I went on the Flam railway as part of the Flam Railway Adventure with Thomson cruises, and it truly is an adventure not to be missed! You board the train in Flam (if thats where you wish to start) and it journeys up the steep mountains. The train is nice and warm whilst you look out at the cold landscape surronding you. The views are simply stunning, everywhere you look there is a thunderous waterfall, or low hanging mist, don't forget to pack the camera and nab that window seat! Along the way up into the mountains you stop at a waterfall, and literally walk off the train onto the ground. The waterfall (or Fossen, in Norwegian) is right next to the train, but with a nice fence to stop you tumbling to a nice watery grave. You can't fully appreciate the actual size of the waterfall until some enchanting music starts to boom around the area (which, by the way, is like a hollowed area with no roof surronded by cliff like walls), and a lady steps out on a rock near the front of the waterfall and starts to dance, dressed fully in native Norwegian clothing and the classic blonde plaits. The mist of the waterfall will soak you, so be sure to pack something waterproof.
