Ofoten Railway from Kiruna and Gallivare to Narvik

The Ofoten Railway lies on a headland at the foot of the Fagernesfjellet, between the Beisfjord and Rornbaksfjord, and runs between the iron-ore mines at Kiruna in Swedish Lapland and the port town of Narvik on the Norwegian coast. The modern town of Narvik was developed as a port for the export of the iron-ore, and the Ofoten Railway, was built at the turn of the century as the link between the mines and the port.

At the time of construction, the Ofoten Railway was both the coldest and northern-most railway project in the world. The 26-mile (42km) line was painstakingly carved out the mountains - an incredible engineering project that was largely undertaken by hand. The result is a breathtaking route which takes passengers past deep fjords, through the wild, rugged mountains and the barren mountain plateaus north of the Arctic Circle.

The Ofoten Railway Museum is dedicated to the local history of Narvik and the Ofoten Railway, and is located close to the centre of Narvik.

“It's a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time. The promises ticked all the boxes but the reality was not perfect. The season was too early for a couple of the promised experiences and the standard of the hotels did vary considerably.

“The Northern Lights were spectacular. The Ice Hotel was amazing and drinking vodka out of a ice glass was an enjoyable experience. The sled ride pulled by huskies was al unique and never to be forgotten experience. All but one of the Hotels in which we stayed were good and provided good food and made us welcome.
