The programme

All aboard! Camera in hand, your journey along the Flåmsbana begins in Flåm, at the foot of Aurlandsfjord and of one of the world’s most beautiful railroads.
While the train slowly climbs, you’ve got time to look left and right and listen to your guide. It might seem unbelievable, but this railroad line dating back to 1909 is among the steepest of them all: just think, the difference in altitude is 900 meters!
Ever higher up, the Flåm river is now far behind and the mountain seems to go on forever. But it’s when the forest opens out onto the view of the fjord that you’ll find yourself open-mouthed. Snap out of it and listen: it’s time to get out and take your photos.
And this is just a taste. At the Kjosfossen falls, the play of water, rock and sky represents an unmissable challenge: capture the perfect view and you’ll remember the power of nature in this narrow gorge forever.
After 20 km of scenery and tunnels, there’s Myrdal station, 876 meters above sea level. Before heading back, listen out: think you can hear bells? As the legend has it, the “huldra”, may be nearby…
