Myrdal Station

Getting around: Myrdal is reached via the Bergen-Oslo main railway line, or as the upper terminus of the Flåm Railway climbing up from Flåm village - it's a mountain junction station, not a village with independent road access for most visitors.
Hours: No visitor hours as such - it's a functioning railway station, accessible whenever trains run, with connections timed around the Flåm Railway and main line schedules.

Myrdal is a remote, high-altitude railway junction with little around it besides the station itself, where the Flåm Railway connects to the main Bergen-Oslo line. Its purpose for most visitors is purely transitional - it's where you change trains, not somewhere to spend time - though the bleak, treeless mountain setting at over 800 metres is a striking contrast to the green fjord-level scenery just twenty minutes down the line at Flåm.

For Norway in a Nutshell travelers, Myrdal is simply the connection point in the itinerary, with limited to no reason to linger unless there's a scheduling gap between trains.

Myrdal Station FAQs

Is there anything to do at Myrdal station itself?

Very little - it's primarily a transfer point between the Flåm Railway and the Bergen-Oslo main line, with minimal facilities.

Why do people pass through Myrdal?

It's the standard connection point in the Norway in a Nutshell route and any journey combining the Flåm Railway with the main Oslo-Bergen line.

How different is the scenery at Myrdal compared to Flåm?

Quite different - Myrdal sits at over 800 metres in a bare, treeless mountain landscape, a sharp contrast to Flåm's green fjord-level setting just 20 minutes away by train.

Is there a village at Myrdal?

No, it's essentially just the station in a remote mountain location, not a settlement in any real sense.

How much time is there between connecting trains?

It varies by the specific itinerary and time of year - check the timetable, since gaps range from short and tight to a longer wait depending on the connection.
