The Flåm Railway is one of the steepest railway lines in the world on normal tracks, where almost 80% of the journey has a gradient of 5.5%, the equivalent of 1:18. A twisting tunnel, which winds its way throught the mountain at several levels, is proof of the most audacious and skilled engineering exploits in Norwegian railroad history.

From Dalsbotten and down to Hårreina you will pass by the powerful waterfall, Rjoandefossen. Make sure to stop by Flåm Church which was raised in 1667. The poet, Per Sivle, was born and grew up on the farm across the river from the church. You can see the stone that has been raised in his memory. On the last part towards Flåm you are cycling on the car route going up the valley, so take care and keep your speed down.
