Bergen to Finse

The first leg of our train journey to Oslo was the two and a half hour trip to Finse. Finse is the high point of this route (and the highest point in Norway’s rail network) at 1,222 m. The railway, completed in 1909, was a major infrastructure project to link Norway’s two largest cities. The journey is extremely scenic and the line stays open all year round. When we left Bergen it was 0 degrees and on arrival at Finse it was -7 degrees, but very dry with crunchy snow.

Ready to disembark ….or rob a bank !
