Jewel of the Seas — Norway; Beginning our Flåmsbana Adventure


Flåmsbana (the Flåm Railway) 10:16 a.m.

Traversing the Flåmsdalen (Flåm Valley) is a real treat. The scenery is breathtaking. Tall mountains line both sides, and picturesque waterfalls draw white ribbons along steep cliffs as they cascade toward the Flåmselvi river. Rather than give a blow-by-blow description of the sights, I’m going to caption the photos below with their time stamps to give you an idea of the timeline for this journey.

Flåmsdalen (Flåm Valley) 10:20 a.m.
