In the rush hour a double track railway can carry as many passengers as two four-lane motorways!
The Bergen Railway
Join us on a spectacular journey through the winter sports resorts of Geilo, Gol and Nesbyen - up Hallingdalen to Finse and Hardangerjøkulen glacier. On the descent to Voss, the landscape opens out and the journey ends in Bergen, with its fish market, seven mountains, culture and history.
“When you buy a train ticket to Bergen, you are buying a ticket to one of Europe’s most spectacular adventures. We’re talking about the Bergen Line, one of the highest railways in Europe.”
After Drammen, there are several interesting stops on the route to Vikersund and Hønefoss. The train continues to Nesbyen, Gol and Geilo, which are all winter sports centres. Through Hallingdalen the track climbs, with some sharp inclines, to one of Europe’s highest mountain plateaus – to Finse, with the Rallar Road (Rallarvegen, the old navvies' road) and Hardangerjøkulen glacier nearby. There are countless tours and hiking opportunities to enjoy here!
