All aboard the Arctic Train for a fantastic round-trip journey through desolate, wild and stunning landscapes. The Ofoten Railway winds along an amazing 43-kilometer route, from the jaw-dropping sights of Narvik’s ice-blue fjord, past gushing waterfalls, and into the alpine setting of Nordland’s towering mountains. Your private train car will take you through beautiful ever-changing landscapes, which are also rich in WW2 history, to picturesque Bjørnfjell station, and back. Enjoy extended stops at Rombak (264.7 metres above sea level) and Katterat (373.5 metres), and a coffee or tea, with a cinnamon bun, on your return.
