Flåm Railway Norway Postcard

The Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) is one of the most beautiful and steepest train journeys in the world, winding its way from the mountain station of Myrdal down to the picturesque village of Flåm nestled at the innermost corner of the Aurlandsfjord. Over its 20-kilometer route, the vintage green train passes through vertical cliffs, roaring waterfalls, and lush valley landscapes, offering passengers unparalleled views of western Norway's dramatic natural beauty. Engineered as a masterpiece of Norwegian rail travel, the line negotiates a steep gradient with a series of horseshoe tunnels built entirely by hand. The journey slows down at spectacular highlights like the Kjosfossen waterfall, where spraying mist and dramatic mountain slopes create an unforgettable, mystical atmosphere for travelers from across the globe.
