Board the Arctic Train and experience the landscapes of northern Norway from the comfort of a rail car. Traveling on the historic Ofoten Railway, you'll journey from Narvik's fjord shoreline through valleys, mountains, and Arctic scenery on a route that stretches nearly 27 miles to Bjørnfjell Station.
During the journey, a guide dressed in traditional Narvik attire shares local stories and regional history, offering insight into the area's culture and heritage. Along the way, enjoy views of the changing landscape as the railway climbs from fjord level into the surrounding mountains.
The train makes extended stops at Rombak and Katterat, allowing time to step off the train, take photographs, and appreciate the mountain setting. After reaching Bjørnfjell, relax on the return journey to Narvik with a cup of coffee or tea and a cinnamon bun.
This rail excursion offers a comfortable way to experience the scenery and history of the Narvik region.
