Discover the Flåm Railway - an incredible train
journey from the mountain station at Myrdal on
the Bergen Railway,
down to Flåm station nestled
in the innermost corner of the Aurlandfjord.
Each year, this exciting stretch of
railway attracts people from all corners of the
world, making the Flåm Railway
one of Norway's
major and most spectacular tourist attractions.
The train journey
provides some of Norway's wildest and most
magnificent scenery. On the 20 km-long train
ride
you can see rivers
that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls
cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped
mountains
and mountain farms
cling dizzily to sheer slopes.
The Flåm Railway is
one of the worlds steepest railway lines on
normal gauge. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost
80% of the line,
i.e. a gradient of one in eighteen. The twisting
tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountain
are
manifestations of
the most daring and skilful engineering in
Norwegian railway history.
At the foot of the
mountains you can enjoy the natural beauty of
the Flåm Valley and admire the majestic
Aurlandsfjord, a
branch of the world's longest and deepest fjord,
the Sognefjord.
