I recommend you to take the train ride simply referred to as Raumabanen. It goes through a large part of Møre og Romsdal (Åndalsnes is where I entered the train) all the way to Oslo. It is by far the most beautiful train ride I have ever taken (I haven’t travelled Oslo-Bergen by train though, only by car, it was a spectacular journey). It takes you through fjords and over mountains where you can see an almost turqouise little river flowing in the dramatic landscape, meeting the fjord around the “edge” of the mountain. It takes you to Dombås in Gudbrandsdalen where you have a spectacular view, there you have to change trains (either to Oslo, or you can also go to Trondheim etc. if you wish – of course, it would be sort of stupid as you just went the opposite way from Trondheim). I can’t really explain it, it was amazing. There were a lot of tourists on the train and they were glued to the window. I think they actually thought I was crazy when I fell asleep halfway through it because I was so tired, seeing as I then missed some of the best scenery of the journey.

I have been to Norway several times and have been completely and thoroughly blown away by the beauty that is everywhere. I live in Hawaii and Norway is far more beautiful. Trondheim to Bodo is also a fantastic ride. I want to live part-time there beginning next year and am leaning Norwegian now.

we want to do this trip (well, I certainly do), and I know my parents do as well. NRK showed the journey (real time) on TV a cpl months ago too
(You can get it on DVD, but sadly no English subtitles – was going to be a Christmas present for my Mum)
