Overview

An unforgettable journey

With towering mountains, dramatic waterfalls and fantastic views of the fjord, this journey goes through a beautiful and wild arctic landscape. The train makes several stops along the way to ensure you get the most out of the trip, and with the help of the “Voice of Norway” app you can listen to the history of the places you pass on the journey.

Ofotbanen

The construction of the Ofotbanen started at the end of the 19th century and stretched a couple of years into the next century. The railway was built to ensure access to an ice-free export port for the huge iron ore deposits from northern Sweden. Itinerant workers, so-called “rallers” sought their fortune in what was referred to as Europe's “Klondyke”, and at most over 5,000 people were involved in the construction of the track.
