway lines rank amongst the most beautiful train journeys in the world, according to Lonely Planet and others.
Train journeys such as the Nordland Line and the Bergen Line offer far more than just transportation. As a passenger, you get up close to the landscape and culture along the tracks in a way that's impossible on a plane. Train travel is also one of the most sustainable ways to explore the country.
Tour Itinerary
Fly from the UK to Bergen and transfer to the city centre where you'll spend the first two nights of your Norwegian adventure. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
Enjoy a free day in this vibrant city. A stroll through picturesque Bryggan with its iconic, tilted houses and concealed maze of wooden walkways is a must do for any visitor. Why not visit the nearby Torget Fish Market, an excellent place to sample fresh seafood. We also recommend a ride up to the top of Mt. Fløyen on the Fløibanen funicular for sweeping views of this fjord-side city. (B)
Take the train from Bergen to Voss, where you change to continue your journey by coach to Gudvangen. Board a boat and cruise through the Nærøyfjord UNESCO landscapes to Flåm. Surrounded by towering mountains up to 1,700m high, Nærøyfjord is the narrowest and best known of the many arms of the Sognefjord, and perhaps the most outstanding natural attraction in Norway. Upon arrival into Flåm check in to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure. (B)
Board the world famous Flamsbana railway to the mountain station of Myrdal. Voted one of the most spectacular railways in the world. Experience dramatic waterfalls, rivers, valleys and mountains whilst appreciating this technical masterpiece. On arrival in Myrdal, change trains to take the Bergen Line to Oslo. This is also a scenic journey traversing the Norwegian countryside. On arrival into Oslo, check in to your hotel. (B)
Today is free to explore Oslo or to book an optional activity. Norway's capital is an energetic and modern hub which is easily explored by foot. Take a stroll along the city's harbour front and past the iconic Opera House or explore one of the many museums or art galleries on offer in the city (the National Museum and the Viking Ship Museum are both excellent options). Vigeland Park, filled with over 200 sculptures, is also well worth a visit on a sunny day. (B)
Board the train in Oslo for the start of this epic rail journey.The Dovre Railway takes you through some of Norway's best national parks, mountains and scenic attractions. The train passes through the well-known Gudbransdalen valley, as well as crossing the beautiful Dovrefjell mountain plateau, which is home to 300 wild musk ox. On arrival into Trondheim, check in to your hotel. (B)
Explore Norway's 3rd largest city and former capital. Perhaps pop into one of the many museums or galleries, or visit the impressive Nidaros Cathedral which is the largest Medieval building in Scandinavia. Other sites of note are the Archbishop’s Palace which houses the crown jewels and Stiftsgarden, the oldest wooden palace in Scandinavia. (B )
This rail journey is the longest in Norway. Crossing 293 bridges, through 154 tunnels and even crossing the Arctic Circle. This rail journey is one of contrasts. Starting with the lush landscape of Trøndelag, and continuing through rough and barren landscapes over mountains and down to the fjords in the northern region of Norway. On arrival into Bodø, check in to your hotel. (B)
After breakfast, transfer to the Airport for your flight back to the UK. (B)
