2 DAYS Across NORWAY By Train (Norway in a Nutshell)

Editorial Summary

The creators document a two-day journey through Norway using the Norway in a Nutshell route, which utilizes a combination of trains, buses, and ferries. Starting in Bergen, the trip includes a funicular ride for panoramic views, followed by a train to Voss, a bus to Gudvangen, and a silent, zero-emission catamaran ferry through the fjords to Flam. The creators recommend breaking the trip into two days by staying overnight in Flam to avoid fourteen hours of continuous travel and to allow for local exploration, such as hiking to the Bredefossen waterfall. The second day involves the Flamsbana, a steep and scenic railway, before connecting to a long-distance train to Oslo. The creators conclude that the journey is worth the hype due to the dense scenery and accessibility, though they warn travelers to expect large crowds. They suggest booking early morning departures to avoid cruise ship passengers and note that while the trip is expensive, the infrastructure is highly organized and efficient.
