The trip starts with bus from Bergen, via Voss to Aurlandsvangen and to the fantastic viewing platform Stegastein, which towers 650 metres above the fjord below. After a 30 min stop, the journey continues to the little village of Flåm nestled at the end of Aurlandsfjorden, a side fjord to Sognefjorden. Here you have 2 hours to enjoy the view and visit the museum if you like.
The main attraction of our trip will be the world renowned Flåm Railway which stretches from Flåm to Myrdal station 865 metres above sea level. Almost 80% of the journey is at a 55% incline, and one of the tunnels on the journey is formed as spiral in order to accommodate for this steepness.
At Myrdal there will be a short stop to change trains, and we will continue back to Bergen on Bergensbanen.
