Flåmsbana / the Flåm Railway reserve the right to change and correct any information provided in this document due to possible changes in operating and contract conditions, meaning that we are unable to deliver services according to the descriptions. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND FACTS As one of Norway’s few private railways, we can offer a train journey through the best Norway can display of beautiful, untouched and dramatic nature. Tickets for the Flåm Railway, solely or combined with NSB’s (Norwegian State Railways) lines, can be purchased from all manned stations and most travel agencies, as well as from our local sales office in Flåm station. The Flåm Railway - idyll and spectacular The journey from Flåm at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord, up to the high mountain station at Myrdal on the Bergen Railway, is a railway experience unparalleled in Europe; 20 kilometres long with a descent of 2,838 feet and a gradient of 1 metre in 18! The gradient is unique for this kind of ordinary gauge railway, and to cope with the enormous height difference, the track runs partly through tunnels which spiral in and out of the mountainside. The journey through the steep and narrow Flåm Valley, with views of mighty waterfalls and mountain peaks, takes about 60 minutes. The train travels slowly and even stops at the most scenic spots. The trains from and to Flåm connect at Myrdal with most day-trains running between the capital city of Oslo and Bergen on the west coast. Combined and co-ordinated travels The Flåm Railway and NSB’s Oslo – Bergen Railway are cooperating on the same ticket system, which gives an opportunity to have a common and a general train ticket. For co-ordinated travels on both lines, the company who issues the tickets is responsible for – and must provide – all necessary seat reservations for both lines. See page no. 9 for more info. Rail fares and payment Our prices for 2015 are listed on page no. 10. Note that the fares from Flåm to Vatnahalsen and Reinunga stations are the same as from Flåm to Myrdal. We accept payment by cash or credit card at point of boarding, or by voucher from well-known clients. If you are using voucher and invoice we add a fee of NOK 50 per invoice. Note that the invoices as per today will be sent through our account partner “NSB Regnskap”. Invoices are to be paid within 15 days, for delayed payments an interest will be charged. 5 Seat reservations Our train sets have a total capacity of 525 seats. On the Flåm Railway it is only possible to reserve seats for groups starting from 10 persons, and customers who do not participate in organised groups can use one of our carriages intentioned for individuals. Seat reservation for groups is compulsory but free of charge. Reservations are shown by “reserved-sign” stickers with the group’s name on the train windows - there are no numbered seats. We recommend that seats are reserved well in advance, and please use the Internet, fax or e-mail if possible. It is a great help if the booking comprises of an alternative departure, as some departures may be frequently fully booked on days with high demand. For all group bookings it is important to inform us of any major changes in the number of travellers or possible cancellations. Missing information regarding changes or cancellations, may lead to a penalty fee of the ordinary fare invoiced. Confirmation of reservations For Flam Railway reservations we recommend our online booking system at: www.flambooking.com. All bookings will be confirmed automatically, no matter the date of travel. For combines travels with the Bergen Railway (NSB – Norwegian State Railway) the earliest we can confirm your booking is 100 days before departure. We will contact you if any problems with pre-booked reservations occur.

Normalt er dette NINAs rapportering til oppdragsgiver etter gjennomført forsknings-, overvåkings- eller utredningsarbeid. I tillegg vil serien favne mye av instituttets øvrige rapportering, for eksempel fra seminarer og konferanser, resultater av eget forsk- nings- og utredningsarbeid og litteraturstudier. NINA Rapport kan også utgis på annet språk når det er hensiktsmessig. NINA Temahefte Som navnet angir behandler temaheftene spesielle emner. Heftene utarbeides etter behov og se- rien favner svært vidt; fra systematiske bestemmelsesnøkler til informasjon om viktige problemstil- linger i samfunnet. NINA Temahefte gis vanligvis en populærvitenskapelig form med mer vekt på illustrasjoner enn NINA Rapport. NINA Fakta Faktaarkene har som mål å gjøre NINAs forskningsresultater raskt og enkelt tilgjengelig for et større publikum. De sendes til presse, ideelle organisasjoner, naturforvaltningen på ulike nivå, politikere og andre spesielt interesserte. Faktaarkene gir en kort framstilling av noen av våre viktigste forsk- ningstema.
