Travelling by train is the ultimate way to enjoy your journey, while also doing your part to help the planet. Since the Scandinavian nation is known to value health, wellbeing and sustainability, Norway train travel makes a lot of sense. The country’s mighty mountainous terrain and expansive fjord-filled landscapes were made to be admired in a leisurely fashion, a privilege which train journeys afford. Settle into a plush train carriage and allow yourself to be whisked from Oslo to Myrdal and Myrdal to Flam, on what is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.

Norway Train Travel Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Begin your Norway train travel adventure in the pocket-sized capital of Oslo and stretch your legs with a bike tour of the trendy Scandinavian city, before boarding your train and journeying to the country’s more remote corners. Along the way, make sure to do plenty of window-watching, as the voyage from Myrdal to Flam is often considered to be one of the most beautiful train routes in the world. The fabulous views don’t stop once you’ve reached your destination; swap your train carriage for a car in Aurland and journey up to the Stegastein viewpoint, which towers 2,100ft above Aurlandsfjord and boasts breath-taking panoramas across the mountains.


Norway train travel can also take you to the coastal city of Bergen, home to Sognefjord, the country’s longest and deepest fjord. Board a ferry that will transport you along the fjord and ensure you have your camera on hand, as this route is particularly snap-ready. With train travel being as much about the journey as the destination, we can add in plenty of stops along the way for soaking up some Scandinavian culture. Enjoy the indulgent custom of fika (a coffee and cinnamon bun break) in Aurland, learn more about Norwegian folklore in Skaldegard and visit the country’s smallest post office in Styvi.
