Bergen Line

Linking Oslo and Bergen, this is Northern Europe’s highest railway, climbing to 1,237m above sea level as it crosses the idyllic Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The pretty Alpine scenery up here is truly special, and very popular for hiking and fishing during summer, but during the freezing winter months the best way to experience its meadows, streams and lakes is definitely on a scenic railway journey.

You’ll also pass through Finse, which is known as ‘mini-Antarctica’, because its extreme conditions led polar explorers Nansen, Amundsen and Shackleton to use it as a training ground. And keep an eye out for wildlife too, you might spot arctic foxes, snow owls and wild reindeer as your train winds its way across the dramatic rocky route.

Arctic Circle Train

Experience the timeless winter landscape of Lapland on board the Arctic Circle train. Travelling from the Norwegian coast, the route takes you over the mountains into Sweden, through the beautiful birch forests that drape the fells of Abisko National Park.

Lasting around three hours and stopping at 12 points along the way, the Arctic Cicle train is popular with adrenaline-junkies, including skiers keen to experience the thrills of Björkliden ski resort and adventurers exploring the dramatic Riksgränsen mountain range on snowmobiles and helicopters. For a more leisurely experience, simply ride the length of the railway from Narvik to Kiruna and then travel by road to Jukkasjärvi, home to Sweden’s unique Icehotel.
