We rode the Flamsbana from Myrdal to Flam on June 29 and back to Myrdal on July 1. The first ride was not full, and we could move around to get good pictures. The return trip was full but not overcrowded, as there were cruise passengers on the train. The scenery is honestly breathtaking either way! The kjosfossen waterfall is... more

Visited Flam railway in May 2009, not too busy at that time, wonderful views of the valleys and mountains, and the stop at the waterfall is wonderful to take photos, the journey from Flam station to Myrdal takes about 50 minutes, and if there is a cruise ship docked at Flam, better to go later in the day when the... more

I did this as part of the NIN in early May and this was one of the highlights. It's a real pity some people on Tripadvisor didn't get to enjoy it. It's not too packed in May and perhaps that is a good time to go. There was no tacky music at the waterfall and the weather was bright and... more

Travelled on the 'norway in a nutshell' ticket from Bergen via train to Voss, coach to Gudvangen, Boat to Flam, then on the Flamsbana train up to Myrdal, and finally via express back to Bergen. A most enjoyable day and well recommended. The ticket cost 935 Kr. and i bought it the day before in Bergen Tourist Information. I imagine... more

Easy and well worth doing at any time of year - if it's open, go see it! Can be reached in a 4 hour drive out from Bergen. Recommend a stop in nearby Aurland (Vansgaarden hytte). Trip is approx 50 mins each way. Do the Flam - Myrdal - Flam direction. more

The Flam Railway is undoubtedly scenic, and a great way to get to the stunning little town of the same name. While my trip did not suffer from the massive overcrowding experienced by some other unfortunate reviewers, I nevertheless gained the distinct impression that groups were the priority. While I can understand this, from memory the groups received a significant... more

The Flam Railway is ok, but just ok. We went on a rainy August day - 1 day before a large cruise ship came into Flam. The number of tourists in Flam at that time was fairly modest, so we didn't experience the overcrowding issues noted in some other reviews. We were disappointed that the operators of the train had... more

My family did not enjoy the Flam Railway journey we experienced recently (July 2008). We did this journey twice - first time from Myrdal to Flam and then again two days later to get from Flam to Myrdal (to rejoin the main Olso-Bergen line). Both times it was tourist hell. This train does not have designated seating, so it's "first... more

Visited July 2007 as part of 12 day cruise. Booked an excursion through the ship to guarantee the train ride due to the amount of people on 2 cruise ships being in Flam! Took the train to Vatnahalsen and stopped off at the hotel for coffee and waffles before going on a short walk. The train stopped on the upward... more
