It was a nice experience with one stop by the beautiful waterfalls. There was also a performance of which seemed to be driven from Norwegian folk troll stories. Apparently it's a historic train and a historic route as well. Didn't know much about the railway before I got on board. However, there was a commentary in many languages during the trip explaining the history of the famous Flam Railway.
We actually did this today being the 01/01/15. Got the first train out of Bergen at 0757 only to be told that there was an avalanche at Dale and we'd have to be bused to Voss then change back onto the Oslo S bound train. NSB radioed ahead to Flåm to hold our connection, otherwise it would have been quite a troublesome trip. The coach was a good substitute and didn't detract from the experience. To the other reviewers who say it's over priced for what it is!!! The tunnels were hand dug a metre a month over 20 years. And the accessibility means you ain't getting there any other way. Yes there's a monopoly but I didn't think it was too high a price to pay to bring in the year with my children enjoying wonderful scenery, warm carriages and a lovely stop by the albeit frozen waterfall. Impromptu snowball fights and high jinx was a great 2015 start. With hindsight I would have originally stopped off in Flåm coming from Oslo to avoid an unnecessary repeat journey but we got to see lovely Norway again.
Don´t miss this amazing experience. We booked it via the Tourist information office in Bergen (Norway in a nutshell). We started with a 5 hour boat trip on the fjords - amazing waterfalls, mountains and scenery - followed by the absolutely spectacular train ride from Flam to Myrdal. Flam itself is a little disappointing - a lot of tourist gift shops and cafes - I suppose I had been expecting a little Norwegian village. But then, just as we thought the best of the day was over, we caught the train from Myrdal back to Bergen and - what a surprise - more stunning views - so don't miss it and fall asleep, as others did, on this part of the train journey. It really is an absolute must.
We were on a cruise and the two place I wanted to go to were the flam railway and the geiranger fjord. We had good weather and great sunshine so we had wonderful views. The train journey stops at a hotel for waffles and coffee. Also there is a stop by the waterfall. The views all the way are wonderful. The village is very nice and we went on a small train (like a bus) this gave us a good idea of the surrounding valley.
挪威缩影的一部分,从海拔800多米的米达尔一路下降到海拔2米的Flam,铁轨一路曲折,好多隧道,但是景色很美,尤其是这个瀑布,非常壮观。
The train travels through beautiful nature and landscape. The view outside is beautiful but the train travels through many dark tunnels when one cant see anything. On its journey, it stops at a beautiful waterfall, when one can get down for 5 minutes. Expensive but worth doing.
My partner and I took the train up to Finse from Flam in the summer. The train journey itself is nice and scenic. It was jam packed full of people off the cruise ship, which is completely fair enough.. It's a great way of seeing the scenery! Most people returned after getting to Myrdl, but we changed trains and went to Finse. We hired bikes and took the amazing journey down to Flam. I must admit, the ride wasn't quite as easy as I was expecting (or I had told my girlfriend it was going to be!). It starts with a fair bit of uphill, but after approximately 20km, when you reach myrdl, it is pretty much all downhill. The switchbacks after myrdl station are amazing!In total I think the ride was approx 55km. Not a cheap day out by any means, but a must do activity if in the area. The scenery is breathtaking and at times you really feel like you could be the only people for miles!
On time warm and helpful staff- great views to soak in a must do if you have time to spend out of bergen.
It is knowned has one of the most beautiful train journeys of the world. From Gudvanger take the boat to Flam, and then catch the train to Myrdal. The train takes you to a beautiful view of snow, waterfalls and mountains. If you're in Bergen, don't miss it.
Everywhere in Norway was very picturesque especially during spring. I love this scenic train that I took during my 5 days in Norway. Worth the try and get your camera ready for one of the best experience you have!
