Rauma River
Hollywood glamour
The journey starts at Åndalsnes Station and moves along the beautiful Rauma River.
Take part in the same adventurous route as Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Just remember to follow the thrills from the safety of your seat and we'll leave the action scenes on top of the roof to Ethan Hunt.
Troll Wall (Trollveggen)
Meet the Trolls
Almost hugging the massive Troll Wall you are treated with an up close, epic view of Europe’s largest vertical rock face.
According to the old legends trolls will turn into stone if exposed to sunlight. Many moons ago a fairytale troll wedding took place in Romsdalen.
When the bridal party climbed on top of the happy couple's new house to make sure it was as high as the sky, the sunrise caught them by surprise. To this day you can see the stone troll family looking down at you.

The railway officially opened in 1924
An Engineering Masterpiece
Built with groundbreaking technology for its time, the Rauma Railway is possibly Norway's most impressive engineering projects ever.
Starting in 1912, the building process was long and challenging. As a workaround through the steep inclines in the mountain rich area, the route includes a turning system with an 180 degree tunnel turn.
This meant that the railway managed to avoid the maximum gradient being exceeded. In the beginning of the 1900s this was revolutionary technology, which thankfully was supported by masterful handiwork. The railway officially opened in 1924.
