Train, plane or bus from Myrdal to Flam?
Weighing a flight against the train from Myrdal to Flam? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 1 hour on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.

We book the return leg from Flam to Myrdal just as easily, and normally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates.

How much does the train from Myrdal to Flam cost?
"How much is the train ticket from Myrdal to Flam?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.
What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the railway requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from Myrdal to Flam: how to pay less
A cheap train ticket from Myrdal to Flam is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are generally the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Myrdal to Flam by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for the date you travel comes back on WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I book a return train ticket from Flam to Myrdal?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form and give the date you come back; a return fare and two singles are compared and the cheaper one booked. An open return date can be added later through the same chat.
Do children need a ticket on the Myrdal to Flam train?
Children have their own fare bands set by Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana): the youngest usually travel free, older children at a reduced fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat them next to you.
Is there a luggage limit on the train?
There is no weight limit and nothing to pay for bags on the Myrdal to Flam train: whatever you can lift onto the rack travels with you. Skis, bicycles and pushchairs have their own simple rules, which we clarify when they apply.
Can I choose my seat?
Yes, wherever Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) allows seat selection. Say what you prefer when we message you - a table of four, a window seat, the quiet coach, seats in a block for a group - and we reserve accordingly.
What is the difference between the classes?
Mostly comfort and quiet. The higher class gives wider seats, more legroom and fewer passengers, sometimes a drink or at-seat service; the standard class is perfectly comfortable for the 1 hour journey. We send the cost of each so you can compare.
What happens if I miss the train?
A fixed-departure ticket is only valid on the train you booked; a flexible one can be used on a later departure. We tell you which type you hold before payment, and if something goes wrong on the day our WhatsApp desk helps you sort it out.
Can I change or cancel my train ticket?
That depends on the fare you chose: flexible tickets can be changed or refunded, the cheapest promotional fares typically cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any later change for you in the same chat.
Do I need to print the ticket?
No. The e-ticket on your phone - a PDF or a booking reference, depending on Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) - is enough on the Myrdal to Flam route. If a printed copy or the booking ID is ever required, we say so when we send it.
Is it better to take the train or fly from Myrdal to Flam?
Almost always the train on this route: about 1 hour from one city centre to the other, no airport transfers, no security queue and no baggage fees. We provide flights as well and will tell you honestly if flying suits your dates better.
How early should I be at Myrdal?
Twenty to thirty minutes is enough for a domestic or European departure; slightly more if the station has a ticket gate or security check, which we tell you about. Doors close a minute or two before the timetabled time.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange a transfer to and from the stations?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Myrdal and another from Flåm to your hotel in Flam, with room for everyone's luggage, can be added to the ticket confirmation.
Can I book the Myrdal to Flam train for a group?
Yes. Give the number of passengers on the form; we reserve seats together and ask the operator for a group fare where one exists, which often makes the train the cheapest way to move a group.
Is Wi-Fi available on the train?
Many trains between Myrdal and Flam offer Wi-Fi, with quality that varies by service; power sockets at most seats keep phones and laptops charged for the journey.
When is the best time to book the Myrdal to Flam train?
The moment your dates are fixed - fares on this route open low and rise as seats sell, and holiday, weekend and summer departures fill first. Booking early is the single biggest saving.
Can I bring a pet?
Small pets in a carrier are accepted on most trains on this route, normally with a pet ticket; larger dogs have their own rules. Tell us in the WhatsApp chat and we finalise what applies to your departure.
