Norway in a Nutshell in December 2026: in daylight or in the dark?
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: Flåm Railway (Flåm to Myrdal) at 15:50 (Fjord first, Flåm Railway in the afternoon): twilight only, the sun is down. Sun up 09:38–15:18. The "Flåm Railway first, fjord after" version keeps it in daylight. With the usual timing, 31 of 31 days in December reach a main stop after sunset or before sunrise.
The round trip by train, bus, fjord boat and the Flåm Railway. In winter the fjord cruise is in daylight but the Flåm Railway climb, the most scenic hour, often runs in twilight or dark.
