The Flåm Railway is one of the steepest standard gauge railway lines in the world, with 80% of the journey running on a gradient of 5.5%. The train runs through spectacular scenery, alongside the Rallar Road, vertiginous mountainsides, foaming waterfalls, through 20 tunnels, and offers so many viewpoints that, for many people, a single trip up and down is not enough.
How does the saying go? Getting there is half the fun! Well getting there for this group is all of the fun. Sights along the way had everyone jumping from side to side to get pictures and see the sights. The train did make a couple of stops for us to take pictures too!
The villages and farms along the way were so inviting. You wished you could stop at each and hear the stories that evolved there.
