Norway's unforgettable Bergensbanen
Railway links two of Northern Europe's most charismatic and
culturally-rich cities - Oslo and Bergen - via a
five-hundred-kilometre train journey that surely ranks amongst the
world's greatest.
As you join Rail Discoveries on
this remarkable rail adventure, from the comfort of your seat
you'll witness the best of Norway's magnificent scenery from
soaring mountains to snow-dusted pine forests and, of course, the
spectacular coastal fjords for which the country is famous. As we
head north to the Arctic Circle and the beautiful Lofoten Islands,
Norway reveals some of its most wondrous natural treasures. In
summer, daylight persists around the clock for three months as the
sun remains steadfastly above the horizon; this is truly the 'land
of the midnight sun'.
In winter, meanwhile,
Norway's dark northern skies play host to the awe-inspiring
illuminations of the Aurora Borealis; the fabled Northern
Lights.
