The Flåm Railway is a train journey between the villages of Flåm and Myrdal in Western Norway. It is frequently referred to as 'the most beautiful train journey in the world'. I've ridden the Flåm Railway dozens of times, and in this video I go over the important information you should know before you make the journey.

Best advice for this trip I’ve found. Thank you

Thank you so much. Lovely practical advice. I am going end of May this year (2023) and will be travelling alone. As an older person I have been worrying about being alone amongst groups of people pushing or just generally being inconsiderate, caught up in their own sightseeing. You have given great tips here I will definitely follow

Great info on the train. Thanks. If you take the train from Flam, do you stay on the train if you want to go back to Flam? Will there be any water in the waterfall at the end of September?

Thanks! This is very helpful. As a high season cruise ship visitor, one thing I am wondering about the round trip ticket is whether I can or should spend any time in Myrdal. I assume I will have a couple of hours of flexibility where I could explore there perhaps, but I am not sure what my ticket or the train schedules might permit.

Thank you so much for your video, it's really useful for me since I'm going to Bergen next week and I'd like to add a trip to Flam Railway. I just have a doubt: at the moment I have 2 options in mind: 1. Doing Norway in a nutshell tour form Bergen to Bergen (one day trip) or doing the flam railway by myself (train from Bergen to Myrdal, Flam railway and then back from Myrdal to Bergen again) and then doing the Cruise from Bergen to Mostraumen another day. Which option would you recommend?

Great Video! Thanks a lot for the details. Could you please give some inputs on managing luggage?

@TheHiddenNorth 2 жыл бұрын

It is tricky but manageable with luggage. If travelling from Bergen - Oslo and overnighting in Flåm, you can use the service "Porter Service", which transports your luggage for you

@welltravelledlife Жыл бұрын

We are headed to Norway (on one of those dreaded cruise ships!) in July. Flam railway has been on my list for the last 3 trips we’ve made to Norway, but the idea of fighting the crowds isn’t very appealing. We’d really like to find private guides where we can get off the beaten track a bit. We’d love any ideas you might have.

@user-xz7dz7if7g 7 ай бұрын

Very interesting and thorough. One remaining question: how far is the Flam railway station from the cruise dock?

@peterho8007 Жыл бұрын

Thank you . Another great video on Norway. Very informative. One question about this railway line, is there any restrictions on luggage size and storage services ?? Thanks

@TheHiddenNorth Жыл бұрын

No restrictions :)

This video is awesome! Thank you for sharing all this info. Slightly unrelated - do you think it's easier / more convenient to get to Geirangerfjord from Oslo or Bergen?

@TheHiddenNorth Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your message. Both have challenges. I would recommend flying to Ålesund and driving from there.

Wow, thank u so much for the video!! I wish That I had watched before, we are going to flam in 1 week and now almost all sold out, but I have a question that you may can help me, I can see seats available on the way to Myrdal but to seats on the way back :( any tip? I checked on Vy website ;)

@gabrielapolatti205 Ай бұрын

Also is possible to go back to Flam by taxi?

@FF-xl7yw Жыл бұрын

Great job! you are wonderful!!! What is the cost to do just the Flam train? Thanks in advance.

@matthewluz101 Жыл бұрын

It's about 650NOK but prices can vary slightly depending on the time of year or whether you do a round trip.

I would like to ask if you would recommend to walk from Myrdal to Flam. I see rarely people doing it.

@TheHiddenNorth Жыл бұрын

That would be about a 20km walk - not sure it's worth it. Bike/train is much nicer :)

Hello Maria, thanks for your message! There are no specific numbers, but sitting on the right is better for going up to Myrdal, while sitting on the left is better for going down to Flåm :)
