The train from Oslo to Bergen is known as being one of the most beautiful rides in the world, and it was nothing less than incredible. We left while it was still dark in Oslo, but the light slowly rose and over the trees and snow that lined the rails as we climbed into the mountains. The whole ride took the majority of the light part of the day, and I was thankful that the sun actually came out as we passed through the winter wonderland that I longed to play in.
The train passed through snow-covered mountains, frozen lakes and snowed-in villages. The light looked so beautiful since it never rose that high above the horizon and it lit the mountains from the side. I wished at every train station that I could just get out there and hang out in the white mountains, but I would just take a breath of icy fresh air, snap a photo or two, and then get back on in hopes that the next stop would make staying on the train worth it (and it usually was).
I understand why people from all over the world take this train just for the fantastic views.
