Accommodation, Flåm Railway & Zipline

The Flåm Railway

Known as one of the world’s most scenic railway journeys, the Flåm Railway is a must when visiting Flåm. Even better than a return trip on the train combining the trip with spectacular activities. And this is exactly what this package offers.

Board the Flåm Railway at Flåm station by the fjord and enjoy the ride up the beautiful valley to Vatnahalsen station in the mountains. This is not only one of the most beautiful railways in the world, it is also one of the steepest. You will be impressed by the stunning engineering!

Flåm Zipline: Scandinavia’s longest zipline

From Vatnahalsen station, follow the signs to the Flåm Zipline. The terrace by the zipline offers panoramic views of the lush valley below, and the old construction road, Rallarveien, zigzagging down the steep mountainside.

The zipline has a total span of 1381 metres, a height difference of 305 metres and can reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!

The zipline finishes at the Kårdal mountain farm. This is the location of Rallarrosa Stølsysteri and, if the kiosk is open, remember to try a homemade traditional pancake with brown goat’s cheese or jam and sour cream.

Cycle the Flåm Valley

Kårdal is where you cycle the approx. 15-kilometre trip back to Flåm. The road is partly gravel, partly paved and is easy to cycle. Take your time to explore the valley and take a packed lunch or a sandwich from Flåm Bakery. There are plenty of idyllic places to stop for a picnic.

It will take you one to two hours to cycle to Flåm. Park the bike at the quay near Flåm Marina by 20:00 at the latest.
