Oslo to Bergen, Norway
Take a trip from Oslo to Bergen on Vy, the Norwegian state railway (I was delighted to get a senior’s ticket – a usual Norwegian courtesy), a journey of scenic delight at any time of the year, and stop over at Myrdal. There, buy a return ticket for the Flåm Railway, for a 12-mile journey that takes you down the mountains, travelling through tunnels and behind waterfalls to the village of Flåm alongside the Aurlandsfjord. An overnight stay at the Fretheim hotel inclusive of dinner and breakfast will revive the most weary traveller. The next morning, head back to the mountain top at Myrdal to continue the train journey to Bergen.
