The scenery keeps getting more spectacular as we climb through the central regions of Norway, getting a little bit like Switzerland with tall mountains in the distance and glaciers, with lakes where the water is clear blue color.
We change trains mid-way at Myrdal and board the Flam railway which is one of the most scenic rides in Europe. It travels about four miles from the mountain tops down through seven lush valleys to the waters below in the Sognefjord, Norway’s largest fjord. There we catch a boat to Bergen through the Sognefjord. There's lots of great scenery during the boat ride, with the mountains towering high above on both sides of this chasm.

I have been fortunate to see, feel and enjoy the magnificent scenery that Norway offers to its visitors. I traveled by train from Oslo to Bergen. I stayed in Bergen a couple of nights, then I took a bus to Odda to hike Trolltunga. I came back to Oslo by bus through another route. Definitely Norway is beautiful!

In 1968 I took a train from Oslo to Trondheim... It was an amazing trip and I treasure the memories of it to this day in 2020... Norway is a very beautiful Country and is much like British Columbia where I am from.

It is called Norway in a nutshell. We did that about 15 years ago. Wonderful trip.

I've done this fantastic and marvellous trip OSLO to BERGEN back in April 1974 all the way by train after 65 days traveling all around Europe with Rail-Pass. Now I'm back to Sao Paulo - Brazil.

In 2017 in October/November I travelled through Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland with my wife. Most of our travel was by train. We took this trip except that we went all the way to Bergen by train - missing the Flam unfortunately. We then took a trip up the fjord and also to the trip to the top of the mountain behind Bergen. The journey across Norway was spectacular with wonderful scenery, lovely snow covered areas up into the mountains and beautifully green coming down the mountains into Bergen. All the trains were clean, on time, featured free wifi and USB charging points at the seat. I'd recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore this region of the world. We flew back from Bergen to Oslo which was a lot less interesting but took about 40 mins. Later we took the train from Oslo to Trondheim which was also a great scenic trip. Thanks for posting your video and reminding me of the trip.

Thank you for this video that I could watch. I’ve been to Norway and these areas that you showed but of course they are so much better than when I was here in 1970 but I enjoyed it and never ever forgotten it. We were with our two girls and my husband and I.

My first trip in Norway from Oslo to Bergen was in 1988, but my favorite place was Follebu the Viking Antik king Olav palace, near Lillehammer, my second favorite place is Lofoten island. Greeting from Morocco.

Tq for your wonderful video. It certainly brings back all the awesome memory of Norway which we covered in 2010! Yes, still vivid in memory! We did the Norway in the nutshell, spent two nights in Bergen, Oslo, & Alesund where we took the Hurtirigen cruise to Geiranger fiords.

Beautiful. I was 20 when I took a train from Oslo to Bergen. I still remember the beautiful scenery. It was just a delight. I also remember the Fana Folklore, a traditional wedding, that we attended. The sun only went down at midnight. Wonderful wonderful experience.
