Practical Information for Norwegian Rail Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on Vy Trains. Traveling through Norway includes specific rules for carry-on items. Below are key points for bringing luggage aboard the Dovre Line:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers are permitted to bring up to 30 kg of luggage divided into a maximum of three items. This allowance ensures you have enough capacity for hiking gear or winter clothing needed for Norwegian climates.

Storage Facilities

Trains feature overhead racks for smaller bags and large floor-level racks at the entrance of each carriage for suitcases. Always keep aisles clear for passenger movement during the journey.

Special Items

Bicycles and skis require a separate reservation and fee. Space for these items is limited, particularly during peak winter or summer seasons, so booking these additions early is required.

Rail travel on the Dovre Line connects city centers directly, avoiding the wait times associated with regional airports. While buses follow the E6 highway with similar durations, the train offers more space and on-board dining. Flying requires a trip to Oslo or a connecting flight, making the train the more straightforward choice for transit between these specific Norwegian hubs.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
