Bergen Railway Ski Safari

Fly direct into Bergen from London, Manchester, Edinburgh or Aberdeen. Take the Express Bus or the Light Rail from the airport to Bergen Station, where you'll start your Bergen Railway adventure. Journey along the highest mainline railway in northern Europe, climbing above the treeline, passing tumbling waterfalls and dramatic fjords. The train goes directly to Geilo - your first stop!

Geilo’s gentler slopes provide the perfect warm-up before heading to Voss, which offers more of a challenge. Located on the Ustedalsfjorden Lake and national parkland, Geilo is a fantastic location for non-ski activities such as dog sledding and ice fishing.

The journey between Geilo and Voss takes around 2 hours, so you can choose to either ski the morning in Geilo before travelling to Voss or catch an early train for an afternoon skiing Voss. Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely breakfast and take this as a rest day.

Spend two days exploring Voss' all-abilities ski area, overlooking a stunning frozen lake. The beginner and family area is based at the top of the mountain so everyone can enjoy a real mountain experience, while there are some thigh-burning black runs and easy-access off-piste for more adventurous skiers. In the evenings, explore the local town with it's many restaurants, bowling alley, swimming pool and even an indoor sky diving centre!

Approximately 30 km (19 miles) north of Voss is Myrkdalen, another excellent resort renowned for its powder and off-piste terrain, and slopes that cater for all levels. When combined with Voss, it effectively doubles your skiable area. Visiting Myrkdalen is optional, but we can provide a lift pass that covers access to both resorts for no additional charge, plus there is a daily ski bus connecting the resorts. It makes a perfect pairing with Voss during your time here.

If you’re feeling more adventurous, we highly recommend taking a day to visit Flåm. You'll take another world-famous railway (even more scenic than the Bergen Railway!) and cruise through the fjords on an electric boat. You can even add a night or two here before continuing your journey!

The best way to travel back to Bergen is to board the train one last time. Kick back and relax as you climb up the most scenic section of this historic railway line, passing snow drifts, rocky creeks, mountain ranges, and glacial tundra. Spend your last night in this historic city, strolling through the famous Bryggen and tasting local seafood.  Not done skiing? You chould choose to ski right through to last lift and catch an evening train to Bergen.

Take a short shuttle or tram to the airport to fly home. You have an evening flight, so plenty of time to explore the city. The city views from Mount Fløyen are stunning, and the wood-clad boathouses of Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf make this a beautiful place to wander.
