Routes and stations
The Bergen Line runs about 471 km from Oslo S to Bergen and has 21 stations. It was completed in 1909. Key stops include Drammen, Geilo, Finse, Myrdal and Voss.
The train climbs to 1,237 m above sea level on the Hardangervidda plateau. Finse is a base for hiking. At Myrdal you can change to the Flåm Railway, which runs down to Flåm in about an hour.
There are 6 to 7 trains a day. The trip takes about 6.5 hours by day and longer by night.

Tips for travellers
Leaving Oslo, sit on the left for the Hardangervidda views. Leaving Bergen, sit on the right.
In winter daylight is short. Take a morning or early afternoon train if you want to see the mountains.
Pack warm clothes even in summer if you plan to get off at Finse or Myrdal; it is high mountain country.
