The Flåm Railway takes you from waterside Flåm to mountainous Myrdal, passing impressive waterfalls, leafy canyons and large fjords along the way. Climbing into the surrounding peaks, the route is a majorly impressive feat of rail engineering, particularly as its one of the steepest railways in the world - operating on a gradient of 5.5%. The carriages are rustic with traditional wooden benches and large panoramic windows.
