Some 35 years ago a friend of mine visited that part of Norway and decided she liked it so much she wanted to live there. So she studied the language for a while, bade family and friends farewell and off she went. As far as I know, she's still there, somewhere between Bergen and Oslo. Now I've watched your video, I understand why. :)

In September of 1970 I rode the train from Began to Oslo when I was discharged from duty. I was serving aboard the USS Intrepid and my tour of duty was over. Caught a flight from Oslo to Iceland and then to New York City. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for the video, after 52 years to see the mountains and rivers and small villages and farms again, thanks.

On christmas eve in 2018 (which is when Norwegians celebrate christmas) two families of tourists, 2 sets of parents with 3 kids and a baby between them, accidentally got stranded at Finse. They had taken the train from Geilo and went out to look thinking there would be a later train to bring them back, but the train they were on was in fact the last train of the day. The station was closed and so was the hotel. The local authorities managed to open a room for them at the station, but they actually ended up spending the day with the locals, who, upon hearing about this, immediately went out in horrible conditions to pick them up on snowmobiles and bring them to the traditional Finse christmas festivities and served them traditional christmas food. They stated it was the best experience of their lives.

I did this trip from Oslo to Bergen in the week between Christmas and New Year through an amazing blizzard in the mountains, with extremely high winds and heavy snow fall. The trip was absolutely wonderful. Majestic frozen waterfalls, various shades of turquoise. Dog sleds at some stations because of deep snow. Caravans frozen into solid blocks of translucent ice, perfectly cubed by the winds, Massive stalactite and stalagmite, translucent, frozen fjords. I was lucky the train was not so packed with people, meaning I could move between seats, I spent a quite few hours eating and drinking hot chocolate in the dining car with its panoramic windows. Truly an unbelievable winter wonderland. After spending some time in Bergen with a friend, I caught a train to Trondheim, Norway and another to a little village named Hell. At the Hell railway station I had my passport stamped, I now have a return rail ticket to Hell, and a Hell stamp in my passport as a memento. lol. Returning to Trondheim, I took a 12 hour train ride to Stockholm, Sweden, another breath taking train ride to beautiful Stockholm, snow flakes as large as the palm of my hand, yet so light and fluffy. The central heating in all the train carriages were tremendous, on all trips. Weeks later, I took over night cruise ship to Helsinki, Finland across the frozen Baltic Sea. The winds whistling through Helsinki were so strong it negated the need for ice skates, the locals rode those winds across massive city squares, along black ice covered pavements, a little dangerous, skating without skates, but so much fun. I crossed the Baltic sea again some time later by ferry to beautiful old city of Tallinn, Estonia. 3 months in amazingly beautiful Scandinavia during winter. I highly recommend the experience. Thank you Steve for sharing your summer adventure in beautiful Norway, It has bought back so many great memories.

Exteriors of the ice world Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back” were shot in the tiny village of Finse, Norway. The cast and crew stayed at the Finse 1222 Hotel, where snowstorm scenes were shot from the back door. But the main battlefield scenes were shot on the nearby glacier. Also: Travelling during fall or spring is amazing on this line, as you gain or lose altitude the seasons change with it.

A fun fact about Finse. It was the setting for the ice planet Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. Busy days on the train then no doubt. Great video as always!

In 2017 I did the same journey, but the other way around....I spent 6 out of the 7 hours in the dining carriage, but because I was the only English woman on a German Tour package.....the Norwegian Staff were wonderful to me AND very sympathetic.

My wife and I did that trip last year. Unfortunately, due to railway work, we had to go by bus from Bergen to Voss (great scenery on the bus as well, and lots of tunnels too), then continued on from there on the train. We were able to switch seats to right hand side, so that was a plus. And our weather was sunny and warm as well. Scenery is absolutely fantastic, and highly recommend this train trip. Hoping to go back to Norway again and also do the Flam railway. Great video and commentary, really enjoyed it! PS We took an overnight ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen, that was like a mini-cruise and very enjoyable.
