Rail travel is one of the most relaxing ways to enjoy Norway’s breathtaking scenery and see it in all its glory. Just sit back and soak up the stunning views of mountains, fjords and picturesque towns as they roll past your window. Travel in comfort on Norway’s excellent rail network which includes some of the world’s finest train journeys.
Among the best known, the Bergen Railway travels between Oslo and Bergen through spectacular landscapes ‘Over the Roof of Norway’ and can be combined with the iconic and amazingly scenic corkscrew Flamsbana Railway, which spirals its way past cascading waterfalls and snow-capped mountains. The Rauma Railway is considered to be one of the most beautiful train routes taking you south from Andalsnes.
Rail journeys can be incorporated into a tailor-made holiday to Norway. And you can choose to connect rail links from the UK if you prefer a ‘no-fly’ option. Chat to our travel specialists to discuss what suits you best.
Top tip. If you're staying in Flam, book a restaurant in advance or prepare to be hungry. This small village is a popular stop-over and can be unexpectedly busy in the summer.
