Highlights of the tour

Cross the snowy Hardangervidda on the Bergen Railway

  • One of Europe's most scenic train journeys above the tree line and onto the Hardangervidda, Norway's vast mountain plateau, covered in snow during the winter
  • You'll pass through Finse at 1222 meters. It’s remote and covered in snow, and it feels like the edge of the world
  • Minus temperatures, snow, frozen lakes: the Bergen Railway runs through it all, warm carriages against the cold outside

Ride through a frosty valley with Flåm Railway

  • Board the historic railway connecting the snowy mountain tops to the quiet fjord
  • Stop at the frozen Kjosfossen waterfall, where winter transforms this powerful, loud waterfall into a quiet, magical stop

Spend the night in Flåm

  • Stay the night in Flåm: where east meets west and mountain meets fjord
  • Experience the Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord in full winter glory: the silence, blue light covering the fjord and barren mountain sides

Feel the crisp winter air at Stegastein viewpoint

  • Enjoy the views of the wintery Aurlandsfjord from Stegastein viewpoint
  • Feel the crisp wind from the fjords blowing as you safely stand by the glass edge

Cruise the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord
