A 20-kilometre mountain railway connecting Flåm at Aurlandsfjord with Myrdal on the Bergen–Oslo main line, constructed between 1923 and 1940. The line climbs 865 metres through 20 tunnels and across gorges carved by the Flåmselvi river, offering a sequence of waterfalls, sheer rock faces, and panoramic valley views. It ranks among the steepest standard-gauge adhesion railways in the world.
