Sognefjord Express Cruise, Flåm Railway and Bergen Railway
This tour includes a cruise by express boat on the Sognefjord and train journeys through spectacular nature on the famous Flåm Railway and the Bergen Railway. Along the way, you will be informed of places and history by our local guide who will be your traveling companion throughout the tour.
Sognefjorden, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, extends more than 200 km inland to the foot of the Jotunheimen Mountains. This area is said to be one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world. The Sognefjord is called the King of the Fjords for a good reason: it is the longest ice-free fjord in the world and 1300 meters (4265 ft) at its deepest. The fjord is enveloped with exceptional natural beauty, tall mountains, waterfalls, and scenic forests.
The fjord cruise ends in Flåm, a charming village surrounded by precipitous mountainsides, rumbling waterfalls, and narrow valleys. Here we can have lunch, visit the Railway Museum or just wander around in the busy harbour.
The trip continues with the Flåm Railway which is one of the world’s steepest railways. The 20-km train journey from Flåm to Myrdal gives you a panoramic view of some of the wildest and most magnificent of Norwegian mountain nature, including the famous Kjosfossen waterfall. The train spends about an hour on the trip. At Myrdal station, a train changes to the Bergen Line which takes us back to Bergen.
