Flam Travel Blogs

I worked in Flåm this summer and in the last couple of days I had the pleasure of hosting Allan (Codebeck) both in Flåm and in Bergen.  We went bicycling down the Flåmsdalen (Flåm's Valley) and I took him on the fjord Cruise. Well its really a ferry ride, but the marketing department has r…

The way from Gudvangen to Flam isn't very far - just maybe 20 km or so. Since the weather was a bit better than the day before we decided to go by Flamsbana (Flam's railroad) to Myrdal and hike the Rallarvegen downhill back to Flam which is approximately 22 km.The Rallarvegen is the old railroad wo…

During my visit to Flam, I took the Flamsbana train, and went into the mountains.  The view was magnificent.

This is an old travel blog from before I had an account here at travbuddy.  This is the trip to Norway.  I can’t remember a lot of the details but I do remember the overall major details.  I went with my buddy Ed in September 2005.  We left from Hahn Germany and landed outside…

Tuesday. Lounged around this morning, rainy, rainy day. I put laptop under coat and head over to the hotel to continue free wireless, works! More Asians taking pictures in front of a carriage. I get a nice lasagna lunch just before the German tourists arrive off the big Thomson cruise ship docked…

Vikryri sa volala vraj tota džura dze sme spali. Deň predtým sme sa dohodli, že by bolo lepšie ráno skôr vstať, aby sme toho viac stihli. Ráno sa tento nápad však s veľkými ováciami nestretol. Budíček bol síce o 7:30, no nepodarilo sa nám z kempu vydžadať aj tak skôr, ako o nec…

Most of these pictures were taken on the Flam Railway.  A really great train ride that takes you to the town of Flam.  It took about an hour but they stopped so we could take pictures. 

Flåm is a location at the end of the Aurlandfjord. You could hardly call this a village. This is where two types of transport meet: the ferry and the train back in the real world. There's a wooden train station, some other commercial houses with restaurants and souvenir shops, benefiting from the …

Anyone going to Norway has to take a train and boat at some point.  I'm convinced it's the only way to really see Norway.  You know how every country has its something special that if you don't see you haven't really been to that country?  Like France has Paris, Greece has beach…

When staying in Norway you should visit the small town Flam. I think the most beautiful way to get there is with the Flamsbana, it departes from Myrdal. All the way down to Flam you see the most beautiful mountains, mountains with snow and lots and lots of waterfalls. There is an campsite/ ho…

You can take the train from Myrdal to Flam. It's a special tourist train with a looooooooooot of tourists (the Flam Railway belongs to the offer "Norway in a nutshell"). They are running from one side to the other for taking pictures. The same with Flam - lots of tourists. The main thing why I went…

Flam Norway Day 3: 6/10/08             Today was a lazy day in Flam. The weather has been off and on rain all day so the plans for renting bikes went right out the window. The three of us ended up watching a movie on my laptop (In the Vall…

IN FACT this was the best 6mnths of my LIFE onboard this beautful old ship!! i met thousands of people, i saw many countrys and drank most nights! there were partys like u have never seen b4!!

I have now run out of new superlatives.  Perhaps Roget's might have something in the pipeline?  Tonight's campsite overlooks the village of Flam where there is a small railway and a Fjord ferry port.  Way up behind us is the roadway that comes out of the 5 km tunnel, towering mountai…
