Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: The Bergen Railway, Oslo Central Train Station, Oslo NorwayThe Bergen Railway is a 371-kilometre (231 mi) long scenic standard gauge railway line between Bergen and Hønefoss. The name is often applied for the entire route from Bergen to Oslo where the passenger trains go, a distance of 496 kilometres (308 mi). It is the highest mainline railway line in Northern Europe, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1,237 metres (4,058 ft) above sea level. The railway opened from Bergen to Voss in 1883 as the narrow Voss gauge line. In 1909 the route was continued over the mountain to Oslo and the whole route converted to standard gauge and the Voss Line became part of the Bergen Line. The line is single track and was electrified in 1954-64. The Flåm Railway remains as the only branch line, after the closure of the Hardanger Line. Duration: 4 hoursStop At: Hallingskarvet National Park, Vesleslaattvegen 13, Geilo 3580 NorwayHallingskarvet National Park is a national park in central Norway that was established in 2006. The park is located in the municipalities of Hol (Viken county), Ulvik and Aurland (both in Vestland county). The national park covers 450 square km (170 sq mi) of the Hallingskarvet mountain range and hosts large stocks of wild reindeer, an important factor in the establishment of the park. The highest point in the national park is Folarskardnuten which reaches an elevation of 1,933 metres (6,342 ft) above sea level. The landscape of Hallingskarvet was shaped by multiple ice ages. The Bergen Railway runs along the southern boundary of the park. There is no road access to the southern side of the park, so Finse Station, a stop on the railway line, is one of the few ways that people can access this part of the park.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Flåmsbana, A-Feltvegen 11, 5743 Flåm, NorwayFlåm Railway is a 20.2-kilometer (12.6 mi) long railway line between Flåm and Myrdal. A branch line of the Bergen Line, it runs through the valley of Flåmsdalen and connects the mainline with Sognefjorden. The line's elevation difference is 866 meters (2,841 ft); it has ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 percent (1:18). Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flåm Line is now almost exclusively a tourist service and has become the third-most visited tourist attraction in Norway. Construction of the line started in 1924, with the line opening in 1940. It allowed the district of Sogn access to Bergen and Oslo via the Bergen Line. Electric traction was taken into use in 1944.Duration: 1 hourStop At: Aurlandsfjord, NorwayThe Aurlandsfjord flows through the municipalities of Auland, Vik and Lærdal. The 29-kilometre (18 mi) long fjord is a branch off of the main Sognefjorden, Norway's longest fjord. The fjord is deep and narrow, reaching a depth of about 962 metres (3,156 ft) and its width is generally less than 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide. About 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) south of the mouth of the fjord, the Nærøyfjord branches off from it to the west. The village of Flåm sits at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord; other villages along the fjord are Aurlandsvangen and Undredal. Most of the fjord is surrounded by up to 1,800-metre (5,900 ft) tall, steep mountains with little habitation along the fjord except for in a few small valleys. Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Sognefjorden, Pyramiden Kontorfellesskap, 6868 NorwayThe Sognefjord, nicknamed the King of the Fjords, is the largest and deepest fjord in Norway, and it stretches 205 kilometres (127 mi) inland from the ocean to the small village of Skjolden in the municipality of Luster. The 1308 meters (4291 ft) deep fjord takes its name from the traditional district of Sogn, which covers the north side of the fjord. Have your camera ready on the boat and head to the top-deck. Admire the majestic mountains, open waters and captivating wildlife. Duration: 4 hoursStop At: Kviknes Hotel, Kvik
