Europe’s highest railway, the Bergensbahnen, links Oslo and Bergen, climbing to 4000 feet across a barren snowclad Hardangervidda mountain plateau and descends through steep valleys, mirrored in the fjords below. This has been designated as one of the great railway journeys of the world and is just as dramatic in the winter months. A stop off in the fjordside village of Flåm, at this time devoid of the summer crowds, reveals a sleepy hamlet of a bygone era.
