Flåm Railway

A branch line of the Bergen Railway, the scenic Flåm Railway takes passengers on a wonderful 12.5 mile (20km) journey up one of the steepest railway lines in the world. On its journey from Flåm, located at the innermost corner of the Aurlandsfjord, the train negotiates horseshoe curves, twists, turns and 20 tunnels - 18 of which were drilled by hand. This railway heads towards the mountainous Myrdal, passing impressive waterfalls, leafy canyons and large fjords along the way. Climbing into the surrounding peaks, the route is a majorly impressive feat of rail engineering, particularly as its one of the steepest railways in the world - operating on a gradient of 5.5%. The carriages are rustic with traditional wooden benches and large panoramic windows.

The scenery is truly spectacular, with rivers and waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and remote farms passing by the window as you travel towards Myrdal at 2,838 feet (865m).
