Holiday Idea

Embark on an extraordinary journey through Norway’s breathtaking landscapes, beginning in Oslo, the dynamic and sophisticated capital. Immerse yourself in its vibrant culture before boarding the world-renowned Bergen Line and the awe-inspiring Flåm Mountain Railway—two of the world's most scenic rail journeys. Arriving in the stunning Aurland region, you’ll stay in an exquisite eco-boutique hotel, nestled amidst the grandeur of the fjords.

Adventure awaits as you hike and kayak beneath towering peaks sculpted by ancient glaciers, embracing nature at its most majestic. Then, set sail on an unforgettable fjord and coastal cruise, gliding through the legendary Sognefjord - the 'King of the Fjords' - toward Bergen, a city steeped in history, with its iconic Hanseatic harbour and charming old town. This is no ordinary holiday; this is a once-in-a-lifetime escape into Norway’s wild, untamed beauty.

Day 3 | Bergen Line & Flåm Mountain Railway

Enjoy a spectacular day on the Bergen Line and Flåm Mountain railways. Bergen Line is Northern Europe's highest stretch of railway, and crosses both the Langfjellene mountains and the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The 20 kms long, Flåm Mountain Railway then descends via a serpentine track from mountain to fjord; the track took 20 years to build and is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world. See rivers, deep ravines, cascading waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, and remote mountain farms. Transfer to your boutique hotel - a former fishing lodge - for the next three nights.
