Positives: Rail rider dream come true. Steep rocky walls, snow caps, water falls, green valleys and plateaus, tunnels, 180 degree turns. Negatives: seating is 2-aisle-3.

While the scenery was majestic, the train was crowded and the explanation of the route difficult to follow. It was okay but a bit cheesy and not jaw-dropping.

As well as our Norwegian friends, we did not know what to expect. The train leaves an arm of Aurlandsfjord and travels up a steep route for 20 kms, and up 1,000 m., winding its way along the steep valley past waterfalls, through tunnels and fantastic scenery. It stops at the top and goes down 1/2 hour later. Quote from... More
