So hear they are.  My train tickets for one of the four rail journeys I’ll be making during ScandiRAYvia.

But these aren’t just any train tickets.  Nope, nope, nope.  This is my ticket to the Flamsbana, regarded as one of the most spectacular rail journeys in the world.

The trip from Oslo to Bergen itself travels through the highest rail altitude of any train ride in Europe.  And the Flamsbana, which is a spur about halfway through this trip, which takes you down to the fjord, is one of the very steepest railway lines in the world on normal tracks.

Here’s the route:

I love trains.  No, I love love love LOVE trains.  I’ve loved them my whole life.  Perhaps it’s because I’ve always believed I was conceived on a train. (Ew.  Made you think about it.)

This train trip was one of the main reasons for putting ScandiRAYvia together.

It’s fitting that it’s almost at the end of my trip.

Now all I need is some good weather so all of those postcard-pretty mountains, meadows and fjords are presented in their best light!
