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.

Amazing

Published on Jan, 2024

Beautiful scenery with very friendly helpful staff. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget. They say sit on the left as that is the best view, don’t worry if you aren’t seated on the left because the train crew ask people to swap over so you get a view going or returning. We travelled with parents and family and this trip appealed to all ages. Fantastic value for money.

A must do experience

A very scenic and pleasant trip. Unfortunately it was very misty which was a shame but we enjoyed being in the snow - it was a very atmospheric experience. The train the tour guides were extremely helpful. It was a bonus on our cruise.

Great landscape views along fjord

Published on Sep, 2023

Excellent trip. Same as the cruise ship one at a fraction of the cost. Sit on left (fjord facing) side of train on departure. Ideally people are to switch sides for return trip but not everyone extends common courtesy. Area near train doors has fold down seats that offer good views and easy window access.

Arctic Train was worth the time

Published on Aug, 2023

We took the 11:40am train. It was a lumbering ride with a few station stops along the way. You were able to jump off, stretch your legs and reboard. The higher elevations offered beautiful views and waterfalls over the valleys. Be sure to get a seat on the LEFT side as it offers the best views. Also, be sure to grab a drink and snack at the station cafe before you depart. The selection is better.

Wow!
