1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)

Experience an unforgettable train ride on Norway’s northernmost railway, the Ofoten Line, stretching 43 km from Narvik to Bjørnfjell on the Swedish border. Originally built in the late 19th century to transport iron ore from Kiruna’s mines to Narvik’s ice-free port, this railway played a crucial role during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Narvik. Today, the Ofoten Line is both a vital transport route and a breathtaking tourist attraction.
