Comments on: Flåm Railway in the Winter /flam-railway-in-winter/ All Things Norway, In English Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:12:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: John Potier /flam-railway-in-winter/#comment-1037771 Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:12:48 +0000 /?p=78145#comment-1037771 A year ago to celebrate a birthday I, with my 2 daughters and their adult children, drove out by car from Voss to join the Flåmbana at Flåm. Although the weather was not great, being damp and drizzly the scenery was stunning and the waterfalls were in full flow.
I was first in this area (Voss) in 1957 on holiday with a college friend during which time I met my-to-be Norwegian wife. Sadly she died at end of 2021 and this trip to Voss with my children and grand-children was a journey down memory lane.

It was a mix of utter wildness plus coziness, how I feel about Norway…This rail trip is on my bucket list, and it may come true this summer…. Never let dreams die, Especially Norway dreams 🙂

There were few tourists & announcements were all in Norwegian, until we were thrilled to be welcomed in English as visitors from England. I still love the journey on quieter days.
Incidentally I also learned not to go to Finse to view the Hardanger glacier in winter. Its invisible under the snow! The icicles in Finae were magnificant though !
