Rating

Rail travel on the Bergensbanen is preferred for its direct city-to-city connection and the unique landscape not visible from highways. Buses take longer due to mountain terrain and weather-related traffic; flights are faster but require travel to Gardermoen and Flesland airports, adding total transit time. The train provides much more space and the ability to move around during the long journey.

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