Each year, this exciting 20-kilometer railway attracts people from all over the world, making the Flam Railway one of Norway's major and most impressive tourist attractions.

It is an extraordinary train journey from the mountain station at Myrdal on the Bergen Railway down to Flam station. It is amazing what the Flam Railway has to offer!

From uncultivated and striking mountainous scenery with snow-pad peaks to abundant pastures and historical traditions reaching back to the pre-Christian millennia, how can one imagine a better vacation?

Flam Railway is one of the world's steepest railways. And such a steep railway can take you passed spectacular waterfalls within the snow capped tapering mountain escapes.

Boarding the train is an experience of its own.

Everything you think you know about beautiful paintings and majestic scenery is put to rest when you see the rivers cutting through the deep narrow valleys, the waterfalls pouring down the side of steep snow capped cliffs, and mountain farms playfully attached to pure slopes.

Engineering has reached a new level in Norway. The engineers who built this popular landmark defied convention and reached above and beyond.

It is evident through the twisting tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountains that label the Flam Railway a true demonstration of the most skillful engineering in Norwegian railway history!

As you find yourself at the foot of the mountains, the view becomes as captivating as ever. You can enjoy the natural beauty of the Flam Valley and truly admire the majestic landscape that is Aurlandfjord.

The Flam Railway demonstrates a lively countenance to its viewers. The engines and carriages are in natural green décor with an exclusive guide and loudspeaker service to explain each the lands.

Not only is this the best way to travel through the Norwegian Fjords, but also it is a learning experience. The loudspeaker is your teacher, and it delivers all information in different languages!

A trip on the Flam Railway is just as stunning in winter as in summer. Of course you should try both if you get the chance, but you never have to worry about which time of year may be better!

As the landscape changes so significantly with each season, it makes for a radically different experience.

If you are travelling in winter, keep in mind that days are short this time of year. So, make sure your trip is scheduled during daylight hours.

If you start your journey too early or too late, part of it will be in the dark, which means you may miss out on the marvelous scenery along the way.  Proper planning is key!
