The Ofoten Line

The railway is unique—though it stretches 42 km (26 miles) through Norway, it is not connected to the rest of the country's railway network. However, it does link with the Swedish railway system at the border, continuing on to Kiruna and beyond. Remarkably, one curve just outside of Narvik marks the northernmost point of the Western European standard gauge railway network. From Narvik, you can board a train and travel to nearly any destination across Europe. Alternatively, enjoy a shorter round-trip to the Swedish border, where you can take in the breathtaking variety of landscapes along the route.
