gojocruise Posted May 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to take bikes on the train up to Merdal and then cycle back down to Flam? I'm thinking about hiring a couple of bikes for the day to do that - does the train accommodate taking bikes? Has anyone else done this? I would love a few pointers in the right direction. ie Bike hire, price, would I need to book ahead with the train before the day? Thank you, Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted May 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2013 It should be possible to take bikes on the train - I'll suggest that you do contact the railway at flaamsbana@visitflam.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fla Folks Posted May 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Actually you can rent the bikes in Myrdal and leave them in Flam, no need to take them on the train. I reserved them through the cafe at the Mrydal train station for my upcoming cruise . I don't have their email address with me, I'm traveling away from home this weekend. I'm sure you kind find it by conducting a search on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Jo The cost is aprox $40 to hire bikes from Mydral back to Flam. We were hoping to do it last week,but there was too much snow on the mountain....we walked back the last 3 km from train to Flam instead. I have there email at home...i'll post it tomorrow when I get back. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the snow will have cleared by then :) Such a shame the snow hadn't quite cleared for your trip. Did you do any other excursions whilst in Flam?
