The Flåm Railway has been described as one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world and is one of the leading tourist attractions in Norway. The train runs from the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a tributary of the Sognefjord, up to the high mountains at Myrdal station. The journey features all the highlights of Western Norway’s stunning scenery. From the comfort of a vintage train compartment, you can enjoy the changing scenery of the Flåm Valley. Before ascending into the more impassable sections of the valley, the train runs through agricultural landscapes, the old Flåm village center, and by the old church. The sparkling blue river follows the tracks for a section of the trip, and you will pass small farms in locations so remote you’d think no one could live there.
