The Flåm Railway in winter

A minibus takes you from Bergen to Gudvangen and the Viking village, an electric boat carries you through the Nærøyfjord to Flåm, and the 14:30 Flåm Railway climbs to Myrdal for the train home. Pick it for a short winter day that still fits the whole loop, back in Bergen by early evening.

Winter Tour: Viking Village, Cruise & Flåm Railway

About this experience

This is the winter twin of Fjordrive's main minibus day, on the same route, roughly October to March. The black Sprinter leaves Strandkaien 1 at 08:00 for a coffee break at Dale, a photo stop at Tvindefossen and a 45-minute guided tour of the Njardarheimr Viking village at Gudvangen. An electric boat takes two hours through the Nærøyfjord to Flåm, and after 30 minutes there the 14:30 Flåm Railway climbs to Myrdal in 56 minutes.

At Myrdal you wait about 42 minutes for the 15:56 Bergen Line train, due in Bergen at 18:17. Those are the listing's times from November; in October the train times differ and come by email. The operator's 2025 timetable had four Flåm Railway departures a day from November to March (2025 timetable), so there is little slack if something runs late.

Set your expectations. The listing says snow is not guaranteed in October or November, and nobody can promise it later either. There is no Huldra performance at Kjosfossen in winter, though the train still stops at the waterfall (Fjord Tours). Visit Norway lists the Viking village as closed in winter except for groups and events, so ask the operator what the winter visit includes. Late cancellations are not refunded, and meals are not included.

Tips before you book

  • Dress for wind on the boat deck: layers, a hat and gloves.
  • Bring snacks. Meals are not included and the stops are short.
  • Views switch sides on the way up from Flåm. Most guides say sit on the right going up, and everyone gets out at Kjosfossen anyway.
  • From late November the ride home is in the dark, so the best views come before 15:00.
  • Booking for October? Wait for the email with that month's train times.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be snow on the winter Flåm Railway tour?

Possibly, but nobody can promise it. The listing says snow is not guaranteed in October or November. Myrdal sits at 867 m, so the top of the line often looks wintry before the fjord does.

Is the Huldra show on in winter?

No. The performance at Kjosfossen is a summer show. The train still stops at the waterfall for about five minutes all year.

What time does the winter tour get back to Bergen?

At about 18:17, on the 15:56 train from Myrdal, according to the listing's times from November. October train times differ and are sent by email.

How is it different from Fjordrive's other Viking village tour?

Same route, different season. The main listing runs from April to 12 December; this one runs roughly October to March. In the overlap, compare both for your date.
