The Bergen Line - This line connects the two most important cities in Norway, Oslo and Bergen, and the train journey "over the roof of Norway" is an experience in a class of its own. The Bergen Line is a unique experience on Northern Europe's highest railway. One of the greatest challenges for the Bergen Line is the harsh and changeable weather. The line is exposed to deep low-pressure centres from the west, which can mean strong winds and heavy snow for part of the year.
