Flåm Line

In 1924, hundreds of workers used hands, picks, shovels, and acute determination to dig and carve out ample space within and throughout a series of soaring mountains. The resulting eighteen tunnels made possible the hour-long, twisting journey between western Norway’s Flåm and Myrdal stations.
