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 summer farm. This is the location of Kårdal summer farm and, if the kiosk is open, remember to try a homemade traditional pancake with brown goat’s cheese or jam and sour cream.

It will take you one to two hours to cycle to Flåm. Park the bike behind the red building next to eMobility by 21:00 at the latest.
